Right lads after a year of setbacks I've decided to get myself into either a 350Z or M3 by early summer..
Service history includes:
24/02/03 @ 10456 oil and filter - Michael McKeown Motors
06/01/04 @ 18367 oil and filter - Joe Duffy
01/11/06 @ 33514 oil and filter and inspection 1 - Joe Duffy
Bit of a gap in the history here but after a bit of internet stalking when I first bought the car I found a thread by the second owner which seemed to confirm the mileage, hopefully it was serviced a few times in that period too but who knows!
Next bit of history I have is:
10/03/12 @ 62007 oil and filter - Motor Confidence
17/11/12 @70500 inspection 1, rear stub bushes, rear top arm, front arm bushes, tracking - Motor Confidence
20/08/13 @80000 oil and filter, inspection 1, inspection 2, bodywork, front discs, front pads, rear pads - Motor Confidence
It was owned by Valdas at Motor Confidence for a few years up until early 2015 I think, who did a load of work some of which is documented here http://www.bmw-driver.net/forum/showthread.php?t=38276
I bought it June 2015 with just over 100k and did the following: oil and filter, air filter, replaced oil breather filter with newer vortex type, removed swirl flaps. Two new Rainsport3's on the front, changed the rears about 1k later but can't remember what brand need to check, possibly Khumo's.
Then at about 103k the lift pump in the fuel tank was changed along with the fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator, the fluid in the autobox was also done at this time.

Upgrades:
Full electric (non heated) M5 seats, these make the car imo.
Dynavin touchscreen, helps bring the interior up to date.
OEM BMW XID lights, proper self levelling kit.
Eisenmann exhaust.
Bad points:
Little bit of rust around the number plate lights, didn't notice this when I bought it but I've kept it touched up and is only visible when the boot is opened
Tiny little bubble on drivers door sill.
One of the rear parking sensors is playing up, I have a replacement just haven't go around to fitting it.
Paint is pretty good no dings, a few stone chips and a bit of road rash on the front bumper below the fog lights but its not very noticeable
I'll stick up pics of both of this stuff later on.
I mentioned in my thread that the handling was a bit wandery on some uneven surfaces when I first got the car, an alignment and tires sorted this at the time but it seems to be creeping back in again. Its only noticeable on straight stretches of road, but it either needs an alignment again or maybe a few bushes on the back I don't know.
That's about it, there's 105k on it now I think it's as well a sorted example as your likely to find with all the preventative maintenance done albeit with a few small issues.
Asking price €3500
