Right then, this car needs to go and I'd rather not break it if I can help it - I'm looking for about £1450 for it with the LSD (+Z3M bush) and the hydraulic handbrake, or £1250 with an open or welded 4.1 ratio diff and no hydraulic handbrake.
PM, phone or e-mail me (details below) with any questions or serious offers, will leave it up for this week only and then its getting broken
- someone grab a drifty bargain!
I have decided after thinking long and hard to sell my E30 325i track/drift car. It is a great car for either track or drift use, I’ve spent a lot of money on it but have decided to move onto something else. It has been looked after very well by both me and all previous owner, as the service book bulging with receipts will prove!
It has done 177,000 miles but don’t let that put you off, as the engine pulls hard and will rev all day. Combined with the suspension bits I’ve replaced, it is a very solid and fast car to drive. The brakes are good, hauling the car up to a stop nicely, and they feel much better now I’ve replaced the fluid and brake lines and taken the slack out of the servo linkage – the handbrake also locks the rear wheels brilliantly once the pads are warm (or if you give it a firmer tug!). The gearbox has also benefited from the Z3 shifter, it snicks into place very nicely now. The front Bilstein shocks and Powerflex bushes are brand new and were professionally put in less than 50 miles ago, and have absolutely transformed the feel of the car. The car is also completely stripped and very light, sub 1000kg which is rare for an E30, which helps to make it faster and more nimble.
It is MOT’d and taxed till September, so its ready to drive away and drift! Insurance is cheap too, I’m 23 with 0 NCB and got insured on a limited mileage classic policy with all mods declared and track day cover for £230!
