Welcome and congrats on the purchase! The car appears well cared for, specifically the paint looks tremendous with over 100k miles on the clock
One question I had with your service items is the RB service performed @103k. It's a service I will need to do in the future, and every quote I have received always included replacing the motor mounts, because the OEM's always fail and it's easy to replace them with RB service. Any idea why they didn't replace the MM with RB service?
I am also interested to see if you end up updating to the Bilstein B16's that are EDC compatible. I am looking to make OEM+ type upgrades to my car, and I have heard good reviews on the B16's.
Congrats again and good luck with mods/upgrades!

Melbourne red over bamboo

DCT
EDC
Miles at possession are at 116k
Couple things that are done to the car:
- monoball thrust bushings
- Active Autowerke cat delete pipes
- Dinan springs with supplemental ride quality kit
- Rod bearings done by Eurotech Motors @ 103k
- Unknown if TA's have been done
- Valve cover gaskets replaced @ 105k
Goals at the moment are to make sure that I make sure maintenance is taken care of due to the miles on the unit.
Ordered a new air filter, oil change kit (plan to send to Blackstone as well as I have a sample kit to send them), motor mounts as well.
Will probably end up going with Bilstein B16 that is EDC compatible.
Anyway, thanks for welcoming me to the community, I've actually been a forum member for some time. I am sure I will have plenty of questions/ask for recommendations as I go, especially maintenance related. I'll also start to get more pics up on my IG account as well @jrrineha
