dont need one mate, just sit back and wait and the zoners will tell u all. i have v ltd knowledge but make sure it is a proper Sport and not a looklike, shud have black headling, LSD, map reading lights in the rear view mirror, u shud be able to crack 0.60 in 2 changes i.e. 1st, 2nd as Sports have close ratio boxes, full m-tech bodykit, 15 BBS cross spokes.It may sport 325i sport on V5 log book.Make sure no blue smoke out of zorst, check oil level in particular make sure no oil in header tank "mayo" as this indicates a knackered head gasket

Body work check both rear arches, bottom of rear panel, jacking points and bulkhead. Make sure it has cam belt history.

Cheers
