    SOS warning light will be the backup battery that has gone flat costs around £50 for the part if its a BMW and sits under the headlining at the rear you can get to it by dropping the headlining slightly and fit it yourself.we use to fit loads at BMW.

    Yep, SOS light will be the battery which has a lifespan of about 4-5yrs. Mine went last year on 2019 530d estate, luckily covered by warranty. (Lots of online videos showing how to do without having to pull down the whole headliner)

    Staggering that someone is selling an Emira without even getting past the run in period. Trust me it absolutely comes alive over 4k revs. Make sure that the aircon works and that there are no paint bubbles on the doors (most common faults and fixed under warranty). It is, in my opinion, one of the best looking cars on the road and a stunning, stunning drive. Good luck with the sale.

    I used to work for customs and excise for my sins and the only person that managed to buy a supercar (from memory it was an Aston Martin) and claim it as a business expense and claim his Vat back on the purchase was an electrician who dealt with high net worth individuals. He argued or rather his accountants argued successfully at tribunal that he had to a posh car because to turn up at some of these places in anything else just wouldn't do.....this was over 20 years ago though!
