All service records. Recent oil change, inspection and alignment.

Reason for selling? Quite a bummer, actually. When we built our house 3 years ago, we planned on installing a lift for a track car. In preparation for that, we found that the base under our concrete slab was not compacted properly and has sunk quite a bit. It all has to be pulled out / replaced as soon as possible regardless of the lift. Rather than letting this car (which we really do love) sit outside and get exposed to concrete dust and eventually snow, we think it is better to sell it now and re-assess our car situation after all the work is done (and we see if we have any disposable income left).

Thanks, Brent 585-315-7051

Oh man, I am so so sorry to hear about your house situation. That really sucks. I wish I had an extra space available here to let you store your car What a shame.

Best wishes to you, beautiful car.

Nice car.

If you ever feel like selling any parts I would be interested in the strut bar.

[drummerbrent]

Chris - thanks.

jbh - I wish I could pull the strut bar out for you, but then I would have to get it realigned. Thanks.

Actually, removing the strut bar does not change the alignment.

I found with the negative camber maxed out (and the alignment pins out), there is a little bit of side force. If I loosen up the strut nuts to remove the strut bar brackets, the top of the strut could move around a little bit - especially if my garage floor isn't level (we know it's not). Probably not a big deal, but I would rather sell it aligned as is and not have to replace the strut nuts.

Dang. Low miles. Good luck with your sale.

[drummerbrent]

Bump

[drummerbrent]

Price reduced to $33,000.

she looks pristine and very low miles indeed for an '06. i'm sure u've not quite enjoyed her enough! best of luck with the sale!

[SCHMOUPE]

wow, how hard was it to resist driving her so little in 4 years? I have had mine for 4 months and put about 4k on her. GLWS

[drummerbrent]

We bought it new, but only have had it for 2 1/2 years. Yes, we don't drive it enough - both my wife and I work from home (and very long hours). Most of our driving is to the grocery store, Lowes, or the airport and we wouldn't dare take it to any of those places.

nice car. I put about 4900 miles on my car since I bought her in May

[Finnegan]

I sent a lead your way (guy from the M3 forum)--not sure if he'll bite or not but thought it couldn't hurt. GLWS.

[drummerbrent]

Thanks all. Still for sale, though.

Wrong. As long as the weight of the car is on the suspension the strut tops will not move. There is no risk of changing the alignment by removing the strut bar.

Price lowered to $31,500.
