Gawd bless the tinternet & super sleuthing skills.

Just found a post on bmwland by the very guy who's selling the car detailing all the problems it's had over the six months or so he's owned it. He's also exhausted all the 'cheap' options to fix the iDrive that's given up the ghost (and with it goes: Nav, parking sensors, radio, cd player, OBC, diagnostics & setup). Most worryingly was his post about a "burning smell" from around the battery where the fusebox is, so there could be wiring damage to sort.

We've agreed on a price that's £1,300-£1,500 under book value but fear that'll be swallowed up easily by the problems.

Shame as it's a really nice colour combination.
