    FinanceGuy's Maintenance thread -- 04 imola

    So I got my hands on an 04 Imola ZHP 6MT 101,200 miles

    I do not know of any previous maintenance at this time, and assume everything needs to be replaced.

    As it sits now the headlight lens need to be replaced. I'm going to try to polish them just to buy some extra time.

    Does anyone know how to repair the ash tray cover? It won't stay closed.

    I would add an oil change to your upcoming list just to cover the essential bases for fluids. (I use BMW 5W-30, but check out the oil threads on here for further info/opinions). As per DW's "for the new guy" thread:

    Good thought. I was "told" that the oil was just changed about 1,000 miles ago. I do normally change the oil in any car I get, just to be sure. I however, won't be doing the oil change. I HATE changing oil. My catch pan is a little too small, so I always spill, then I have to clean, and dispose of 7qts of oil. I normally pay my indy $100- he uses Castrol full synthetic oil. PLUS, it keeps me in his good graces, so when something does arise, he is there to help me out. I consider this the price of an indy on stand-by.

    Everything on the first pass was just order through amazon affiliate link. It has been a productive day.

    Thanks Shawn. I am as well. Mostly I'm impressed my wife let me buy the car while still having this 540i. First drive to work today went swimmingly well.
