Nice .....good price. Do a carfax, and see if they can dig up the JCW intake that was probably replaced.

There is a thread here somewhere where a BMW tech can run the vin for ya too. He will give ya a pdf file copy and you can see what it came with from factory, build date other neat data

that year JCW did not have the JCW intake, I have a 2003 JCW (that is just 12 JCW's earlier than his ,they're like brothers!) and had to install mine and more then get the JCW reflash to update it to 06 JCW power.
