Looks like a little minter, just watch out for the hood motor breaking - what does he mean by a 'roof service'?

It looks about right money to me. I bought a 93 K reg 318i lux cab with 24,000 miles for £5,000. Mine has leather & one owner so yours seems on the button. Enjoy it, I'm just back in from a long spin with my wife with the roof down.

Looks like a design/neon edition? I think they came with those interiors as standard. Can't say I've ever seen it about town, but with such low milage it maybe doesn't get out much!

Looks nice and tidy.

Check for rust on the wheelarch's, scuttle panel (under the windscreen), rear valence, wings, inner sills. Everywhere really.

Make sure everything works as it should including the hood.

It's the M40 engine as well so make sure it's reasonably quiet, tappety top end or reluctant to rev means a head rebuild £Â£Ã‚£.
If the mileage is correct and it's been looked after you should be ok.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers,

I went to see a car in Edinburgh just like this a year and a half ago, before i bought my black 318is. It was a woman owner and they were asking top money for it. It turned out to be a complete dog and was quite obviously clocked, badly worn interior (she was quite big lol) and needing some paint work done, was deffo not at that address in pictures tho.

Welcome Sl8ter! Tell us some more...
I paid a bit less for my Cab, just over a year ago, so probably about right for the money. (although a lot of people on here would say they're overpriced).
