Ok, I think I give up
After only 5 months, I think I give up on my 2002 R53 Cooper S with Full Aero Kit.

I know I am not getting my money back, but I figure it is worth a little more than I originally purchased it for. I don't have the time for the little things on the car and just need to be able to get to work with it.

BMW Peabody Dealer Work for Oil Leaks $2k of work:
Valve Cover Seal
Oil Pan
Crank Sensor Seal


I have all receipts for work done for Greasy's as well as Work done from Dealer.

I am sure I missed some small things.

Greasy's is 1 year parts and labor warranty
BMW is 2 years I believe.

 

Personally, I wouldn't get rid of it. You've put so much into it already and I doubt you'll get much more than what you paid for even though you've put a lot into it.

 

Thanks, I got the car for 6k, thinking I would put 3k into it, but you know how that goes!

I don't have the time to work on cars like I used to, and Greasy's is 1 hour away from me, and I don't have the time to go that route either.

The only good thing is I do have another car to use if need be, but I am stuck in a lot of stop and go traffic since I work in Boston and it is not like it is ever easy to pull over when you are on surface roads without creating a huge mess Last time the car nearly broke (near overheating 2nd, time) down I got plenty of fingers for the jam I created and some of those people looked like they wanted to stab me

 

At this point, it looks like you took care of everything that could possibly go wrong with the car. On the other hand, it looks like you got an excellent deal on it though so you might be able to get close to what you've put in it.

 

Thanks, yeah I looked at other listings on the market place and I see that same year cars with similar specs are having 15k or so asking price. So I wonder if 11k would be a fair price or not considering the mileage.
