I see your not sure of the millage. If your odometer and trip odometer are TU, thats a common problem and when you get all the priority stuff fixed there is a fix for that. $500.00 was a good deal and even if you wind up spending money to get everything right you'll have a nice car with new replacement parts. Plus they are fun cars to work on because allot of the parts can be taken apart and fixed. It would be good to adjust the valves on the sooner side as they tend to get tighter if neglected. I had to replace the cam and lifters on my daughters 240D because of that. Your car has the hardened cam and lifters being post "80" but still would be a good thing to do if you can swing it.
