05 2.0 Is service history suspect? - mak
Hi all,
Looking to buy 2005/55 320D se with 61k miles with 1 previous owner before present.
I am worried about the reply to my question about service history, as follows

"Since I have had the car, I did a yearly service.
I did not follow BMW's recommended service plan.
I felt there was no need and was a bit time
consuming and costly to follow their service plan."

I am now in two moods, head & heart, with my head saying beware due to past problems with turbo, but as it has had a yearly service would this be OK?

Any advise much appreciated.
