Oil changed every 3-4000 miles. Previous owner was 68 and could no longer get in and out easily so he sold it. So far it's been a great car. IMS bearing never changed. From my research it should have a double row bearing. Car was made in April 1999. Here's the engine serial number: M96/2065X17111. Can any of you decode this number for me? Build date? Double row bearing? Production number? Any info would be appreciated. I'm sure I'll have many more questions in the future. Thank you.

sounds beautiful! pictures?
