December 2, 2009: Big price drop from $14,995 to $11,000 on this track car. We assumed the seller would be negotiable before but this is more than we assumed he’d be willing to lower it. Still a great way to get into BMWCCA events or simply learn how to drive a moderately power F/R layout on the track. We’ve updated pics and links.

November 3, 2009: Here’s another way to get to the track and keep it within budget. This E36 Touring car sedan has some upgraded parts to make it perform at the track but it also keeps a relatively stock engine and transmission for easy access to parts and service. This is a car you could take to the track unassisted and run by yourself, there’s something to be said for that ease. This 325 is priced reasonably at $11,000, we’re sure much more has been put into it over the years especially considering things like new paint, brakes and other things to get it looking race-ready again.

As we said, this E36 has stock BMW drive train. The engine and trans are out of a 2001 M Coupe and the seller claims they only had 40K miles when installed, the seller claims it has never been raced with this motor as it was installed after the cars racing days. It also has large 13″ Stoptech brakes and purpose-built master cylinders and Ground Control Coilovers w/ remote Moton reservoirs, which should really help in the handling department. We like that it’s very stripped but still retains things like headlights, mirrors and a dash. We also like the cage, which looks pretty stout and very safe; very important in an en devour like this one.

For more info, you can find this BMW on AutoTrader Classics in Newnan, Georgia.
