I'm very sorry to cause offensive but that's what I was told to look for by a mechanic. Please advise me on what are relevant questions to ask sellers?Originally posted by furbix View PostIs it still for sale, what kind of life has it had, have the rtabs been done, is the paint flaking off the bumper and how many owners?

Regarding bumper I was told some were replaced under warranty because paint wasn't sticking to them. Regarding life its had, I merely don't want one thats been hammered round a track all it's life. The owners thing, I just don't want one thats been passed from owner to owner because it doesn't feel right or a press car.
Where do you get rtabs done for £100 and bumper resprayed for £200, I just rung a murketts and was quoted a lot more?

Ignore him.
There's a very good buy guide on here somewhere. Take a look.
If you use a good specialist you'll get those items done at a much more reasonable rate than a dealer.
Use dealers for warranty/service work by all means but not everything.:thumbs:
Ask about on here and you'll get some good recommendations for a trusted specialist.

so it's left me to say what a great car it is then? I guess if Furbix had read the entire post he'd have seen the RATB's have been done. It has had a number of owners too but I think people will back me up here I don't think it matters (I would say that though!) Truth be told it worried me when i bought it but not when I saw it (I bought it before I saw it -on faith, well not entirely I rang the BMW dealers that had done the service work and asked there opinion first). All I can say is read the entire thread for other opinions on my car and then give me a call. I honestly think if you are serious and come and see this car you wont walk away! That's good for you and will probably mean I'll be trawling gutters on the broken road to nowhere land feeling sorry for myself and wishing I never sold the car!!
Oh and the paint is flaking from the bumper and no it isn't a warranty issue - I checked but I am getting it done.

Agreed number of owners doesn't bother me, this is the type of car to change hands often, some people just have to have had one for a year or sometimes less, some are bought as part of a collection then sold on. Everyone says that these are cars to be bought on condition. I never had paint flaking issues, I imagine they are nothing compared to stone chipping. I would budget that the front end will need respraying every few years unless you armourfend it. Although that can yellow over time.
I think regarding the warranty on the paint then they did do a few in the earlier days but the time has long since passed for that.
I would say that the cars that have been tracked have been well looked after, they generally want for nothing and the car was designed for it, not to be solely sat in a garage, on the motorway, or in car parks at 'meets'.
