Friend of mine asked me about this but I'm only really experienced with Chimaeras. First MoT for about 12 years. Built in 1984 but registered in 1988? Is this common or an alarm bell?

Apart from being a bit steep (in my opinion of course ), the 'Tasmin' badge is from 1984 but being a 350i, it shouldn't perhaps be there?

Some of them did sit around in the dealers for a few years before being purchased.
Looks right for 1984, like the colour coded lattice wheels, reminds me of my first wedge.
Only odd thing I noticed is those horizontal slats in the air dam/radiator opening.
That hole is great for scooping up pheasants, which then bust the radiator, happened to me once.
Maybe a previous owner had that happen and fitted the slats.

Just did a car check and it was manufactured in 84 registered June 88 so probably was sat around for 4 years, it will be an trailing arm chassis, if you put the reg in it will come up

That is strange if it was reg in 88 it would have a E or F reg number not an A reg number which is 83/84, so some how it must have been reg at a later date and then had a earlier plate fitted if the car check is to be believed.
Its also got a series 2 front end but a series 1 rear end, To have the front end like this the wings have to be cut to take the spoiler, but a series 1 front end is narrower so its a custom made front spoiler, I have seen this done before, but why I ask, or it has series 2 wings and a correct spoiler fitted which means it may have some impact restyling, or somebody wanted to spend some money having it done?
