If we had a nickel for every time we impulsively bought a BMW sedan, we'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Just days before it's competition debut, our BMW 325i decided to break a coil-over.
Sometimes things do not go as planned, and we now have less than a month to prepare for the $2000 Challenge.
Why work on a project car by yourself when you could “volunteer” your friends to help? The same thing happens at GRM, too.
One of the best ways to deal with a rusty project car? Buy a second car, preferably one with less rust.
How much rust qualifies as "too much to repair so you'd be better off scrapping the car and buying one with less rust?" Asking for a friend.
With just 6 months and $1000 to spare, can this crusty, low-buck E36 BMW racer be brought back to life?
Whether or not $1000 is enough to get this forlorn BMW 325i ready to race, that's all the budget that's left if it wants to compete in our $2000 Challenge.
This 1994 E36 BMW isn't just crusty, but it's also pretty rusty. The end goal? $2000 Challenge glory.
