1993 BMW 325i sedan 5-speed track / autocross / street car - $3250
1993 325i sedan, 5-speed manual, black on black with 165k miles. This is a car that I have fixed up and upgraded for use as a street car and track car -- Mechanically it is in great condition -- LOTS of recent work, reliable, and fun on the street or around an autocross course, but cosmetically it is not perfect and has some flaws which I have not addressed (could use a paint job). This would be a great car for someone looking for a cheap, reliable, well set-up car for track or autocross, or put a back seat back in (if that matters to you) and have fun on the street. Has Ground Control coilovers, camber plates, Koni shocks, and an M3 limited slip differential, plus more (see below).
The chassis is a straight southern car with no accidents and no obvious paint work. Original paint and interior aren’t great but it looks good from 20 feet -- see the list of all the known minor issues with the car below. Street legal and with valid inspection. All the car major functions work fine with no error lights on the dash -- AC is good and recently charged, lights all work, etc. This car has been used at two High Performance Driver’s Education events by my wife, and it worked great.
Comes some spares -- brakes, pads, original parts, etc. Currently a pair of nice stock E36 M3 sedan seats are installed but there are eye bolts for a driver’s side harness. I had a (borrowed) rollbar in it but had to return it. Clear title in my name, ready to sell.

I had my instructor hat on the whole time she was looking at the car, encouraging her to buy a stock car to start with, and that the 325 is too low for soft rally-x, etc. I did everything I could to talk her out of it, ha! But in the end she had too much fun driving it and had to buy it
