you guys have cheered me up

stevebu, you mention the interior: the headlining is a sorry mess, all stained, and the lining on the sunroof is loose and looks like someone has had it down and put it back wrongly at some time.

the rest of the int is pretty nice. pacific leder. carpets protected from new with bmw mats. door cards all good.

plenty of SI faults (of course!) in the cluster.

basic non-AC heater system, less to go wrong. only works in defrost mode.

No OBC, just a digital clock.

no cruise.

no power seats.

I bought it for its leather and to part out. Now I'm wavering....
