You're probably wondering why would I change such a beast of a car making so much power? Well folks I didn't choose to do this. About a month after purchasing the car, the turbo and engine both took a complete shit on me. Car was not healthy and the turbo was COMPLETLY burnt up and sucked something threw to the bottom end of the engine and destroyed it.
So I completely Rebuilt the car at CASTRO MOTORSPORTS. And it's running now beautifully with even more power at a lower psi.
I am asking 22,000 for this car. OR 20,000 without the BBK, and STARTECHs.

Steel Grey Metallic turbocharged S50 1986 E30 325e
Clean title rust free four door California car.
Hello r3v, I am regretfully deciding to sell my pride and joy and have to commit to it in order to move onto bigger and better things. I purchased the car in February 2012 from a middle-aged gentleman who listed it for sale after acquiring a new Mustang for his daily duties. The odometer works and had turned 204,000 miles when I was given ownership. It was a 100% stock model, which was exactly what I was looking for considering I knew I wanted a clean canvas to paint on. After researching my options and ideas, my newly acquired piece of German steel went through an extensive aesthetic and drivetrain build through Castro Motorsport in North Hollywood, California. My car has always been garage kept and never been in any sort of accident. I am often made fun of by my friends on how meticulous I am about keeping its appearance clean, washing it twice a week. Every service and modification, even down to the fluid changes, were religiously and professionally handled at Castro Motorsport.
Before we get to the meat of the sandwich, I would like to say that the car is fast and dangerous in the hands of a careless person. I am not shy to mention that I’ve spent north of $27k to bring it to its current form and really hope it goes to an enthusiast that is going to care of it as much as I have. I had every intention of keeping this car forever; continuing, learning, and adding to its build, but as mentioned earlier, an opportunity has presented itself forcing me to sell. Business is business
I promise to be back with something of the same caliber in the future.
