I'd advise anyone who wishes to take up BMX to buy something complete off ebay. Get something worth £200 to £300 new for £100 in good nick if you are patient. Cranks are the big thing to then upgrade IMHO and you want 48T splined, definitely not one piece and pref not 8 spline shit.
My BMX was spotless when I bought it second hand... I changed the grips for some I had lying around, stuck on a decent crankset, some pegs... job done. Some teenager clearly wanted to get into BMX but clearly gave up after riding to the shops once.
I'd build up what you have as cheap as possible if I were you, then get something a touch better / more modern.
