I am selling my 1987 325is E30 track car that was used for maybe (5) autoX events. I had this car for a couple of years. It sat at my mechanics for about a year and then I managed to get it set up for the track. I think I drove this car for maybe 1000 miles total. It has been very reliable since the rebuild. Below is a list of mods:

Exterior:
- Paint is not so bad. The top has faded from the Florida sun and little on the hood and trunk.
- I tucked the from and rear diving board bumpers and painted them black.
- The window trim has also been painted black.
- The car has full tinted windows.
- The high beams have been removed to allow for a fresh air intake ducted from the headlight to the stock airbox. (I still have the high beams in the garage)

Interior:
- Fully stripped except the passengers seat. I have the interior in the garage also except for the carpet.
- Sunroof delete including the cartridge (one of the worst jobs ever to do)
- All tar removed from interior and trank
Engine:
- MArk D-sylva high octane chip with rev limiter up to 6900 or 7000 rpm
- Bored out throttle body
- Custom air intake (really it is only a duct from the front headlight to the stock aurbox)
- MSDS headers
- New distrubutor, plugs and wires
- New Timing belt and tensioner
- New oil pan gasket
- Polyurethane engine mounts (I think Ireland Engineering)
- All new fluids (oil, brake, tranny, coolant)
- AC delete
- New air filter
- 17.5 lb M50 injectors

Tranny + Drivetrain:
- all new fluids
- Polyurethane mounts ( I think IE also)
- New driveshaft
- AKG very stiff bushing in the differential (forgot which one but can find out)

Suspension:
- M3 offset bushings
- 25mm Ireland Engineering (IE) adjustable front sway bar
- IE front strut brace
- Polyurethane RTAB's (another terrible PITA job)
- Bilstein sport shocks
- IE stage III race springs
- Ground Control Adjustable camber/caster plates

Wheels/Tires:
- Team Dynamics rims (13.2 lbs) with Falken rt615 tires (40% left?)

I know there is a bunch more stuff that have been done, but I can't remember it all. There is a slight leak in the power steering box, but that is about it. It still has a pretty good sound system in it too. I also have an M30 AFM and some other odd parts lying around....Do I want to sell it - HELL NO! But I had a little baby boy and the car is sitting in my garage wasting away. Somebody should be driving the piss out of this thing. I am actually trying to raise money to patent something, so hopefully this sale will help fund it. Anyhow, these links have some pics of it....

You mentioned the interior is stripped. Have you installed racing seats, harnesses and roll cage?

Which part of Florida?

Thanks

Sorry, I thought this thread died a long time ago because lack of interest, people must have received there stimulus checks in the mail and are ready to spend them....Please PM me if you are interested in the car. It becomes difficult to find this thread when you logon so I really depend on my PM's to see if there is any action.
In response:

greyroberts - I will try to take some pictures this weekend and send email then to you at porsche9fofo@hotmail.com

lokeh - I will try to take some pictures this weekend and send email then to you at brian.boatright@gmail.com.

davesnavy - The interior is stripped - no carpet, no sound insulation, the dashboard is still there with the cluster, vents, radio, and air controls. The car does not have a roll cage, harness or race seats. I have the stock recaro BMW 325is seat. The seat is fully adjustable, but the leather is on poor to good condition. I have the passenger seat and rear seat in my garage. I am located in Boca Raton, Florida.

APK - Car is still for sale.

Steve King - Not sure how much time before the engine is shot.....it runs very strong now and the M20 is pretty much rock solid if you make sure to get the timing belt changed. I'm sorry, but I can't give you a firm time frame as to how long the engine will last - there are just too many variables involved.

Hobie Dave - Thanks for the props. Glad to hear the 2002 is coming along and running strong. Good talking to you last night, and if you guys make the decision to buy it, I will glady drive it up to the casa one of these weekends.

drpctp - I'm sorry the car does not have a roll cage.

Please, Please PM me with your inquires. I am not on the boards all the time and it makes it easier to see who is interested. Thanks and good luck.
