Description
I have owned this amazing car for the past 8 years. I was never meant to sell it, so no penny was spared on OEM parts.
Unfortunately, I am moving abroad and need it gone.
List of things replaced off the top of my head:
- BMW 19" OEM alloy wheels 313 style
- 4 new Yokohama tyres with a few hundred miles on them
- Gearbox rebuilt around 5k miles ago (1500)
- Brembo drilled and grooved discs 10k miles ago (400)
- 4 calipers rebuilt
- New steering rack put in literally 100 miles ago (450)
- OEM steering coupler
- The entire suspension was done about 10k miles ago (I mean everything!)
- 4 Eibach springs
- 4 Bilstein B4 shocks with the top mounts
- OEM centre and rear prop shaft bushes
- 4 OEM wheel bearings done 15k miles ago
- Hand brake rebuilt
- Rear diff oil and seals
- Brake pipes
- Entire Cooling system overhauled 2 years ago on OEM parts with brand new radiator and water pump (Running proper OEM blue coolant)
- New OEM thermostat with housing
- OEM fuel filters (both)
- All under the hood plastic and rubber parts were replaced about 5 years ago (incl. CCV)
- New set of NGK Iridium spark plugs
- New steering pump (not OEM because that was 500 and known to fail due to bad design. I bought a reinforced aftermarket version and it's been fine for 4 years now)
- OEM xenon high and low beam bulbs 2 years ago
- All the belts, tensioners and bearings
- New OEM starter motor and alternator about 3 years ago
- New battery put in a year ago (AGM as recommended)
- Oil changes every 6k miles or once a year with Liqui Molly engine flush and Motul fully synthetic oil for the past 40k miles (the engine runs smooth and quiet, you couldn't tell the milage at all!)
- The entire underbody was professionally sprayed twice, 7 and 2 years ago, so no rust
I probably missed some bits, so please ask away.
Bad points:
Last year Cat N (20 mph accident damage that insurance didn't bother fixing because the parts are not made anymore. Damaged parts are replaced - photo upon request).
Central locking started playing up last week. Passenger door won't open from the fob sometimes, but will lock every time. (I did some reading and it's a 13 quid relay in the comfort module that needs soldering).
Passenger headlight washer is leaking sometimes after use (Driver side was replaced last year with OEM BMW part, cost 33, so a cheap fix).
Good points:
Solid car, no rust, no knocks or bangs, no dashboard warning lights, really clean and looked after example.
Open to sensible offers.
