Sadly, it’s time to part with my E92 335i M-Sport. She currently sits on 85k miles (mileage will rise very slightly). Lower tax band £360 for the year.
Throughout my ownership spanning 17k miles I’ve spent £10K+ on maintenance and upgrades alone. I have a folder of invoices & receipts for work done during my ownership.
Most work was done at independent BMW specialist, Garage786 in Leicester. Some work was done by PMP works in Nuneaton (N54 specialist) and Turbocharger replacement was done in December 2020 by BMW Sytner Leicester under extended warranty. The car has only been run on Shell V-Power/ Esso Synergy (mapped to 99RON).

Just had a full major service & MOT done (December 2022) - Oil Change, Brake pads, Brake fluid, Pollen filter, fresh set of 1-step colder plugs. Also had the xenon full beam bulbs replaced for the headlights.
Definitely a car that can do both the daily trips and the occasional spirited hoon.
Located in Leicester, close to the M1.
