You bought from EAG and you have to do all those maintenance??? I was under the impression the premium they were asking was for their rejuvination program...

Nostalgia bug bit me as I recently picked up an EAG sourced, four-digit miles, 6-speed w/ pristine ownership history. I'm no Mr Money Bags, but I do plan on actually piling on 5K miles per year as a pure pleasure vehicle with zero hesitation. Right off the bat, I'm modifying it with all new parts: KW V3s, BBS LMs, Eisenmann 76s, full Vorsteiner CSL kit and Xpel PPF. I'm certainly stashing the stock bits.

To baseline, all fluids will be new. Though not needed, I'm also refreshing the RTABs, engine mounts, transmission mount, VANOS, fan clutch, fan blades and some known leaky rubber bits like the engine oil pan gasket, etc. I'll be removing the CDV as I couldn't stand it when I had my 2004 bought new eons ago.

If I keep it long enough, I'll look at preemptively reinforcing the subframe mounting points. I'm guessing I'm pretty far off from cracking open the S54 to service the rod bearings. Engine oil will be changed every 3K with no maintenance expenses spared. Just gotta keep the shiny side up.

Great to be here!

These "buy the odometer, get a nice color combo car for free" deals are interesting to me. But something about a fool and their money + bragging rights. That equation nets out the same backwards and forwards.

At 5k miles a year or less, you'll be forever wearing out these 300k mile cars. It wasn't EAG (who I did visit and drove one of theirs -- overpriced as you'd imagine) but Active Autowerke who taught me that lesson as I was driving they're 250k mile demo car and it felt basically new. Right then I decided I'd probably never need to sell this car. 15 years later it has 30k more miles on it and drives better now than when I bought it still under factory extended warranty.

Why pay extra for more when you can't use it all anyway?
