1986 BMW 325es

We found this '86 325es languishing at a used car lot recently. Apparently it was traded in a few years ago and the owner of the lot was going to keep it as a project car. That never happened, so the BMW was sold.

The paint appears to be original under that layer of dust, while the original sport seats are in excellent condition. Being an es, it has the optional sport package, which includes the seats, M-Tech I steering wheel, air dam and LSD.

This E30 will undergo a mild restoration, with a few performance enhancements as well. These old 3 Series are incredibly popular right now, for good reason. They're a blast to drive, with classic styling but enough modernity to make them usable as everyday cars.
