The time has come to part with my beloved ambition of a project car. I simply won’t be able to progress with it over the next several years with my current professional goals, hence the sale.
I originally purchased the vehicle in January 2013 as well maintained and loved ETA. It’s since then gone through quite a bit of a transformation underneath. The interior was tastefully revamped and the driveline was an absolute joy to piece together. It’s a tremendously rewarding car to drive that makes lots of happy noises on and off throttle. It dives, rolls, and puts a smile on my face whenever I hop on in.
The engine was pieced together by me (mostly) and finished up, assembled, and installed by the Bimmerheads team. If you aren’t familiar with Shant & Matt, they’re doing some great work in this community. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience working with them.
Motor has about 8,000 Miles on it while the chassis is circa 225,000
