2006 Z4 M Roadster ESS VT2-500 must go. The kit was installed new last summer. Car has 19,000 miles and will let it go for $32,000 or possible part out for kit if offer is right price. The car is in excellent condition, premium package, nav, power everything. The VT2-500 makes this car very fast

. The car is perfect! I just need to unload debt for dream home purchase.

Hi Beedub...sorry about not getting pics sent of intercooler. I actually did pull the bumper off to get the pics for you, but it was a project over my head once the bumper was off. The piping is seriously hidden, tucked, and a major pain the arse to get to. I may have to sell the kit as a whole in order to make this work. I would prefer to sell the car as a whole because I'm not sure I want to attempt pulling this off myself. Not sure what it would cost to hire talent for the removal.

ZStig · 01-13-2011, 01:04 PM

you could prolly get $6k for the kit, and then sell the car seperately

Thanks... I hope so. This really is a great price considering the kit retails for $10,995 excluding tax and logistics. If anyone has concerns about the car, I'm sure Roman at ESS wouldn't mind giving his impression of this vehicle's performance while being put through the ringer. This was the car used for proto-type testing of the kit.

My main concern is the cost of removing the kit and then bringing it back to stock. I'm not exactly the most talented mechanic

ZStig · 01-13-2011, 01:22 PM

yeah you'll have to shell out close to $1k for the removal :/

I wish I was in the market. If I were you, don't drop the price any longer. Its a specialty vehicle that just needs the right buyer. Spread out advertising to cars.com, craigslist, autotrader.com, ebay, and maybe even the paper

Beedub · 01-13-2011, 01:24 PM

fr7tdog i personally REALLY wouldnt want to remove the kit and sell the car sperately, hold out and sell the car as a whole, its way to much hastle and god knows what will break when replacing the stock parts, its always the way with cars as well all know!!
when i sell my car it will be as a whole.... no matter how long it takes ;-)

I know, I'm having trouble understanding why it won't sell

It's been on Ebay for a couple months with no luck. I originally listed at $39,000 because I was a proud father, then dropped to $36,000...then $34,000 and now my rock bottom price of $32,000 for a very very! lucky future owner. This is a definite give away to unload my books!! just no one is willing to fork out the cash

The car really is in flawless condition and my God! is it FAST! If you guys know anyone that may be interested... please pass the word. Thanks

johanness · 01-14-2011, 11:27 PM

I wish this was available a few months back. What color btw?

it took me 4 tries on ebay to sell my viper, on the last try, I put it up with no reserve and got 2k more than asking price. just gotta find the right buyer, and sometimes lowering the price isn't even appropriate. If I was in the market for a blown z4m, I'd jump on it

Thanks for the encouragement. Definitely need the right buyer as most BMW drivers aren't really geared to think supercharged or turbo mods.... I think?

I have 40 watchers on this car compared to 16 last time...so maybe something will happen this time around.

Geez, I feel really bad for this car

How much are you looking for (in total) in order to part out the kit? What's "the right price"?
Is it even possible to swap ECU's between two different cars? Doesn't the ECU pertain to individual VIN's?

Endless619 · 01-18-2011, 02:55 AM

If I would have known like 4 months ago I would have bought yours. This is a steal and super fast I am sure...

GLWS...

ZeD4Mr · 01-18-2011, 02:29 PM

Just like many recently came on board, I wish it was available a few months ago when I was looking.

IMO, if you get rid of the bottle and A-pillar gauges, you might get more hits from those who prefer factory interior/stock looking car. just my 0.2

GLWS.
