The car had around 26xxxx km / 161xxx miles on the odometer when I bought it, and it's currently sitting at around 28xxxx km / 17xxxx miles.
I've had to replace a front right wishbone and the AC condenser. And aside from regular maintenance, I've had to get a wheel alignment done. This car had a very impressive service history record when I got it, and it was clearly taken care of by the previous owners in terms of general upkeep. I'm super happy about having a very torque:y daily, especially with tow capabilites and the xDrive system which makes sending it at red lights super fun, both in the summer and winter.

All in all, I'm super happy I waited for the correct spec car that I wanted instead of buying a cheaper one and retrofitting a bunch of stuff. All things considered, these are some rather minor mods - but when mixed together they really make the car something else.
