Lucky indeed!
Welcome to the club. Have fun humiliating Mustang owners
Best advice is to stay on top of needed maintenance....don't forget that you bought a $90k German luxury performance sedan.

Thanks. The others I looked at were all around 19k. But this one was close in condition and 4k less. It's going to take a while to learn everything

Judging by your screen name you probably can turn a wrench
Start by getting a star diagnostic tool (do a search to figure out which member to get that from
Then change ALL THE FLUIDS. Check for rear main seal and valve cover leaks.
Check the motor and trans mounts...probably need changed as the don't last long with our torque.
Do the "sneaky ecu reset" and make sure the boost is not falling off up top..sign of a defective IC pump. But most have been updated at this point.
Lots of fantastic info out there.
Won't be long before you start modding...the power is addictive.
While it has gotten much better in the last couple of years, don't expect LS price points on mods and maintenance.

Also I would expect a 90k car to whoop *** on a 35k car...

Nice! Congrats. first things check the intake air temp/ic pump. very important. If and when you do engine and trans mount i recommend installing the w212 E63 trans mount. its solid and it fits right in no modification needed. Have fun.

Well went over everything close. The car is bone stock even the air filters. It was a 1 owner car so he didn't do mods. Still hard to believe.. It's a good thing though.
