Afternoon all, i found a link to this site from Detailing world so thought i'd join up.

I recently purchased my car through the company I work for, it was one of our Engineers cars from New and he's just got a new F10 520D to replace it.

The car is a 520D M-Sport, DMS Remapped and i'm really happy with it so far! It's got the Logic 7 stereo upgrade which has really impressed me!

It actually has 137k on the clock with full BMW History (literally everything) but had a brand new engine at 101k under warranty with BMW when the Oil seals failed on the Turbo! When the engine was changed they put a new clutch, flywheel. The car has also just had a new DPF fitted at 120k along with 4 x recent Conti Sport contact 3's so it has been very well looked after, just the expected stone chips on the bonnet and front bumper but i'm going to get these sorted.

Wheels also need a refurb but it cleaned up well, i gave it a quick enhancement Detail recently to remove the swirls and some of the deeper scratches but still need to do a few bits.

Here's some pics
