I would classify the current state as "good enough" but not 10/10
I can post pic's if needed, I took a few throughout the process.

Good work, and a bit of work too. Makes on wonder what other fluids the previous owners used in the system - sounds like you have a functional system, or very close to that.

Honestly not sure, it was sold at a local BMW dealer, carfax shows it was only serviced at that dealer, guy traded it in at a Kia dealership for a Telluride for the wife and that's when I got it(2nd owner). Who knows what Kia threw in there to top everything off.

Since then it's only been at another local dealer, I bought the $199 unlimited oil change for 3 years thing and that'll probably be the only time I step in there.

Diy'd the charge pipe when it blew on day 3 of ownership.
Have some BMW fluid on order, it's cheap but shipping not so much... Anyone know if you can buy it at the parts counter?

Excellent thought

Still not a sticky, obviously the mods care more about pretty wheel pictures than people that actually work on their vehicles.
