1986 325eS Alpine/Schwarz
VIN: WBAAB5404G9689968
Clean CA Title & Current Smog
This car came in to my hands in March of this year after spending the last few years being passed around by a couple friends of friends. Both of the owners loved the car but treated it poorly by putting on some serious miles with no supporting necessary maintenance. When I saw this car pop up for sale I knew I had to save it! What I originally thought was only going to be a rebuilt head and possibly some shocks/struts ended up turning in to a full blown project! As you can see by the list of modifications and maintenance below, no stone was left un-turned. I had every intention to keep this car for myself but with 6 cars I really need to let a couple things go! As you can see the modifications to the car are mild and tasteful. My motto during this build has been to make it The Ultimate Daily Driver E30.
The body, paint, and interior of this car are NOT perfect. It does have dings, scratches and chips here and there. The car still cleans up and presents itself well for being 27 years old! We all know daily driving can take its toll on a car. Trust me you DON'T want something with a perfect body and fresh paint! You'll be afraid to drive it, ask me how I know! I do believe the car has been repainted at one point in its life but it was most definitely Alpine White from the factory as well. All modifications and maintenance on this car have no more than 500 miles on them! I simply have not had time to drive it much!
