Red interior, sakhir orange on the outside.

I like it.

But... seems to be missing a service. Running in was on time but nothing since 1k to current 37k miles. Reg starts ow15.

One owner. Marmit colour combo so wonder if it was someone on here..

Thanks
Mike

I don't know the vehicle, but a few general observations (mindful of the lack of servicing):

- the steering wheel is a lot shinier than I'd have expected for a car of that mileage
- the marks to the drivers seat also suggest more use than may be presented
- so too the discolouring of the exhaust tips
- cheap tyres

Thanks. Yes I noticed the drivers bolster is cracked when I looked at it. Fair play to you for spotting seat wear in the pictures, I can't see any!

Since manage to track down SH and it has a SP attached to it too, which the seller doesn't know about. I thought the price was really good but actually found a comp pack with better spec for oly 1.5k more, and black interior.

Nice spec and I like the colour combo. Doesn't look that well prepped though and asking too much IMO.

MOT history supports mileage, assuming it wasn't adjusted before the first MOT last year.

I'd see if BMW can confirm any history for the car, if it hasn't been serviced run a mile!

I found the service history so not so concerned at that.

Under bonnet area is stinking though, leaves etc in the inner wing cavities. I think the grommet area is clogged, slight dampness to rear foot well too. Most concerning was the amount of oil misting over the engine etc.

I personally love that colour combo, I wasn't expecting to like it when I opened the link but to me it just works perfectly with that colour combo, Bet it looks fantastic in the flesh.
