20” wheels are standard, so are cameras, blah blah, blah. Why can’t the consignor do more research? Mini running costs? Not if it goes wrong. Mine is under warranty to avoid that issue.

Hi, A few questions...
1. Tyres are shot and MOT runs out in October....Why not put some decent tyres on it and get the MOT? It'll get better bids!!
2. Have you run a battery 'state of health check'...it's deep in the menu.
3 On full charge what battery only mileage is shown.
4 Are you keeping the reg number?
I'll set up a visit to take a look!
Thanks, Nick.

Easy to add the extended warranty at anytime if someone is concerned. I had it in my M5 for 10+ years and never claimed once. Had it in the i8 for first 2 years and didn’t claim, hence have stopped it. Can be added back as I say.

As for alloys / cameras - doing our best to explain the spec, that’s all.

Thanks for the message.

As you can see historically - no issues on MOT bar the advisory (which are still above legal limit given the small mileage I’ve done in the car). Happy to put another year on the MOT if useful, not a problem.

Battery is good - the more it’s used the higher the mileage on full charge gets to. Currently reaches between 24-28.

Reg number - keeping it unless someone wants it included and the number is right.

Many thanks

Not sure if BMW changed what was optional on the Roadsters, but the standard wheel on the original Coupe was Style 444, the style fitted to this one are Option code 2W8 - style 470 which was a £1150 option, the other being option 2HP - the Turbine style 625 @ £1380.

470 wheels are standard on both the Coupe and Roadster from 2018

The only obvious factory options are the Blue Seat Belts and Online Entertainment

It doesn't have the two big options of the aero pack or laser lights. (easy to tell as the aero pack has a little rear spoiler and the laser lights an additional smaller LED running light)

Might have the Apple Car Play but I can't tell from the photos - most do.

The eDrive exterior sound is another option I can't tell if fitted (not that anyone would care either way)

Sophisto Grey, metallic with Frozen Grey accent is standard paint - but in my opinion the best colour combination as it drops the blue highlights
