Description
1989 BMW 325is Track Car / Race Project — $4,500 OBO
Up for sale is a 1989 BMW 325is (E30) track car — a proven club racer (ran as car #129) that's been stripped and prepped for track duty. It comes with a complete M20 inline-six and manual transmission installed, sitting on BC Racing coilovers, with aftermarket wheels and Continental tires. This is a great platform for someone who wants to finish a build and go wheel-to-wheel or do track days without starting from a bare shell.
What it is
• 1989 BMW 325is (E30) coupe, previously campaigned on track
• M20 2.5L inline-six with manual transmission, complete and installed
• BC Racing coilover suspension
• Stripped interior with race dash, switch panel, gauges, and motorsport wiring
• Quick-release steering wheel, tall race shifter, hydraulic handbrake
• Aftermarket wheels with Continental tires
• Includes a roll cage (see notes) and a box of spare parts
Included in the sale
• The car as shown, with wheels and tires
• BC Racing coilover suspension
• Race electronics — dash/switch panel, gauges, wiring, and ECU
• Roll cage (not yet installed — see below)
• Spare parts: If seriously interested I will do an inventory of what is in the parts bins for this car.
Honest status — read before you message
I want to be completely straight with a potential buyer:
• I have not started the car in two years. It is complete and should run and drive without issues — all the parts are there and it served for years on track before I acquired it — but I have not fired it up since purchasing it two years ago. If I find some time, I will put a battery to it and see if we can get it to fire Sold as-is.
• Roll cage is included but not installed. A brand-new replacement cage is included to be put in, one bar in the kit is damaged but that can be easily fabricated. Cage install/certification is up to the buyer.
• Fire suppression system is present but should be inspected/updated before any competition use. I did not check the dates but I assume it is out of service date.
• Needs a race-spec battery to meet tech requirements.
• Battery cutoff/kill switch is installed but I have not verified it functions — assume it needs testing.
• General race-car wear throughout — this is a track tool, not a show car.
No title — sold on a bill of sale only. This is a dedicated track/race car and is not represented as street-legal or registerable.
$4,500 OBO. Cash and local pickup — buyer arranges loading/transport. Message me with questions.
