Description
I've owned this car since Feb 2022 and have 'invested' nearly 10,000 pounds, mostly on maintenance, in that time. This includes replacement of the rod bearings and throttle actuators, as well as the wheel speed sensors and idle control valve. I have every receipt, and a tonne of other receipts from previous owners. I have spared absolutely no expense - the slightest issue, and it goes to BMW. The F1 HUH that you can see in a couple of images has now been removed.
There are a couple of small stone chips on the bonnet as well as a couple of scratches on the left rear quarter (see pics).
The car is always warmed up, never washed with a sponge and rarely driven in the wet (I have a daily).
