​​​​I'm selling my 2006 British Racing Green factory JCW. It has the limited-slip diff and the chrono package (among other options). It has served me well for the last few years, but I moved to CA (Bay Area) and bought a SL55 convertible.

The car has been extremely well maintained, and drives better than most R53s with half the mileage. Here's a list of the services performed during the time I have owned the vehicle:

-New control arm bushings (were close to end of life)
-New CPS o-ring (had a mild leak)
-New oil pan gasket (no leak, preventative)
-Changed transmission fluid to Redline MTL
-Swapped clutch/flywheel to Valeo single-mass system (at 143k mi)
-Performed oil service on S/C (normally $1600 at a dealer!)
-New harmonic balancer
-New belt
-New water pump (at 151k mi)
-PS fan serviced
-New Riken Raptor tires (80% life remaining)
-New battery (at 147k mi)
-New coolant expansion tank (at ~150k mi)

In addition, it has been lightly modified to improve handling and reliability:
-M7 strut tower brace
-Alta rear swaybar (p/o installed)


While the mechanicals are incredibly smooth, the car has a few minor cosmetic issues at the moment. It was keyed along the passenger's side door, the rear bumper cover has a scuff from a 8mph rear-end in 2015, and one fog light has a cracked case from a run-in with a truck tire.

As the title indicates, it's a factory JCW kit (code S3ALA) which was mfr'd 11/2006. The leather interior is in orange/tan with black accents. The seats are in very good condition, with the exception of some mild wear on the driver's seat. VIN: WMWRE33546TN29148

If you're interested, give me a call at (four two five) eight seven zero six four four zero. The car is currently in Berkeley CA, but is registered in WA.

 

Price drop. Now's your chance for a $6k JCW in great mechanical condition.

 

Second price drop!

 

Hey there! I just gave you a call but you were unable to speak. Please shoot me a message when you return. Thanks so much, I'm very interested.

 

Hi, sorry for not answering. I'm out of the country right now. Car sold already, updating the ad now.
