Located in NY/NJ area. I'll upload some more pictures I just took this week now. Currently don't have any clean interior pictures on my phone but I do have a 1 minute video of a full walk around inside and out of the car started at idle. If you're interested in that video PM me and i'll send it your way.

Beautiful car man!

1) Did you ever sort the "Mysterious power loss" that you wrote about back in 2017?

2) Updated miles and history since first listed?

2) What is your ask with everything listed and the BBS?

2) What is your ask with everything listed and the BBS?
1) Wow I completely forgot about that thread, thank you for reminding me! I replied to the thread with what the issue was in case anyone else has the same confusion as me in the future. But yes 100% resolved, looking back on that post gave me a good laugh, it was in fact the stock clutch that could not handle the added torque from the tune (not sure why I thought a stock clutch could handle the added power back then lol). I upgraded to a HS tuning high torque clutch and flashed to the APR stage 2+ high torque file and the car has been driving like a dream ever since (knock on wood).

2) Current mileage is around 64k (forget the exact mileage off the top of my head). I don't drive this as much anymore, especially not in the winters. Only thing I've done was change the oil and oil filter last week (Castrol 0W-40 fully synthetic and OEM filter), I've always changed the oil during the spring and fall, since I don't put many miles on this my 5k intervals would be long, and I prefer fresh oil before the seasons change so its been done every 3-4k miles.

3) The BBS wheels I planned on selling separately because of how much they're worth (3k), I understand not everyone is into 3 piece wheels/knows their face value so I just excluded it in total from this post. But for the sake of this post I will elaborate on them in case someone wants to purchase them with the car (which I prefer because they fit perfectly). These are custom built style 5's RC090, 3 piece converted and upsized to 18x9 and 18x9.5et low 20s. Dual drilled 5x112 and 5x120. 7 months ago I had them rebuilt and refinished professionally for 1600. 4 new tires nitto neo gens, powder coated faces, barrels, 2 new 2 inch lips for the rear, new bolts and nuts, new oem red and gold bbs center caps and valve stems/caps from BBS HQ in Georgia, custom made center waffles and hex cap from spinfab. Faces lips and barrels were ceramic coated as well. Only driven on in the spring and summer, I've put around 1500 miles on them since they've been refinished. No bends, cracks, vibrations or leaks. I would like 3k for them because thats in the range of offers I've gotten for them, (being dual drilled allows BMWs and VAG owners to bolt these directly on) but I am willing to discount them a bit and sweeten the deal for anyone who wants to purchase them with the car.

I apologize for the long replies, just trying to be as descriptive and transparent as possible
