I purchased at 12k miles in February 2017 as my wife and I were expecting our first child. It's a fantastic little car and incredibly capable at moving from Point A to B very quickly. My son is now 9-months old and I'm looking for something a bit bigger. I'm the third owner - car has always been owned by enthusiasts.
- First bought this and an F80 M3. He drove the car 9.3k miles and decided to stick with the M3.
- Second bought the car as a city car (always garaged, no street parking and zero bumper scars). He titled this in Idaho however, the car remained in the SF Bay Area. This allowed him to run the APR Stage II tune and catted downpipe (more on that later). He was a mechanical engineer with a host of fun toys. His track cars included an E30 M3 with an LS3 and an FD RX7 with an LS7. He sold the car along with an R8 and 997.2 Turbo to fund a new business venture.

This R has been upgraded to address both the weaknesses in the OEM design and
take advantage of low hanging fruit to raise the output. All of the work was performed by the second owner. We removed the downpipe on his lift so that I could register in CA and pass smog. He was a Type-A personality (as am I) with great attention to detail. The upgrades have been on the car ~8k miles, and it drives perfectly. New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires were installed at 16k miles in September. It is an amazing vehicle, hopefully a fellow enthusiast can enjoy it as I have. All OEM parts are included with ~10k miles.

Thanks for all the interest and comments. Car is great to drive and flies under the radar. Kind of has a dual personality depending on how you’re feeling that day. With the downpipe and Stg 2 tune, it was like Jekyll and Hyde.

Great looking car. Any idea on shipping to the east coast?

I would recommend uShip to get an idea.
