    GT has full BMW service history but would be due an MOT and service not long after purchase. Would have the cash to purchase outright but then majority of savings gone so wouldn't want any huge bills soon after purchase hence my slight reluctance to purchase. But keep thinking you only live once lol.
    What sort of service? At that mileage it good be a major service and possibly brakes both front and back. You could be looking at something near or over £1K depending where you take it.

    Does the 335 have the uprated X Drive or the version made with cheese?
    It's an X drive model with M sport plus pack and 19" alloys also.
    The tyres will also be costly should they need replacing, particularly if they're still on runflats.

    The original post says 70k now, maybe 75k when sold.

    One thing's for sure - with the thick end of two ton kerbweight, it's going to eat (ferociously expensive 19") tyres and brakes for breakfast, especially if the performance is actually used.
