Stoptech ST-60 BBK & OS Giken SuperLock LSD Sale

JBW · 05-17-2013, 08:23 AM

Yes, this is a for sale posting, but as the specifics dictate a regional sale only I thought it most appropriate to post here.

In brief, as I'm moving out-of-state in 6 weeks and ultimately am parting ways with my 2010 E82 135i in about 6 months, I have an offer for anyone local that's interested in the subject components...

I'm willing to part ways with my front ST-60 Stoptech BBK (w/black calipers) if you are willing to:

Provide the correct/OEM front brakes to go back in my E82 (ALL correct parts in great condition)
Pay directly for the labor to swap parts at German Performance Service (GPS) in Boston (The very best shop around!)
PRICE REVISED (AGAIN) - Put any fair/reasonable $ amount in my pocket (See below.)

The ST-60 BBK goes for $3,200 new. I think this is a strong offer.

As for the SuperLock OS Giken differential I have installed, the same deal applies. I don't have a specific $ figure in mind, but if you have an applicable BMW and want/need a terrific LSD, I've got one! Make me an offer that includes the correct OEM components to go back in my E82, covers the GPS labor costs and puts a fair/reasonable $ amount back in my pocket and it's yours.

You can call GPS to discuss any technical details, their labor costs, etc. Marc knows me and knows of this offer. He's a spectacular guy and runs the very best BMW/Porsche shop around. He's an absolute professional. This can be a very easy deal/swap process for all. So, if you want a Stoptech ST-60 BBK or OS Giken LSD for your BMW - both in great, perfectly working condition - but, want to save a substantial amount of $, let me know! Call Marc at GPS with any serious questions concerning components, labor costs, etc. and contact me on the deal itself. I'm moving 6 weeks from today, 06/28. It either happens beforehand or doesn't happen at all. Spread the word!

Thanks!

What gear ratio?

JBW · 05-18-2013, 06:15 PM

It's the BMW stock ratio. Or, however OS Giken interprets that. I felt there was no reason to change it at all and didn't. I didn't want higher revs down the highway than what was/is needed. As stock it works perfectly.

JBW · 05-20-2013, 05:20 PM

Here are a few photos of the brakes taken this morning. NE winters have worn the outsides some, but they function as new. (That's just a little rust on the rotors. They shine right up as soon as you hit the brakes.)

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks.

b1aze · 05-21-2013, 06:53 AM

PM me a ballpark figure on the cash-in-pocket price for the diff. Ill look into swap price and see if its something i would consider.

Edit: Also, this is for a 6mt? The ratios are different

This is for a 6MT.

PM coming.

Thanks.

JBW · 05-22-2013, 07:39 PM

5 weeks from today is likely the last day for a swap to take place in Boston.

JBW · 05-29-2013, 06:52 AM

4 weeks left.

peasouped · 05-29-2013, 07:13 AM

Im thinking this is not a good deal..only because the purchaser is paying for labor on 2 cars. I would highly recommend you pay for your own removal and re-install or lose the good amount of money in pocket lol. Just a recommendation. I dont think there is much money to be saved here with all the labor costs. Id be very interested in the lsd if you change your mind on labor.

JBW · 05-29-2013, 07:24 AM

You're thinking this is not a good deal? Or, you know it not to be? Have you researched the labor costs? Are you a serious potential purchaser that's contacted me to examine what my best price might be? Nope.

I'm always amazed at people who write replies like this to "for sale" postings. They seem to serve no other purpose than to discourage potential buyers. Seriously, why offer an opinion on the matter when you know nothing?

The fact is that there are great deals to be had here. If you knew what you were talking about you might also know that as fact.

peasouped · 05-29-2013, 09:25 AM

LOL if you say so sir. Just a recommendation! The stock 135i setup sells for about $1500 new for just the fronts, plus $1600 to you and probly about $500 for the brake swap. Equals $3600. New stoptech front setup complete is 3200 plus figure $250 installed. $3450 roughly new. Plus I could sell my stock setup. Just trying to help sir. Not trying to beat you down. And if you have a best/revised price please post. Like I said Im interested in the diff

JBW · 05-29-2013, 09:50 AM

Oh, so now you want to prove me wrong. LMAO.

Who said I'm looking for a brand new set? That makes no sense whatsoever. Your scenario makes no sense. You make no sense.

This is clearly targeted to a 135i owner that already has the brakes I need (on their car now) and wants to upgrade. In this scenario, at my full asking price you'd be paying about $2,200 to get my Stoptechs. That's $1,600 to me, plus $600 for BOTH cars to be swapped. So, at full asking price you're saving $1,300 vs. a new set; plus any cash you'd get back selling the stock brakes. And, BTW, you get crap $ for the OEM brakes. I know this b/c I sold mine. A new set, plus $300 to do the install is $3,500. So, $1,300 savings at full ask. And, didn't I post, "1,600 OR SO...?" Yes, I did. A strong deal is to be had here if you're interested in the brakes. But, you're not. All you're doing is spewing BS for no apparent reason.

Regarding the LSD, I didn't post an asking price. So, I'm not sure what you are talking about concerning that price. If you want it, follow my lead (as posted) and then make an offer. Otherwise, why are you posting here again?

peasouped · 05-29-2013, 10:05 AM

GLWS

JBW · 06-03-2013, 03:37 PM

I've reduced the price for the ST-60 setup significantly. Now, for $1,600 IN TOTAL you can swap your stock 135i brakes for this Stoptech ST-60 set. That's $600 in total labor (to swap both cars) and $1k to me. This is a STEAL if you want the benefit of a BBK. There's no comparison in braking vs. stock.

Thanks.

JBW · 06-05-2013, 08:18 PM

3 weeks to go...

Yet another worthless opinion from someone on 1Addicts that has nothing else to do with their time than to spew uninformed crap on the rest of us.

All said, thanks very much for your feedback.

Maybe your attitude towards other members is turning them away. The deal is much stronger after taking $600 off.

I've had two chime in with nothing but worthless public feedback. In fact, input that is not only off target and uninformed, but can potentially steer interested parties away. Do I have a right to set the record straight? Yes. Could I be nicer in how I go about doing so? Probably. But, I choose to put down uninformed members who offer nothing but negative feedback themselves how I choose to do so ...quickly and with fact-based dialogue. You're pushing on me for my attitude, but who is it that's really bringing this conversation down? It's the off target, uninformed and generally worthless feedback of others.

The truth is that I never intended to recoup any of the $ that I put into my E82. This is a "nice to have" only. If there is a member out there that cares about performance and wants to do either of these upgrades a deal is likely to be had. To all others who offer nothing but questionable/negative feedback to either me or a potential buyer, please keep your thoughts inside.

Ever wonder why so many Bimmer owners are considered pr!cks? I offer JBW as Exhibit A.

GLWS. Truly. And good luck with your life. Please remember: it's nice to be important but it's important to be nice.

JBW · 06-06-2013, 01:52 PM

So, you were "being nice" by chiming in with your statement, "the market appears to disagree?" LMFAO.
