Sent it in to my BMW technician Jun 2022. The following work has been done:
- Oil change using premium Millers oil 5W40
- Bosch Oil Filter

- Spark Plugs NGK x6
- Power steering fluid change
- Manual transmission oil change MTF Plus 75w90

- New side lights – Genuine BMW
- New seat bushes L+R
Technician checked over and concluded all good for at least another 20, 000 miles - bill for over £1, 700 for this comprehensive mechanical overhaul.
Lift the bonnet and it is extremely clean throughout. Spent much of life indoors and in a drier climate in Spain I believe.
Comprehensive service file, receipts, MOT history etc. Black leather owner’s manual.
Leather book pack, all keys.
