Now for the cons..
Unfortunately she was involved in a fender bender and was given a salvage title. I bought it back from the insurance company and replaced the hood, front bumper carrier, front bumper cover, and the passenger headlight. Most of the parts were used aside from the hood. I never got it painted and it is currently wrapped in 3M vinyl that closely matched the color of the car. Also, the windshield has a small crack in it and could stand to be replaced. There is a crack on the top of the shift **** from the heat and as mentioned above, the clear coat is peeling on the wing. Overall I'd rate the interior at an 8.5/10 and the exterior at a 6.5-7/10.
Additionally during that accident, the driver seat airbag went off and I haven't found a replacement yet.
And lastly, the car was keyed at my old college parking lot but its not through the color and could be buffed out.

UPDATE: R56 front seats have been installed and wired up! Also, some work was done to remove the scratches and they are far less noticeable and most you cant see any more and the wheels have been refinished however I would sill rate the condition as a 6/10. And lastly, the JCW Aero Grill I had lying around has been installed. See updated pics!

All in all, she's not perfect but she's a blast to drive and runs great. Considering the cost/current value of the mods, I'm looking to get $5000. Included if desired will be the stock header, stock exhaust, stock airbox, rear seats, stock cam, stock injectors, stock swaybar, and the stock rear wing.

Thanks for looking.

Do have the dyno sheet for the stated power? just curious if its documented or just a theoretical prediction.

 

My apologies. I meant to scan the dyno sheet and upload it with the post. Should be attached below.

Jan mentioned the dip in Hp around 6000 rpm was likely due the the serpentine belt tensioner and she's probably good for another 2 or 3 Hp. I have a new one that I haven't had a chance to install. If desired, it can be included with the sale as well.

 

Bump $5500 obo

 

Best of luck!!! I'm selling the same car but opposite mods: '06 with similar mileage that would be a great 'make it yours' kind of project. But also that rad HYPERBLUE! That color is awesome.

 

Thanks! Hope others feel the same.

I got my eye on a Starlight Blue JCW Countyman. Let get this sold guys!

 

I love that color and the rear seat Delete !! Good luck with sale

 

For those interested, all reasonable offers will be considered.

 

$5000 Dont wanna have to part her out..
