260hp Hartge BMW H35 E30 Coupe

This 1985 Hartge BMW H35 began as a German-market 323i, transformed by Hartge into one of only three US-imported vehicles. It features a 3.5L inline-six engine equipped with higher compression Mahle pistons and a performance camshaft, producing 260 horsepower. Paired with a dogleg 5-speed manual gearbox, this unique car includes Hartge front and rear bumpers, flared wheel arches, and a fiberglass hood. Suspension and exhaust upgrades were performed by Steve Dinan, and it boasts a tan leather interior with E30 M3 sport seats. Located in California, it has a history of meticulous maintenance and documentation, including a California BAR sticker.
