This brought this home.
2005 R53 with 79k on it. Relatively good shape. A lot of option boxes checked. Clean car report and found no rust, door sills, tail light or boot latch area. Like in a previous post of mine, the ride is harcher but that might be runflats.
Mods on car:
Reduction pulley,
WMW ignition pack
AFE CAI
Bilstein/H&R sport suspension package.
Will drive it awhile and report back!

Hi lotter1,
Good looking gen 1 MCS!
Ditch the run flats, but a 12 volt compressor and a patch kit and enjoy a much better ride!

That is what I did on the red one. I will put the black wheels on the new MCS and see how the ride feels with the different shock setup
