FS: 1984 BMW 533i - Ex Chump Car

[Jake]

This belongs to my roommate, who acquired it in a series of interesting events. He just got a job that requires driving (vs. Metro) and needs to sell this sometime soon-ish so there will be room in our driveway for a commuter car. This car is an ex-Chump Car that was last raced in 2013. I think it completed a few races so it's been pretty reliable on track.

Also, he's looking for a commuter car.

The sale doesn't have to be immediate, but I figured it couldn't hurt to post early and get some discussion going.

Basics

• 1984 BMW 533i - M30B33 motor
  
• 5-speed manual gearbox
  
• Light blue paint, applied fairly well. Car was originally Bronzitbeige, I think. Interior was spraybombed white.
  
• Oh yeah, not much interior anymore.
  
• 16x7" Kosei K1 Racing wheels with some tires you probably don't want to track on. They're fine for street use.

Chump Car / Track-Day-Bro Goodies

• Full cage (welded in) with front door bars and dash bar. This passed Chump Car safety/tech in 2013, no idea who did the work.
  
• 2x aluminum (Kirkey?) racing seats. Driver's seat is a halo, passenger is not.
  
• 6-point G-Force harness on driver's side. Passenger side needs harness.
  
• Stock, school-bus steering wheel
  
• No windows aside from front windshield.
  
• No HVAC. Heater core has been removed.
  
• All doors gutted - no window regulators, door locks, trim
  
• Electrical cut-off switch on driver's side of dash
  
• Some sort of exhaust. I think it's basically straight-piped from the headers back. Henry put an AutoZone muffler on it to try and quiet it down for our neighbors. It's still really loud.
  
• Brake lines were replaced in the past few years

Random and Possibly Broken Shit
So it's a 30-year-old car with no windows and no heat. Take that for what you will.

The lights all work. He has the "diving board" bumpers but took them off because reasons.

He's got the title for it, and did obtain Antique license plates (no safety, no emissions required) to drive it on the street a bit. So... you can do that too. It's just kind of unpleasant unless it's 72* and sunny.

Shifter is a beautiful representation of "hot dog down a hallway" and could really use all new bushings.

Spares
I know he's got a few rebuilt brake calipers for it. Mayyybe some Rock Auto pads, too.

There's also some spare wheels that are of some multi-spoke design with some crap tires on them. I think he's got two of those.

Money.
Looking for $2100 OBO.

So, discuss. I think it'd be great for someone with space to keep it (Channing?!) to buy and run an MM Chump team with. It'd also be a great autocross/HPDE car. No idea where it would go in TT but hell, do that too.

Just get it out of my driveway. Please. The neighbors are starting to complain.



Featuring both wheel styles at once - most of the stickers have been removed now:



Black fender is because the PO hit something at the last Chump race and crunched it up a bit.





Has a woodgrain 6-speed shift knob, donated from a crashed X3:

You may not be surprised to learn that I love this.

You should come buy it then!

[BLINGMW]

While I would no way need this car but still want it.... any chance he would be interested in my E46 325 as a commuter? PM me his email or something, maybe I can come up with some kind of idea that would be equally bad for both of us.

[SlimKlim]

uh oh, I smell a deal

Wait until you see Channing's tentacle porn collection

[davej]

is that a coarse spline steering column? put me down on the list of 'will scavenge parts if Chan doesn't buy it'

could also sweeten the pot with a honda fit!

[Senor_Taylor]

This is making me very aroused.

[ispoonwithmugen]

I kinda want this for some odd reason.. if only I wasn't moving...

[Jake]
