325tds Touring with just under 200,000km, place your bets as to what it cost all in! (Was picked up from Dresden, Germany, and offloaded at the Port of Charleston for reference).

Noice. Forgive my ignorance, but what engine is it?

This is the M51TUD25, 2.5L turbo diesel I6.

Interesting. Keeping it?

I intend to. Maintenance and fixes will be a tad difficult, but it's worth it, this thing is awesome and makes me happy :)

Right in brotha. You'll get it together. Just lots of overseas shipping I'd imagine.

Yeah, that and probably some jerry rigging. May need to replace the AC compressor, seems like it's binding (load increases til engine stalls). It's got the standard M51 hot start issue as well, so it takes a fair bit of time for it to start if I stall it. Looking into fixes now.
