Was a one owner from new when i got it and had full history with 52k on it.
Have to admit i did thrash the pants off it every second i was in it. The clutch just cant handle a thrashing and both clutchs (from and fitted by bmw) only lasted 7.5k. The gear box i blew 2nd whilst canning it. Vanos's just kept going?? First engine put a rod through the block at about 140mph. The second didnt even do 20 miles as it just let go (that was with the bmw tech driving not me). Was just a jinx!! But still one of the nicest cars i've ever driven. oh and in a year it went through 3 sets of tyres. Granted one set was on a track day Novel over
