Any success story for early s80 t6?

I am in need of encouragement. In January I bought a 2000 s80 t6 with 126000 miles on it. A beautiful car. Paid 4800 out the door tax, etc. I have relied heavily on this web site for guidance and have been doing alot of work on the car. Most recently had the transmission rebuilt. Are there any owners out there that are still enjoying their S80 and if so who has the high miles to brag about....just so I can look forward to what may come. Thanks!

Drive it like it doesn't have a turbo, don't tow anything except really light dry grass loads, replace trans fluid regularly and get a Vida/Dice to reset the common module communication faults and you just may enjoy your S80 experience.

Thank you....I drive it easy....tempted of course when a badass car is next to me at a red light, but being a 50 year old granny I restrain! Have taken it to dealer twice in the 4 months I have had it and had them update and diagnosis any issue as should. Since the new tranny it has been an absolute pleasure to drive!
