Looks good, it appears that all tires were replaced at 28K which is also good. That was my only question when I saw it... close the loop with us once you get it.

Congratulations! Identical spec to mine.

My recommendation is to ask the dealership to perform the following if it hasn't already been done at that mileage.

Engine air filter
Cabin air filter
Brake fluid flush
Spark Plugs

Thats all that comes to mind that is required at this point. I did most of that myself only because i hate having techs touch my car unless I absolutely have to.

Also would be nice to have it delivered to a reputable detailer to have it paint corrected and ceramic coated before you take delivery. I've been told that my car looks indistinguishable from a new car inside and out which is not bad considering its 3.5 years old

My other option was getting a new X3M only because the S58 (really the B58) has proven reliability?

X3M and X5M drives VERY differently so something to keep in mind.

This is the last iteration of the S63 which has numerous changes throughout the years. They seem more reliable than the older N63/S63 variants which had a ton of issues early on. It all comes down to the previous owner and how they took care of it. I would avoid any that has been tuned or has any signs that it was. People tune the car to the moon in these cars then complain when their motor popped and blame it on poor reliability.

That’s a good idea to take it to get those services done. I’ll look into that when it gets here.

For the detailing, I’ve detailed as a hobby since before I could drive. Which is also the reason I’m so nervous buying a car sight unseen.

Side note, the car was picked up today and should be here by middle of next week!

Yes! It finally arrived on Wednesday which is also when the exhaust and intake arrived.

I spent the first day enjoying it and then wrenched on it Thursday.

I don’t have may pics of it yet since it needs a full detail. Here’s a pic of the side with the two wheels I got cleaned up and ceramic coated.

Post more pics when you get it ready to show off. I missed the dealer site link so share the full details too. Thanks!

I was worried about engine longevity and purchased a Fidelity extended warranty. If the car has under25k miles they seem pretty reasonably priced.

I test drove the X3 and it was really nice but felt smaller inside and rode even rougher. My thought is you can’t go wrong with either.
