Well, it's that time. Now that I have spent 2 years of time and money on the car and it's working well and sorted out nicely, it's time to sell it. Those of you who know me, know I suffer from a rare and debilitating disease known as automotive A.D.D. and at this point have managed to set my sights on a V8. I am intending on heading back to Knox and can't bring myself to cut up this car.
This car has been competitively prepared for the well-subscribed STX class but it also serves as a nice daily driver - it has A/C, a great stereo, heated seats, and a stock exhaust. I was thinking about trailering it to Packwood but ended up driving it and really was glad I did so - it's really a great car to drive.
The car itself is a 2011 BMW 128i, it's a rare 6spd manual sunroof-delete model with no options except Xenon headlights and premium sound. I bought the car in 2015 with 90k and it now has 105k on it with the majority of that in 2015-2016 when I was still driving it to work a bit.
The car is an extremely competitive STX autocross car - have entered 9 events this year, and it's been the fastest STX car out for 7/9 of them including Canadian Nationals where the car took 1st and 2nd. I went to Packwood and drove like a complete monkey overall but on day 2 managed the 4th fastest time on day 2 out of 20 entrants.

I have a detailed spreadsheet with every item of work done, who did it, mileage, and details (alignment, etc) available to serious buyers. The car has been meticulously maintained - since I bought it, I have spent over $2800 in maintenance alone - 3 oil changes, 3 diff fluid changes, 2 brake fluid flushes, power steering flush, new tie rods, new bushings, new brakes - pads and OEM rotors on both front & rear, etc. Every part on the car except for one set of wheels was brand new. I have receipts for $20k in upgrades, maintenance, labour, and wheels/tires plus the cost of the car which was another $20k.
I'm asking
$20k (was $25k) for the car. Anybody interested?
