Maintenance... Garage kept at 30k miles...

Basically Nothing. Maybe dry/cracking rubber, but the car wasn't stored in death valley so I doubt that will be a problem.

I'd put fresh motor oil in and run a tank of fuel through it on the highway and mountains. A good long hot drive cycle dry all the other fluids and see how it runs.

Most of the maintenance problems on e9x are various plastics and rubber parts that fail from heat cycling. In a garage at 30k... there aren't any heat cycles.

For reference I have a 2006 325xi wagon with a manual, it's at 360k miles. It's had plenty of repairs, but a lot more of mine dates back to Munich than you would expect. That thing will go a long time.

--------------edit

That car is a find.

I'll overpay for any e9x 325xi with an MT and super low milage. Just park it until I need it. Love the wagon but I don't know if I have the bandwidth for an engine swap, subframectomey, and the other creeping malfunctions of a 400k mile car.

I want another one for every day driving for the next 10+ years.
