BMW 325is For $2000, Buying and Shakedown [Born A Car - Episode 1]

Gabe Pérez

07 May, 2017

This is the story of a crap-can BMW 325is and our attempt to take it drifting, off-roading, rallying, and endurance racing.

In episode 1 of Born A Car, Ryan buys the BMW and meets up with Mike Spinelli at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey (home of the Clubloose drift scene) to see what we got ourselves into.
