A few weeks later while taking photos for BAT I noticed the odometer had not changed. The car was brought to Bavarian Workshop and odometer gear replaced on 06/30/22. Prior to smog check, the last documented odometer reading was taken by Bavarian Workshop on 04/21/21 with 186,662 miles. Over the course of last year, the car was driven on 1-2 times per month, or best guess around 400km total. The odometer is back in working order and a best guess for true mileage is current mileage (187,079km) + 400km. \r\n\r\nRecords \u2013 The car comes with voluminous hard copy service records, parts orders, and an excel file showing expenses dating back to 1995. I do not have any importation paperwork.\r\n\r\nTires \u2013 The tires have good tread left but are indeed old and should be replaced.\r\n\r\nCare \u2013 The car has been owned and maintained by some true enthusiasts (EAG, Bavarian Workshop, etc.). Bavarian Workshop has maintained the car during my ownership. \r\n\r\nThank you and here to answer questions,\r\nJ", "likes": 5, "timestamp": 1658279193, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9074676, "authorName": "nuz7", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/nuz7/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Sweet ride.
