    1985 BMW 325 Turbo E30 SoCal 300+ HP $7,500

    When I originally bought this it was a bone stock 325e. Now it is what you see. I built this car to be a something I could daily and drive to and from the track. I have daily driven this car, I have driven it to Las Vegas and I have taken it on countless spirited drives up and down the canyons. It is a wonderful car all around... Just needs to be what you're looking for. I have easily over $13,000 into this car. A lot of time and effort went into this car/build. Chris Castro is an amazing mechanic and an even better fabricator... I am stoked that I can call him my friend. Everything was done right on this build... No cut corners. New engine has no more than 3,000 miles on it. The car is at somewhat of a fork in the road, it's really up to you if you want to make it more practical, or make it a full time racer. I have never been bored with this car, and it breaks my heart to have to sell it... but life and bills come at you fast. $7,500 OBO. Please be respectful and give me offers worth both our time. Thank you.

          Hope it goes to a good home Kyle. Cars come and go bro, as long as your priorities are being taken care of...... With that said, you will have a chance to build another one in the future.

                  3.25. Responsive, but still long enough to ride the boost.

                            Nooo!

                            Who ever purchases this is getting WAY more than what they are paying for.
                            This car is a shop favorite.

                            GLWS Kyle.
