Myself and 2 friends purchased this 1986 325e to build up for the Grassroots Motorsports 2003 Challenge. The idea behind this is that you build a car for at most $2003, then drive to Florida in November, and compete in a 1/4 mile drag race, autocross and concours. The car that scores the highest in all 3 areas, wins the competition.
Here are more details on the event:

Another 325e being built for the Challenge:

Our planned mods were:
Drag strip:
- Conforti chip, 24hp, 120hp to 144hp, $100 ebay
- 75hp nitrous shot, $300 ebay
- 3.73 LSD, $250 ebay
- 2 used racing slicks for drag racing, $60
- strip out all extra weight

Autocross
- used E30 M3 suspension, $150 purchased used locally
- new Boge Turbo Gas shocks, $130 ebay

Concours
- fix damage to front of car
- new seats



side by side:


In March 2006 I finally put it back to mostly stock configuration and sold it to Max here in Seattle. Max is doing some street upgrades to it, but its his daily driver.
