just remember when it comes to beemers, if it seems too good to be true thats because it is. most desirable badge in the automotive world so lots of associated risk because of it.
ive been to view a couple of bmw's in my time and both of them i had to walk away from, first one was blatantly stolen, bits of broken glass in footwell and door pockets, no logbook or history, the other one was a write off that had been repaired cut and shut style and had new plates and missing vin numbers.
if you can get a good look underneath do so, lots of bmw's get into accidents and are badly repaired, check for evidence of welding, mis-aligned panels, check wheels all sit straight in the arches on both sides, look for odd suspension components etc
