Tired as we are of the BMW E30 in LeMons (second in popularity only to the Civic/CRX/Integra), we're forced to admit that the E30 has proven to be a pretty decent cheap endurance racer. If you start the race with an E30, you've got nearly 50-50 odds of keeping it running all weekend. More »

But in the case of this 1987 BMW 325i, "fully-documented" is an understatement. The E30 came with all oil change and service invoices, the original motor vehicle purchase contract, sales brochures, accessories catalog, owners manual, a vintage catalog from Dinan tuning, a receipt indicating installation of a Dinan chip and H1/H4 headlight conversion, and a thick BMW factory repair manual in mint-condition.
