This 1993 BMW 325is is a one of a kind - it was EuroTuner magazines project car of the year in 2005, and I purchased it in 2014 from the owner who bought it directly from them. He finished the conversion to the M3 style, repainted it, added a whole bunch of custom audio hardware as well. Unfortunately, I've fallen on some hard times and haven't kept the lady in the condition to which she is accustomed, so she's also fallen into some disrepair.


So, I present to you, the "M325is."
(I will post pictures tomorrow when it's light outside.)
