Goodbye my 06 RL A-Spec
Having 2nd baby due next April so sad to let her go. Hope I can find a good home for her in Bay Area...

It's a hard decision and hopefully I will enjoy my new X3 M-Sport

But you could have got an MDX and stayed in the fold?

Yup, but MDX is due on the new model in the next 2 yrs, F25 X3 is still in its 1st year.

I built the X3 M-Sport exactly like the demo car on Paris show, even with the 20 inch wheels!

Do they still have the tour when you order one where you go a get it from the factory?

Or is that just the M cars?

You might just be saying goodbye to reliability by not choosing the MDX.

Thanks for posting your car in the Black Market. Most people don't get it right!

Your car is fabulous. Good luck with the sale.

The funny thing is that I bought the RL when we found out about our second baby! We already had the MDX, though.

I have another BMW E90 330i and Toyota Prius(07), as soon as we found out the 2nd baby we decided to sell one car to get a SUV, too bad I lost the coin game so my RL has to go...

Thank you very much! It's a hard decision, I shopped almost 3 months 5 yrs ago just for the right RL A-Spec, and then I took care of it just like my son, I even ordered the Mugen carbon wing from a Japan Honda dealer to make it looks better. The car is still like new as you can see from the picture, the paint is nearly perfect as I only use the best wax on the market. But it's time to say goodbye as my wife really wants the SUV...

I took more pictures for you guys today since it was raining for the last few days, no photoshop or whatsoever, just the original pictures from my camera! The body is clean like a mirror and the wheel is like new without a single scratch! All records plus 2011 Map DVD!

Make me a serious offer and it will be yours! The car will be parked in my garage before it gets sold, I hope someone can come to see it in person and I am sure you will like it!

Why people strive to get the SUV when they have kids? I understand space reasoning, but it's not like RL has no space...

Werd. When we decided to start a family I got an RL because it seemed like a great family sedan. Better than my Prelude anyway.

You do realize you are about 10+ years late with your response? He sold it back in 2011
