Thanks, I am going to take it to Autowest BMW for a PPI since I am very close with the SAs there. The car was originally bought from Brian Jessel in as a 2009 model. It has warranty and the Dinan intake, ecu, as well as Akrapovic exhaust done and certified by Brian Jessel. Currently at 18,500km.

I've taken the car for a drive on saturday and it felt perfect. I am just worried about somethings I might have missed or unaware of.

Would the inspection at BMW be able to tell me if the engine was broken in properly, red line, launch control use and things like that?

Wish me good luck!

However, I strongly recommend that a BMW pre-sale inspection be made it will be around $150- money well spend then make it clear to the BMW SA that you plan to purchase the car and have it serviced there ,,, they will tell you then whatever may need to be done in the near future.

It will do two things for you A) give you bargaining power on the sale price and B) let you know if anything major is in the cards for you as time moves on.

As for fuel consumption ... it all depends how you drive ... normal highway driving (10 to 15 KM above posted) you can expect around 10.5 to 11L/100 KM.

Good luck
