Best of luck with this Alex, you seem to be getting your unfair amount of bad luck.

The cracked wheels might not have been spotted on the mot. My car passed earlier this year with a cracked alloy, it can be difficult to spot without the tyre off the rim. It could have been an honest mistake, just sayin...

You have been bummed mate. That guy will have known there were problems with the vehicle, looks like its had a hard life that car. The wheel weld made me wince, and those cracks would have been spotted, I take my previous comment back.
Preparing my mail now. 
Shall we open a book on the responses?
I'm going for no reply.

One of our mail exchanges, I received this;
"The car is available. Everything is present and correct on the car, all in working order with no faults. We've just had it serviced at a local BMW specialist who have given it a clean bill of health. It's MOT is due next week and we have it booked in to have that done so will come with a full year for the new owner.
Cosmetically the car is in very good shape for a 10 year old example with only small, minor surface scratches here and there. Nothing that would justify any paintwork needed. Alloy wheels are in good shape and all 4 tyres are brand new."
The sale of goods act states "You are entitled to expect that the vehicle is 'as described’."
Original sales blurb;
"330i MSport With Sat Nav in fantastic condition. Full main dealer and specialist service history. Just had major service inc new brakes and 4 new Bridgestone tyres. "
I don't fully know what I can get out of this but it's worth trying.

Wheels are common for cracking like Audi 18"

Well...I have a reply.
Lots of mitigation, not me your honour...ends with him saying I'll ask the trouser wearer as I think you've got a point.
"I will discuss this with my wife this evening. She may be willing to contribute to some of the costs as a show of goodwill. I'll come back to you once I've had the chance to talk this through with her."

BTW he totally coughs to it having an oil leak and part worn tyres...and he knew about the weld on the wheels.

See what happens Alex... contribution to the rims, attend to the seals and a proportionate contribution to the water pump I'd say.
