2008 e90, pricing input

I really like this car but it doesn't have service records, will need to get a PPI and I am going to call the shops on the carfax that serviced it to see if the rod bearings were ever done.

Jerez on black/fox red, red leather console so I'm guessing that's extended leather?
6MT, no idrive, adaptive headlights, sunroof, carbon trim on dash with red below it, no heated seats.
3 owners, clean carfax, no wrecks, was a lease car in California for a couple years before coming to Texas.

$24,9k

Things that stick out to me that indicate an enthusiast previous owner...
-Michelin Pilot SS in great shape
-paint matched reflectors on front bumper
-alcantara shift boot and e brake boot

Car looks good but a good detailing with some paint correction and ceramic coat would do wonders for it.

If PPI and test drive is good but no evidence the rod bearings have been done is $24,9k fair? I would plan on spending a couple grand to have the rod bearings done almost immediately.

I will be trading in a 2016 Fiesta ST towards it so any deduction in price will likely just be a shell game involving my trade but they have had the car for about a month so I'm anticipating a pretty fair trade deal.

Did you end up getting a PPI? Purchase it? Also curious if you got the good deal you were thinking you would get due to the listing being 30 days. It's all a game as you mentioned.

In my market that would be a fair price for a no-accident car with around 80k miles on it
