Spoiler is horrendous. I remember when Dad and I first saw these and hated it.
Otherwise, nice car.

Well, I just got back from seeing it.
Was such a great example, I bought it.
It wasn't just the Automatic gearbox, it was the SMG box **EDIT its the Steptronic box, not SMG**, Auto with sports and Sequential manual option.
I actually dont mind the colour, compliments the black leather interior.
Took it for a spin and it was just awesome, smooth, fast and you can really hear the engine too, its got all the optional extras, the Harman Kardon stereo sounds wicked. The sequential box changes real quick too! I can vouch for the 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds anyway 
I actually have no problem with the spoiler, as I mentioned, I didnt like it at first, but in the flesh its more substantial than it looks.
Its clean as fook, the black leather is in top notch condition, tiny amount of wear on drivers side but no rips or tears.
Brand new Michelin Pilots all round, Brakes are probably about 2000miles old.
Really a tip top car, I traded in my Audi too and they gave me a reasonable price considering, saved me the ball ache of selling it anyway.
Pick it up next weekend

Glad you found another one mate, and that it was a far easier transaction!
Would personally want to remove the spoiler tbh but other than that, really like them. Certainly looks a very tidy example

Its 15mm lower than a standard BMW 330Ci already. Its got the M-tech suspension,which I understand is pretty good.
