Congrats Mike, looks a nice vehicle, low km and my favourite colour. However, I'd suggest a NRMA or auto transmission place do in inspection. The GM tranny is the weak point on the RR td6 and the X5 I've read. I'd also suggest a tranny service asap. With those km it should be fine.

Finally look at the owner contribution & insurer limits on the 3 year warranty. I have seen some shockers, eg $1000 limit on tranny or motor repairs for vehicles over certain age or km. On a +ve note any contribution is helpful if something goes wrong.

Mosman is in Sydney.

I hope yours is from Sydney!

Sounds the same.

I am not trying to be negative but only to inform.

AFAIK almost all L322 BMW diesels GM transmissions fail before 150,000Km.
The repair cost is $7K to 9K.
There are lots of posts here that detail the problems.
So if you got the car for a good price which factored in the cost then enjoy it. If you can extend the warranty do so IMHO.

Yes I upped the warranty to the highest level covers up to $5 k for the tyranny etc. drove it this morning goes very well everything works. Lots of dog hair but hasn't ben detailed yet. No dents or scratches underneath the body so no serious off road. Graeme Cooper had been servicing it but I wil get the tranny oil changed and serviced.
