NOW SOLD
Having bought RedZed recently, my previous daily driver now has to go. I hung on as long as possible, but the wife's still not letting me keep it :wink: . This would make someone a good, reliable, cheap to run & maintain daily driver with a nice bit of performance to stop the commute getting boring

2008 - present - Annual services done by a talented motor engineer (& best mate) regardless of mileage, usually a lot sooner than indicated. Included all filters; fuel, oil, air & pollen every time. Oil used 5W/30 fully synthetic. Each time brakes stripped, cleaned, greased & reassembled. As the parts and oil were obtained through *cough* company discount *cough* there is no paperwork to back this up, but it's self evident on starting the car. The aforementioned mate has an '03 330D with 50k less miles & he says mine sounds better
