High mileage may be of some concern, also price seems very steep to me, what do you think ?

High mileage isnt a problem if its been properly serviced. Looks clean as well.

I think it's just the picture, if you look at the other pics showing the same side, you can't see it. I think i may pass on this as TAX is coming to an end and haggling over price would only reduce it to Ԛ£800-Ԛ£900, leaving me to still get TAX and a service. Getting on over Ԛ£1k! 8O A tad over my budget.

My cousin reckons if can't find one i should look at 318i Lux or 320iSE ! :?

If I were you, I would definately hold out for a 318is, would be worth the wait. I agree that there is rust on the door of this one though. I know of a 318is going fairly cheap with fsh, 189k, tax and mot til end of august, all the usual bits, but its bloody white!

It might be the picture, but it looks like there's rust on the bottom of the wing as well.

Btw - What's wrong with a white IS? I've owned E30's in most colours and I think white is probably the nicest i've had. :)

I'm about 700 miles away from clocking the magic 200,000 miles on my motor. It's been looked after and is only now showing signs of wear to the running gear. My Diff started to whine last week.....!!
