Description
Reluctant sale of my 325d M57 due to car upsizing needed.
I bought this car in April 2024, and I have since gone through it with a fine-tooth combe to ensure it is mechanically perfect. It's service history prior to my ownership is mostly unknown but I was assured that the previous owners did complete regular servicing (worthless I know).
Since I bought the car, I have completed, documented and spent thousands in general and preventative maintenance. All available on a Google sheet with receipt images, description of work and mileage. I am a little obsessive about my cars:

And more.
I have two new TRW brake hoses that will be provided with the car for the last MOT advisory, the rear bulb has been replaced already.
There are some age-related marks that I have tried to capture in the photos, to be expected at this age and mileage. You will not find a better mechanical example for this price though.
Completely fault free, I have ISTA and I am more than happy to scan it on site during the inspection.
