***Editors Note: I had a hard time choosing which car to have featured. In case you didnt know this man does a lot behind the scenes and then it occured to me that he has a nice group of E30s. Lola is definitely fitting for a feature. Bronzit haters will have a hard time being mad at this one! Congrats agent & Lola, you're our November 2017 Car of the Month ***

Story behind the car:
I bought the car in Knoxville, Tennessee at the end of 2012. I had just completed 3 years worth of work on my 87 iS earlier that year, and made the decision it was not going to see the track as originally intended. So this one was bought purely with the intent of eventually fulfilling that purpose.
I knew from the beginning I was going to do a 24v swap and essentially replace the entire suspension, so the fact this one had 272k (on the non-working odometer) was of no consequence.
She's progressed from a purpose-built mountain road carver (aka Brodeo machine) to a full-blown street legal track toy over the course of the last (almost) 5 years, just about all of which has been documented in her build thread:
Big thanks to all my friends who've lent a hand in the progress of this car over the years. You know who you are!
