Interesting colour. What are your thoughts? Yes / No? Personally... It's a gonna be a NO from me, but everyone has their own taste in colour, so that's not a bad thing.

The colour bothers me less than those wheels (and the obligatory JDM monsoons).

They look terrible in normal colours...

And it's not even a wrap so you can't peel it off and make it a better car either.

Mind you, it would be very easy to spot in the car park!!

They all look terrible on a hoist from underneath as well, even with an oil/ coolant rain coat on

Do they leak/seep easily?

If so, is it negligent maintenance do you think or built in problems?

It's just an 11 year old BMW, not negligence and in a lot of cases catch up maintenance . Being a 4.8 @ 130k it's in handgrenade   territory

Are they really that bad Glenn? I thought one with valve stem seals done would be ok and a safer option than the later ones?

Really depends on how well it's been maintained and what is wrong with it now at the point of sale. A PPI done by a professional BMW repairer should be able to evaluate correctly and give the right advice to a potential buyer.
