The car is pretty faultless.

Wow, thats absolutely love for the money. Not much to look out for - it should feel perfect. If there is anything wrong or which doesnt feel right do not let the seller tell you its due to age/the fact its used/whatever - it should feel perfect.

It will need a new radiator at some point though, all M54 radiators explode at about 6-7 years old.

Looks tidy but there are plenty about at that price.

It's an E39 BTW.
