So I've been looking to get a E30 or E36 325 or 328 and run it in auto-x, BMWCCACR, and perhaps SCCA ITS if I ever get to that level eventually. How does the 328 classify in SCCA, is it in ITS?

But because of SIR, I am reconsidering my options.

Anyways, if you had a budget of around 7-10k, what you start out with and why?
