I have heard underbody rust can be an issue? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted January 30, 2018 General consensus is beware of ex UK cars as they are more prone to underbody rust. A good inspection is recommended. However, I dont see anything appealing about this car you have put in the link? Non msport spec and has wheels from an E46 (wrong offset/fitment for E90/E91) Not particularily cheap either for what it is.. plenty of better examples around I think 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
