Title says it. Sadly my third beast has to go. Hopefully I will be able to rejoin the ranks in not too long
2006 Silverstone II / Black Full Leather SMG E60 M5
All options except fold down seats I believe. It has HUD, Ventilated seats, Heated rear seats, Comfort Access, Sirius, iPod interface, etc etc. Probably other stuff that I've forgotten as well.
60,xxx miles
2nd owner, bought used in 5/08 from a BMW dealership (not CPO) with 32,000 miles
All highway miles, long commute
Maintained only at BMW dealers
New CCC module ($3,000+) in the last few months under warranty
These are the mods it has on it right now:
Forgestar F14 19x9 and 19x11 wheels on Nitto Invo 275/35-19 and 305/30-19. These tires have never rubbed even with the lowered suspension. I'm pretty sure they're about as big as you can go on 19s, if not they're very close.
H&R springs
RPI Pulley
RPI Scoops
Rogue Engineering Exhaust
$41k with the mods.
The only things probably worth parting out would be the wheels and exhaust, because the cost to switch out the springs and pulley would outweigh the possible value. The exhaust and wheels would have to be in exchange for stock parts. I do not have my originals.
Taking offers on the car with or without mods. The wheels and tires cost just under $3k and the exhaust was $1,700.
For parting out, make me an offer on the wheels and/or exhaust including your stock parts. Wheels would need to be without bends or major curb damage and with more than 50% tread on OEM Michelin or Continental tires.

That's HORRIBLE to hear, good luck with getting back on your feet and with the sale (hopefully you can get a new job BEFORE the car sells). It is a beautiful car for a great price.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your job and your need to see your beast.
Best wishes in finding a new and better job and a newer and even better beast soon. I hope your beast, which looks stunning, sells fast.

Sorry to hear about the job, Alaris. Hope the search for a new one goes well, as do your efforts to offload the beastie (although I can only imagine what pain that parting would be).
