Having lusted after one of these for a while, I've decided to take the plunge. I know all about the SMG issues etc having read the excellent buyers guide on here, but as I'm only going to use it for weekends/holidays (say 6000/year tops) I'm prepared to take the hit.

However I have a dilemma - mileage? Would I be better going for a very low mileage one such as the ones for sale at Hexagon Classics in London (they have 2 - an 06 plate with 11400 miles, and an 08 plate with 18000 miles - both £34000) or one with slightly higher mileage such as Munich Legends (06 plate with 24600 miles at £26750) ?

There are several on PH with higher mileage as well (Sytner Boreham Wood 06 plate 45000 miles £25000/Cooper BMW 07 plate 58000 miles £23500) for example.

Any ideas/suggestions as which would be better ? I'm slightly wary over very low mileage cars as I wonder if they have ever been driven or warmed through properly?
