I was going to go SpecE30 racing, but between my oldest kid already being in college, and two girls in HS, soon to be off to college as well, I just dont see racing in the budget. I am instructing now for BMW CCA, so it looks like that is likely what I'll continue to do for the next few years.
Having said all that . . . .
1990 325i 4 door
Sterling Silver over . . . well, as far as interior, it is gutted save for the dash and the seats, which are Corbeau Forzas covered in genuine M Tech Cloth. It has tan interior door panels on the front doors only.
INTERIOR
Custom DTR Performance roll bar with x brace. Rear mounting points are above the rear spring perches, not welded to the flim flammy wheel wells. This can be made into a full cage. Kevin @ DTR has quoted me $1000 to finish it off with X bars for the doors. More for NASCAR bars. The bar obviously complies with SCCA/NASA/BMW CCA specs as far as tubing construction and base plates, etc.
Harnesses are G-Force 6 point camlocks. Passenger side one is good for another year, driver side I think is now expired for racing purposes.
Sunroof is fixed in place with the cassette mechanism removed. Current sunroof panel has some rust in it. I have another one that is rust free that I have yet to install, but will include with the car.
I have some custom gauge plates for the radio and OBC spots, but they are not installed.
Wink 3 panel mirror
Has an M-Tech wheel, but will also include a Momo hub if you want.
Custom Dead pedal.
EXTERIOR
Nothing too fancy here.
IS rear lip
Volvo front spoiler with "aero by VOLVO" decal. :P
BMW Motorsport front Tow Strap
H1/H4 Euro headlights (purchased new in 2010)
Can include the Trailer hitch that I use for my tire trailer for $100 extra. HF tire trailer (custom painted in the BMW motorsport Tri-Colors) available as well.
DRIVETRAIN
Stock M20B25, Bottom end rebuilt in 2008. Has approx 12 weekend HPDE events (most were 3 day) on it.
Ishihara-Johnson Crank Scraper
SpecE30 exhaust
Trans and the 3.73 LSD filled with synthetics
Clutch, pressure plate, etc all new with engine rebuild
All belts, hoses, water pump, etc replaced at rebuild
Magnecor spark plug wires
Power steering delete
AKG Urethane motor and trans mounts
SUSPENSION
Bilstein Sports
H&R Race Springs
Ireland SpecE30 adjustable camber plates
Ireland rear shock mounts
AKG Control Arm Bushings
Ireland Rear subframe bushings
Ireland Trailing arm bushings
Suspension Techniques Spec E30 sway bars
Sparco Front Strut tower brace
Reinforce Front Subframe (AKG kit)
Two sets of 15" wheels with R-Compound Tires
BBS with Toyo RA-1s
TSWs with Hoosier R6s
also:
Bottlecaps with Falken Ziex 512s
An extra set of scrubbed in Hoosier R6s included as well.
The paint is not the greatest. Drivers fender is painted with paintscratch.com paint, as are some touch up areas.
Looks good from a distance.
If I finished the cage and had it painted, I'd be looking at asking about 9k for it as a Spec E30 turn key car.
Car runs well, makes good power. Wish I had a dyno sheet!
In its current state, I'd list it to the public asking 5500 OBO.
So, it would need the cage finished, fire system, battery cutoff, window nets and a seat back brace in order to get a log book. You might want to do more - get a halo seat, etc., but that is what it would need to pass minimum muster.
As is, it is a great fun little DE track day car that needs nothing but a driver.
I can provide more photos to serious parties by email.
