Anyone know this car? Black 323i M-sport 5 spd

[Bmwasaur 1]

In my ongoing quest to find a first manual BMW I've come accross this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/323i/auction-665747216.htm

Anyone know this car? Seem like a reasonable deal?

I'm in welly so can't go have a look unfortunately - that rust patch is a bit worrying, looks like it's far enough away from a hinge/door lock to not be a wof prob, but I still couldn't live with it there for long.

Looks okay and reasonably priced for the mileage and age (though I'd probably try and get it for $4K). Owner seems fairly straight up to from his description. Looks good on those style 65 reps too.

I'm sure there's a member on the Shore who could take a look for you.
