The Appeal

The BMW E30 325i is widely regarded as one of the most engaging and well-balanced sports saloons of its era, offering the perfect blend of performance, handling, and everyday usability.

This 1986 example has been taken a step further. Extensively modified with E30 M3 styling cues and performance upgrades has created a distinctive and eye-catching vehicle that stands out from standard E30s. The Arctic Blue Metallic respray gives this modified 325 a fresh appearance, while the Bilstein suspension, Hamann wheels, and Sparco sport seats enhance both the aesthetics and driving dynamics of this classic BMW.
