Yes but from what I hear, that dealer is into that sort of business. That 525d isn't cheap enough for a 110,000 mile car anyway...

Thanks all,

No didn't buy, my friend said the gear box has to come out and some (could be wrong on the technical) sync gear or springs on the plate ??, any how the best part of 800 yo yos to fix depending were you you go. Said it to the sales guy and he still had no idea of what i was talking about-- so that made my mind up.

Theres plenty more around, had a quick look over the pond and with vrt, exchange rates all cleared looks like a save of around 4k. 'me wonders me do'

You've learnt a valuable lesson, always investigate a car you are purchasing...

Over in the UK you will have a much a wider selection of much higher spec cars at lower prices. You will also have the advantage of the HPI check. Irish BMW's up until 2003 were very poor spec until BMW took back the distribution.
