Purchased this car in January for $16,000. Was used for work but as I am focusing more on uni and have since left my job, I have no need for it as I am in walking distance to Uni.

I had the rotors and pads replaced as the rotors were glazed over, and had the pads replaced with GENUINE bmw rotors and pads at a cost of $398 - have reciept.(done 500km ago)

The interior of the car is in immaculate condition, still has the original first aid kit under passanger kit - unused

also has the optional tool kit in the boot. Also has a jack and spare wheel in the boot.

Log books are all in order.

Interior drivers seat as a slight wear and tear on the door side, but besides that, all seats look as if they have had hardly any use.

Wheels have been upgraded - 16's and the spare wheel the same as the ones on the car at the moment.

Brand new battery has been put in as old one was a struggling a bit.

Car has 151,000 on the clock. was purchased from a lady who used it as a commute car to the city from the hills since it was purchased (so the majority have been highway km's)

Since I have had it I have done 3,000km's so I dont really have any need for it anymore.

So my loss is your gain. Also I drive like a old lady so the car has never really gone above 3k RPM as I cant afford anything to break on it. It really is my pride and joy

Inspections are more than welcome, but test drives will only be permitted to people who are actually interested.

The utmost care has been taken in this car. It has just had its major 150,000km service with all fluids replaced and drained out.

Everything in the car works as if it had been driven out of the showroom yesterday

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If the tyres were fitted when new, I wouldn't expect much over 5 years of use. Especially if the car lives outside full time.  If the tyres had been stored under ideal conditions and are being purchased new, I'd fit a set of already 5 year old tyres if I only expected to get 1 to 2 years of use out of them.  I've purchased many a set of new (but quite old) tyres from St George Tyres when I just needed some decent rear tyres to drift on.  Here is a pretty crazy example, can't say I've ever bought 11 year old tyres from them before though lol.  https://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/momo-tyres-245-45-17-outrun-m3-official-product-by-momo-italy.html

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
