    '89 325is, M-technik II, 3.2L track/street

    Sold!

    Price: $11,500

    After 18 years of ownership, with a sad heart, I'm selling my car. It has been my track car exclusively since 2010. The current drivetrain was assembled and installed in 2011. The car is quick and agile.

    I was going to gut the interior and install a full cage, but a friend of mine has a car that is already gutted, caged, and prepped to my standards, so I'm buying his car instead. It seemed a shame to gut mine. I've re-installed everything to return it back to a street car, except the A/C (I do have the compressor and custom hoses). The suspension is really a track set-up, so if you are looking for a neat looking daily driver, plan to install some softer springs and bushings. Its stiff.

    This car will pass Oregon DEQ with the catalytic converter (currently installed). However, if you are in California, you will need to install a stock '95 E36 M3 exhaust, airbox/intake, and get a custom tune before going to a CARB referee. The head on this engine and all emissions related stuff is OBD-I so you should be able to have the engine approved as a '95 M3. But, I make no guarantees.

    Flaws:
    Paint is starting to show wear from track use.
    Sunroof doesn’t really work (motor does, but it needs a new cable, I just unplugged the switch and leave it closed)
    On board computer lights have died.
    Suspension is a bit too stiff and clunky for street use: softer springs can fix some of that, but if you want a street car, you’ll need more compliant bushings as well.

            Really good price for car like this. I have very similar car and it cost me around 15k to build and I am still in need of few things. Good luck with sale

            In case someone buys it and want to sell your suspension set up, give them my contact info. I would buy it.

                  I'm an instructor with BMW ACA and Oregon PCA and the car has been at just about every BMW and Porsche track day at PIR since 2004. Otherwise, I didn't drive it a lot.

                              Should be priced at $15k, this shouldn't last long.
