Bought 2nd owner in 2009 from a college student who couldn't afford the maintenance. I now usually spend per year to maintain my R53, what it originally cost to buy. It's toured cross-country multiple times. Approaching 200K miles.
Upgraded the OEM Bilstein suspension for fully adjustable Bilstein B16's!! It will one day be an autocross weapon. For now, we have it set to stanced and comfort damping.
