It's time to let go of my 8er after 11 happy years. It's been fun but I have my eye on a new mistriss. It's in very good condition and is a great drive.
List of upgrades -
M-Sport springs
CSI rear bumper valance
Front bumper license delete
Body colored front lower valance
Strong Strut tower brace
M-Par staggered wheels
M e36 steering wheel with paddle shifters
Euro dark light strips
HID low beam headlights
LSD 3.91 diff from M5
CSI rear sway bar
(I'm sure there is more)
Stock parts replaced/rebuilt:
Brake bomb
Brake master cylinder
Radiator
Coolant overflow tank
Coolant hoses
Fuel lines in engine compartment
Various hydraulic lines
Heater control valve
Half-shaft boots
(more I'm sure)
The only issues are the headliner sagging. One of the dash vents has always only vented cold air, but I just closed that vent when I ran the heater.

Just ordered new tires to be installed this week.
Thanks,

Great color, I've always been a fan of the 8 series. GLWS!
Got it back from the shop. They did a thorough inspection and found no issue with the driveshaft, so that's good news. Just needed two new batteries and an oil service; and she drives great. Next up is new tires for the M Parallel wheels. Looking to get them refinished as well.
Then to work on the headliner. The price will be higher on Autotrader and Craig's List, etc. (start at $18 - 20k) so the price listed here is for how it sits now without new tires or headliner repair.

Nice car and GLWS, but are you planning on spending 5-8K on a headliner and tires? I don't follow.
What "thumbs up" really means
