Up for sale is a 1987 325is
I am the fourth owner of this car and I’ve had possession since spring 2004. Over the past 6 years this car has been through many transformations and been my daily driver. I have put thousands into it for maintenance and fun. In January 2009 I finished the install of the M50 engine. I have recently moved and my situation in life has changed. I really need to focus on my career and more practical things so the race car has to go. As ASUbimmer and Aptyp can attest I have done much to this car and haven’t cut any corners or cheaped out on anything.
Right now the car is not perfect and needs a paintjob, and that is why the price is so low. This is a great chance to get a fast car for cheaper, plus I kinda like the way it looks as its speed surprises more than a few.

Car is very fun to drive. No AC or Power steering (lines looped) as I built car to haul ass not be a cruiser. Perfect car for track or somebody who wants a daily that's something completely different.
As I said I have not cut corners with this car, but it is no show car so I have priced the car accordingly. I’m asking 4,000 dollars. Car is located in Greensboro NC.
