84 Bmw 325e with 4.0L v8 m60 swap, 5 speed trans. Clean body, interior rough-ish but nothing extreme for 35 year old car. Built for fun and to be driven which I don’t do so time for better home. Needs tires. Like stock look/sleeper myself but thinking of tossing wheels on with decent tires. Blast to drive with roughly 300hp/tq. Let’s talk and see if it’s your new toy. No trades, have too many cars. Please don’t ask silly questions or lowball me. I will ignore you. Find another one. Uncommon and awesome. $7000 obo. Open to reasonable offers. Text preferred. Thanks, James.

$7k, I could find 2 in better shape for that price. The weed in Portland must be off the chain.
Swapped ? prove it ..
