Serviced today by my mate who looked after my M3, all BMW approved etc.

Had a few other bits fixed while he had it in at the ramp

333879 miles

- Oil Service, Mechanical Inspection and Diagnostics test
- Front Droplinks
- Front pad wear sensor which also needed a new body connector and a loom repair due to corrosion
- Missing/corroded heatshield fixings replaced
- Exhaust needed a hanger welded back on, Now rattle free
- Rear level sensor was removed, unseized and refitted
- Undertray had some missing fixtures replaced and refitted

Slight weep from the gearbox so cleaned that up and will keep an eye on it
Bit of a knock coming from a front arm that'll need replaced eventually, may just sling on some F80 arms for some more camber/castor though

Front dampers are done so need to get them ordered and the geo is off but I'll get that done at the same time. Monroe dampers are a fraction of the BMW ones and are the same damper.


Commented on how clean it was for the miles, underside doesn't show it at all. The other mechanic thought it said 33k miles at first

What a stunning backdrop to a handsome car, looks even better with a bit of purposeful road grime on it. I had wondered what would become of this car and I’m glad to see it’s remained in the PH family. You look to be continuing the same high level of maintenance that Waitey lavished. Looking forward to more updates.
