New to me: 2005 997 Launch Edition with 42k miles
So, I purchased a 2005 Launch Edition 911S. Had it a week. This car was always in South Eastern PA or New Jersey / DC / Baltimore area. Would love to talk to any of the previous owners. The car is FANTASTIC. The cars before this was an E36 M3/4 and an E39 M5. The impression of this car is simply amazing. I am a 6'8" 275lb man, and I fit in the car perfectly! Love it! Have alook!
WELCOME SWAAAAARTZZZZ...... and i'm about to post a "new to me BMW E39 M5" thread soon...I'm in the process of buying Swaartz's M5, just waiting for final inspection and then shipping to AZ
actually dont let it bother you, just do it when your ready to do the clutch...this isn't a 996 its a 997 even though its the 2005 which do "rarely" fail...the good news is on the 2005 you can get to it when doing the clutch, as for 2006-2008 (which have also failed before) they can't get to the IMS to change it

Car has Sport Seats... Love them, BTW!
Yes, My M5 is going to a guy that had an 05 Launch. How strange is that?

Ding ding ding. Tim G. salesman. Actually, I wanted badly to do business there and was impressed with their approach to used sales. Not to mention they have a kick-@rse road for test drives I'm located just over the DC border in MD. People who ask me if I fit into the car annoy me (haha) "Well sir if not I sure did make a expensive mistake".

If it is a 2005 Launch Car the 6sp version had adaptive sport seats while the TIP version came w/ sport sports. Both electric of course. Full leather (black only)interior as well.
Since the photo shows it still has the amber markers I suspect the previous owner(s) did not add any aftermarket goodies.
I sold my 2005 Launch Car back in March after close to 7 years of problem free ownership.
GL to the new owner!
