It's the honest sellers reward, when I was selling my 07 WRX, I've described everything and I've provided all of receipts sorted by year, following with the inspection at the buyers choice mechanic. After the inspection, the buyer said that he is buying the car without any negotiation. We are friends to this day and he is consulting with me for the maintenance of the car :)

Very cool - two nearly identical cars from two completely different countries - one from bella Italia and one from beautiful Sweden. One from southern Europe and one from northern Europe and they meet in the middle of Europe. Both finished in let's call it 'Europe blue'. Hell let's hum the European anthem! :-D

I have an 00 M5 and have done all the work myself in my garage. That includes valve cover gaskets, fuel pump, replaced the ABS module and manifold/pump, replaced the purge valve (deep under the intake manifold, differential bushings, front and rear control arms, bushings and ball joints, thermostat, rebuilt the sunroof which involved removing the entire cassette, E60 545 shifter with UUC selector rod, euro xenon headlights....lots of other misc things. It's crazy when I actually list all of that off. It's a lot of satisfying work. The crappiest job was easily pulling the differential out to do the bushings. I had to buy a very expensive special tool and the rear end is extremely heavy and awkward. I also have a 97 M3 that I recently replaced the engine and clutch along with a lot of other work. Definitely a labor of love. My E90 335xi sits collecting dust as I love my M cars and prefer to drive them.
