I saw one locally with 35k miles for 12.5 K was well clean too and would be even nicer with 19" BBS wheels.
Do love the idea of a Roadster sometimes though 
Saying that for 17k you can pick up a fairly decent e46 m3 nowdays

Blimey that was cheap, although the vanos would have prob gone in the next 10K at that millage; £2K fix!
Im already on the hunt for the BBS CH wheels, but they are like gold dust!
M3 was silly insurance; even the e36 m3 evo was almost £3K to insure, i have payed just over £1K on this and is rarer and faster!

Nah it was on a 51 plate 55k miles (which is not bad for the year) and full BMW dealer history. Went and checked it out with one of the practice partners and he bought it for his missus. Rember its getting on for 4-5 years old now?

Indeed, and some coilovers to compliment. They are silly money tho so might have to wait for a while for a good deal to come up!!

Nah i quite like the driving position and the ride is really quite good; tbh prefer it to the s2k whic i was gonna get. Much more comfy than our S2K; my old man keeps trying to get me to swap and said he will buy it off me when i sell it
Next week then knowing you
