1989 BMW E30 325is racecar and spares

Description

[For sale is my BMW E30 325is turnkey racecar and spares package. Owned and raced periodically in California since 2003. This was my first racecar and has been fantastic car to learn performance driving, race, and work on over the last 20yrs. I’m sad to see it go and hope it goes to a new owner that will enjoy it as much as I have! Only selling now to make room for my newly built SpecE46 racer. As noted below, it has modifications making it suitable for NASA ST5 or GTS2 (not legal for SpecE30 in current form), and potentially other classes depending on your region. See below for summary technical information. I’d be happy to chat about any questions not addressed below and/or make the car available for inspection at my house in the Los Angeles area.
