A Farewell :-(

[e30mpower]

So after years of semi-faithful service, the X was traded last night on a 535i (with 100k warranty!). It heads to auction Monday in Charlotte, if anyone is fortunate enough to get it. Of course, I left all service records and a personal note in the glovebox for the next owner. But just in case that note goes missing... Hopefully Google caches this post and the new owner searches the VIN...

New Owner of 5UXFA53533LV80809:

Please take care of my old boy. He likes about a quart of oil every 2k miles. Castrol 5w30. His left headlight ballast can get wonky sometimes. Give it a rest and in about an hour it'll come back to life. Do not turn the drivers side heated seat on past one light, it WILL burn the leather (and you). He loves tires. One set every 20-25k. Preferably Michelin Primacy MXV4s. The tranny HATES cold weather, so let it warm up before heading to work on a cold morning. I'm leaving the Sirius active for a few months, because I'm a nice person. The headlight washers are blocked off at the pump due to a leak somewhere in the bumper, that is why they don't work.

Lastly-- if you ever have any questions, please contact me (I left my phone number and old registration cards in the owners manual). Please remind my boy I'll miss him, he'll always be in my heart.
