I do all my own maintenance on my S54, so just curious. Will be adjusting my valves next. Looking at shim kits.

Thanks!
I'm sure there are many owners more than capable of servicing an S54, but if I was buying an M I wouldn't have any way of knowing how competent the seller or previous owners were.

Well done. If I had spotted it before the sale, I would have likely have been bidding against you. Lovely looking ///MR at a good price.

Just spotted my old ///MR was MoT'd 28/03/23. So it is out there again, after being written off, by the insurance. If any one spots it being sold or back on the road I would be interested to know. :wink:

91K Interlagos Blue Coupe. Poor advert admittedly but recent clean MOT & paintwork supposedly in "amazing" condition. Wheels are CSL Style, M badges removed & Remus rear silencers over OEM. Surely this is too cheap, 7.8k? Lots of classified listings on their eBay profile so unsure if legit.

Mr Tidy,

Yep, I get it! Usually I look for 1 owner cars that someone has not messed with. However, my M had 3 previous owners, but the guy had spent something like $8k fixing it up and had receipts for much of the minor mechanical work. All new emblems and the like.

I do all my own work because I'm too picky and have never had a good experience taking any of my cars for repairs, even at the dealers.

Yep, stealers alright! Not all, but enough! People always ask me where they should take their car, I don't really know since I do my own work... You hate to mention a place and then they have bad luck there... :fuelfire:

But while I could live with owner servicing for an N52 engine, I just wouldn't for an S54!

And that's the problem - at some point you'll need to sell it and get into this same debate.

Still I'd give it a miss for being silver with black interior anyway!

I had silver cars for way too long. :(

It won’t be long before I’ll be doing all my maintenance. I’ll have an inspection 2 done this year but for how much longer you have to ask what it’s worth getting a stamp.
