Six blurry photos, that will build confidence!
The Okanagan is probably the best place in BC (or Canada) for a classic car like this to live - so there is potential for it to be relatively rot free. The key word is potential.
Saying this, with those pics and info I wouldn't bother even looking...

The last picture with a pail under the car is the puzzling one. Were the pictures taken
while the oil was being drained?
The car seems to sit straight in a nice garage.

Miles driven appear to be very low assuming the odometer hasn't rolled. If I were nearby I would take a look (despite the absence of good pics).

For what its worth, the seller works for BMW. He fails to mention that...
Oh, and that he is in the UK too.

I've reached out to this guy twice but no response from him so far.

Done deal!!!
It took some serious persistence and diligence to track this guy down, international calls to Canada and UK, additional photos (under coating was a little scary for me), arrange for inspections (plural), negotiate price, how to exchange of monies, how to exchange title/car, etc. but it all worked out amazingly.
It is a true 35K mile survivor! It is extremely dry. It needs a number of little things from lack of use (leaks, tires, bushings, gaskets, etc.), but very very solid indeed. I’ll post pictures to Picasa soon and link them here. I’ll believe it should earn mostly positive feedback.
The only rub is that I planned on modifying whatever car I bought, but this one may be too good to hack on, so it might be up for sale again shortly. I may not even register it as I would be the 3rd owner. Ah well, it’s a good problem to have.

Should I wait to enter the car in the registry to get it on record or should I wait to see if I'm going to keep and register in my name? ...not sure what the proper etiquette is.
Enter it as Seen in Ad, we can change it later if needed.
