I am listing my super clean 06 R53 for sale. I will probably regret this later, but if I can find a new owner who will take good care of her I will let her go. This is one of the nicest R53s I have seen both cosmetically and mechanically which is why I had to buy it once I saw it. No lights on the dash and doesn't leak a drop of anything. I have been daily driving it without a single hiccup in my ownership. It is a late production R53, September of 06 so it is as reliable as they come and also has the desirable LSD. It also has a clean carfax, no accidents. It has some desirable modifications as well I will list below.
Mods:
Cravenspeed 15% pulley
Cravenspeed dipstick
DDMWorks Intake
Borla Catback exhaust
Superpro lower engine mount insert
PRW harmonic balancer
NGK 6988 plugs
R56 Front brake conversion with stainless steel lines
H&R coilovers
Ireland Engineering camber plates
Hotchkis 22mm rear sway bar
Cabrio braces
Helix short shifter
This car was always taken care of and maintained. Much of the cooling system was replaced before I purchased the car, and I replaced the expansion tank again preventatively so I wouldn't have any issues daily driving it because they are a common failure point. The tires are 2 months old and I also have a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports with maybe 5k miles that I removed for the winter. I am sure I am forgetting a lot so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. The car is located in South Jersey.

I know the prior-prior owner of this car. He has been looking for it in recent months and wants to buy it back. Sending you a PM now with his cell number. This is 99% going to be a done deal.

Short shifter was already installed when I bought it but I have driven a friends stock R53 and the difference is noticeable. I have no complaints whatsoever.

I wasn't so fortunate when I did a VIN search for my old friend, a 2006 S Slicktop. It's gone through lots of owners who have put a ton of miles on it. Ugh... When I discovered that I decided I didn't want to know any more.
