The Story:
Not that this is a “story” car, or that I want to let go of this vehicle, or am ready to, but my search for a 981 Cayman S is complete and sadly I do not have the storage or time for both vehicles, as I recently bought a project car as well. No expense has been spared maintaining or modifying this car and the previous owners, like myself, were BMW CCA and M3Post members. The car has been maintained by Herb Chambers BMW and the owner of EuroTech Motorsports during my ownership, who has carefully cared for the car as well. He has worked on all of my former cars and I trust him greatly as he is like family to me. The car is to be sold as is, or for a lower price with the removal of some modifications. Shipping is at the buyers expense, but will meet within a 150mi range for delivery. Happy to provide any documents or additional photos, just PM. PPI welcome, but happy to share the PPI from February when I bought the car. Deposits welcomed. Asking $31,000 or best offer.

These cars look amazing in white. Good luck with sale and it is beautiful. Current 08 owner myself and love when people bash on 08's for no great reason.

Thank you! Enjoy it! '08s are great and I did a complete LCI down to the clutch and flywheel so no one can really say it isn't an LCI anymore!

Beautiful, though I think I'm more envious of how clean your garage is. GLWS!

A good car deserves a good home!

Beautiful build, more important a solid build. I love everything you’ve done to this car, and I’m sure this won’t last very long.

Same here minus my iDrive. I rarely use it to be honest but might be worth looking into if I hold onto the car.

iDrive delete would be way more worth it imo! It seems a bit more complicated but since I rarely use iDrive it would be nice. It is at least nice to have the updated system.

Update: Bimmerworld Race X-Pipe added and deposit taken. Will update if sale falls through.

[austinlsinger]

Sold! Hopefully the new owner loves it as much as I did!

Hey brother, thank you! Unfortunately, I don't know. They were on the car when I bought it
