Main dealer serviced for first 5 years.
Thereafter I have had the following done work done for me:
Brake fluid changed Jun-23 (39,000 miles) main dealer
Front brake pads changed Jun-25 (45,000 miles) - trusted garage
Rear brake pads changed Jun-26 (62,000 miles) - trusted garage
I've done the following work myself:
7 x oil & filter changes since Jun-23 (every 4000-5000 miles) - Castrol EDGE LL 5W-30, MANN 712/95 filter.
Pollen filter replaced annually - MANN
Air filter replaced every 2 years - MANN or Febi
Spark plugs replaced Jun-25 (54,000 miles) - Bosch 0 241 145 525
Tyres are all OEM spec - Continental Contisport Contact 5. 215/40 R18 89W extra load. All 4 last replaced Oct-24 (at 48,000 miles)
Washed regularly, polished and waxed annually. Kept tidy & clean inside.
Kept outside, on driveway.
Always allowed the engine oil to get up to 50 degrees at least before using a decent amount of throttle. Always let idle after stopping for a minute or two after long journeys when the oil temp was over 90 degrees.
2 keys
Service book, receipts etc kept.
Over 62,000 miles and 8 years the only problem I have had (which was fixed by the main dealer) was a flickered interior bulb.
