Just wanting to raise awareness for this car, I travelled from Newcastle to Dundee to purchase this car yesterday. Once we had a look at the car it was evident that the drivers side front and rear has had non-disclosed repairs. The garage played dumb to this and said the managers were now involved etc but it has been listed again this morning. almost a 400 mile round trip and an expense of over £200 for nothing, also awaiting my £100 reservation fee.

- The front registration plate had 2 out of 4 screws in it.
- black strip below the registration plate on the driver side had white paint on it (poorly masked off when repaired)
- registration plate holder had white overspray.
- black duct on the driver's side also had areas of white paint.
- BMW badge on the bonnet had white paint on it.
- Inside the bonnet, the bonnet seal had white paint on it.
- Some foam on the inside of the windscreen below the heads-up display (drivers side) hanging out.
- HUD was a bit intermittent for showing up.
- Driver's side headlight has been opened and re-sealed, not factory sealant (compared to passenger side)
- The black diffuser also had an area of white paint on it and a small scuff.
- Passenger side rear diffuser there was an area with excessive black paint and orange peel.
- White paint on the boot seal.
- driver side exhaust was sticking out 20mm+ passed the bumper.
- Alloy wheels are all black but usually the alloys that are on, are part black with machined faces
- driver's side wheel arch, behind the spring you could see the white chassis which looked like it had a spray of oil on it (potentially a burst shock absorber)

I had a similar experience with bmw dealership. … 

bought an e90 m sport for a large amount.

it failed to start after a month, it went back in and they found it had been crashed and repaired, only found it due to the crushed wiring loom which is why the car stopped working. 
I handed it back to them and walked away…. Unfortunately I had financed it through my company and I didn’t check the finance had been void…. I found out that bmw finance didn’t know I had returned the car and they persued me through my closed business…sued me without contact and I was declared bankrupt by a court in Nottingham. … I live in Yorkshire…. I only found out when I went to move house and failed a credit check! 
nearly lost the house and my new family stressed. 
absolute nightmare and bmw didn’t even reply to me. ….
