Here's my first Blackstone Report.
2008 with just over 60,000 miles now.
Original rod bearings.
The car was parked for 4 years before I bought it in August of 2018, but didn't get it drivable until the following November.
Bought it from a friend who is the original owner.
It had just over 42,000 miles when I bought it.
Original owner never tracked, always warmed up, but not babied.
Has had a G-Power blower since the 6000 mile mark, so that's 54,000 miles with the blower.
The car was well maintained and was on a yearly oil change schedule at the local BMW dealership.
When I bought it, I switched it from the oil (TWS 10w60) that the dealership was using, to LiquiMoly 10w60 on a recommendation from a local BMW specialty shop.
I change the oil myself at 5000ish miles, but more often if there are track days involved.
I always let the idle calm down after starting it, usually sit in the driveway for a few minutes, never over 3000rpm until fully warm, always drive in M mode (Power/EDC comfort/DSC off).
California car, so 91 octane Chevron, sometimes Shell.
