Feeler: Swissvax Maintained 2008 BMW E90 M3 W/Mods

So it's almost time for the lease on my car to be over (January 2012). Instead of parting the car out and returning it to the dealer, i'd rather have someone take it in it's current configuration.

I've always changed the engine oil with the OEM oil every 5K miles, and cleaned the air filter every 2-3K. I also changed the differential fluid at 30K at Active Autowerke.

Here's her specs:

2008 BMW E90 M3
Jerez Black Metallic
Black Novillo
Carbon Leather Trim
19" Style 220M OEM wheels
Technology Package
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Moonroof
HD Radio
Satellite Radio

Mileage: Low 30's, i'm not exactly sure of the mileage, and i'm still driving the car...

Mods:

Active Autowerke:
-Signature Exhaust
-Power Pulley
-ECU Tune (For Catless Midpipe)
-Short Shift Kit
-Spark Plugs (At 30K I installed the HKS spark plugs used in the Supercharged M3 kit, yielded +7HP on the dyno!)

BMC Air Filter

Custom Catless Midpipe with x-pipe and magnaflow resonators

H&R Sport springs

Macht Schnell 15mm Spacers (4 corners)

Rear fenders slightly rolled (Not visible)

OEM BMW Performance Spoiler

JL Motoring:
-Front VRS Style lip
-Rear Diffuser

IND Black Side Gills w/Tinted LED

BMW Performance gloss black kidney grills

Stoptech SS Brake lines

HID Angel Eyes 8K

6K HID Low Beam

Turning lamp also matched to 6K color

Interior LED kit

OEM Blacklines

3M Crystalline 75% tint (Front Windshield)
3M Ceramic 35% tint on the rest of the car

Hawk HPS Brake Pads

Hardwired V1 (V1 itself not included)

= ~$8-9K in Mods

All the performance work has been done at Active Autowerke, and most of the other simple work I did myself.

I'll post pictures of the car soon.

The lease buyout is about $44K at the end of the lease in January 2012. I'm looking to get about $52K for the car AS IS... If not, I'll just part it out and return it to the dealer...

Aside from normal rock chips on the front bumper, and a few of the soft-touch pieces on the interior peeling from normal use; the car is in close-to-mint condition. The Interior has been treated with all Swissvax products about every 3-4 months. The exterior has only had one aggressive compounding in it's life, and was thereafter maintained wit ha single step polish with Swissvax polish about every 8 months, and waxed about every 2-3 months with weekly washes with Swissvax car bath.
