In the UK market it sits among premium enthusiast coupes, combining familiar BMW 1 Series proportions with a much more focused, muscular character. mycarcheck.com recorded 905 checks across 254 different VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this specialist model. Its average private-sale valuation was £47,300, while checked cars averaged 43,000 miles and around 1,000 miles a year; the typical record showed about three previous keepers.
