Car description

Acquired by the previous owner in 2006 as a very stock 325i and then slowly and thoughfully built it into a very capable track car over his ten years of ownership. As both the previous owner and myself are now BMW HPDE instructors, this e30 setup has served us both as an outstanding and forgiving learning tool at the HPDEs as we've advanced up through the ranks while surprising a lot of guys in their Porsches! The previous owner moved on to CHUMP car racing. I'm phasing into retirement later this year and moving away from the track to scratch a classic car restoration itch while I still can.

TRM chipped
Vanos U/G

Body/Chassis:

mileage unknown but very good condition
late model valences front and rear
paint refreshed, a few small blems in surface prep - looks nice!
2 Sparco bucket seats with G-Force harnesses
Drivers side Schroth Profi II Hans compatible 5 pt harness
Pass side - older GForce harness
rear interior removed
VSR roll bar
front carpet is still in place and pretty beat
Pretty rare BBS rear Heckspoiler

Windshield washer tank and nozzle delete. Wipers functional
Ram air intake through drivers side high beam housing

Bumper tuck front and rear and painted to match body for monochromatic look
Aluminum trim black out (Plasti-dip) for monochromatic look.

Cons:

rear windows have not worked since I've owned the car
Drivers window switch is temperamental. I believe its the pigtail as I've swapped out the switch and bench tested the motor as good.
Sunroof has been inoperable since I purchased the car. Not an issue for me so I never attended to it.
Wear spot on drivers left side seat bolster
Rubber exterior weatherstrip cracked - front passenger side window
