Proposals received : 1
Powered by its original 2.5L engine and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this rear-wheel-drive platform is an ideal candidate for an engaging electric driving experience. The owner’s vision is to retain the car's spirit while elevating its performance, targeting a responsive setup in the 200–250 hp and torque range, with a driving feel roughly twice as powerful as stock.
This 1990 BMW 325iC is a beautifully preserved convertible, offering a perfect blend of classic design and driving enjoyment. Originally a Florida car, it has been exceptionally well maintained throughout its life and remains in outstanding cosmetic condition, with original paint and a recently refreshed interior and convertible top. Now located in Maine, the vehicle has benefited from significant recent mechanical work, ensuring a solid and reliable foundation for an EV conversion.

The owner’s vision is to retain the car's spirit while elevating its performance, targeting a responsive setup in the 200–250 hp and torque range, with a driving feel roughly twice as powerful as stock.
The project is intended for weekend and leisure use, with a focus on delivering a smooth, refined, and reliable EV experience. A target range of around 200 miles and fast-charging capability are key requirements to ensure the car remains practical and enjoyable for modern driving. The owner is familiar with Tesla-based systems and is open to incorporating them, while remaining flexible to other well-proven solutions.
The vehicle is largely original and rust-free, with minimal modifications, making it a clean and straightforward platform for conversion. The owner is open to light participation in the process and is willing to ship the vehicle within the region to work with the right shop. While no major upgrades are required beyond the conversion itself, certain elements, such as de-icing, power steering and AC, should be clearly itemized to allow for separate decision-making.
No towing requirements.
