Turbo M50 BMW e30 Coupe

[kloucks]

For sale is a well sorted turbo M50 1987 BMW 325is, that was built to be a drivers car. True to its purpose, it is not slammed, stanced, or covered in stickers. There is zero rubbing, scraping or dragging in any way shape or form. Every consumable in the drivetrain from the control arm bushings to the guibo have either been replaced or upgraded. The exterior is in great condition (rare for these cars, and the interior is in near perfect condition with a crackless dashboard and multiple digital readouts for the standalone ECU. The rear valance was properly swapped to the late model e30 to better balance out the look of the car. The car has lived its entire life on the west coast and it has zero rust issues. There are a few custom components that were professionally fabricated for this car, such as powered rear window openers and a removable hydraulic handbrake (car has never been drifted). Anyways on with the stats.

I daily drive it at 15psi and I have a big fuel map for 22psi that I've used sparingly. Never tracked or abused, just daily driven on the nice days. It pulls great with plenty of room to grow if you get the need for more power. Please only serious inquiries. 13,000 obo

Rear windows are pretty cool. I like how the license plate mount on the bumper has been made to be extra airflow areas. Is that a custom bezel?

GLWS nice daily sleeper.

It is a custom bezel that I designed to keep the gauges in the most optimal location for viewing and still out of the way. Thanks for the compliments!

Good looking car. Good color combo / graphic. Sits just right as well.

What a beautiful car. This is the type of build quality I'd be looking for if i weren't building my own. GLWS

Thanks for the compliments! Here is a daily driving video I took at the request of a potential buyer. I might take another one later, seems like mounting the camera to the window exaggerated the road noise significantly.
