Spec E30 / 1987 325is / 117K miles / Columbia SC / $12,000.00 OBO
Up for sale is my Spec E30 race car. I’ve had a blast racing Spec E30 over the past few years. With a new baby at home, racing time is limited.
This car is capable of winning with the right driver as it sits right now. I’ve won 3 Spec E30 races in this car but I’m usually a mid pack driver. Car is ready to race, needs nothing but a new home!
When I bought this car in 2005 it had 112K miles on it and $20K worth of receipts for parts and labor that I will pass along with the car. Way too much to list in this ad but I will highlight the main points below. Most of the money spent went toward maintenance items, getting the car in perfect mechanical shape.
This car has been a dedicated track car since 2004. I built it into a Spec E30 in 2006. I ran one event in 2007, 4 events in 2008, 7 events in 2009, 6 events in 2010 and 2 events in 2011. Since I have owned this car, it has been trailered to and from the track only seeing track miles and has been garaged the whole time I’ve owned it. Car has zero rust anywhere. This is an extremely reliable, safe, fun and competitive race car.
Here is a quick list of highlights about the car:

All new rocker arms in 2006 (broke one at an event, replaced all with upgraded parts)
New Camshaft at the same time rockers were done
