After looking of the car, this car turned out to be relatively unique and just met the requirements. Yes, there was going to be some maintenance issues, but that's the fun of used cars.
Here's the car finally in the driveway.
The folks here at PP helped me in determining the factory specs and options that came with the BMW, which include: M-Sport Package, M-Sport Suspension, N51 Engine, Xenon Lights, Sport Seats, Sport wheels, Harmon/Karmon sound system.
A couple of short drives in the neighborhood and it's time to start the maintenance.
An initial list:
- New tires
- Repair rims
- New brakes (pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, etc.)
- New shocks, bushings, mounts, etc.
- Both cabin filters
- Change engine oil
- Change tranny oil
- New radiator fluid
- Recondition seats
- Service convertible top and its seals
This list is likely to grow.
