1989 BMW 325i w/91k Original Miles! Race Suspension 325is Upgrades!

For sale is a 1985 325i 5-speed manual from the factory with ultra low miles at approx. 91k and is verified by Carfax. This car has been in the family for many years and sat in the garage because of a punctured gas tank and bad fuel pump. Never in an accident and freshly repainted. Now after an extensive restoration over the last 2 years is offered for sale.

Over the course of the last year many new parts have been upgraded or replaced. The idea for the car was to be a great SCCA racer but too many projects force sale. With this in mind the car comes with many upgraded parts.

Summary

Very fun car to drive with this suspension set up. Handles like a go-kart. Grab a helmet and 5 point harnesses and you are ready for the track. Really nice paint and racing seats are not overbearing. Clean California title and for a CA buyer will comes with smog done. Also will come with a lot of receipts from over the years. Great looking and driving car and will be sorry to see it go.

I've tried to list everything I can think of and will update the ad if anything else comes to mind. The car is located in Los Angeles.
