History
Unlike BMW factory models, the 325i Sport was a UK-only model with dealer-equipped upgrades from the M-Technic options list. The packages are known as Tech Sports kits, and come in two flavours. For pre-facelift models, cars are Tech 1, and for facelift models the cars are Tech 2. Aside from the standard Tech package, customers could choose further upgrades from the M-Technic catalogue that were not available to standard factory models, thus giving the 325i Sport a level of exclusivity.
Aside from the M-Technic features, 325i Sports are standard 325i cars, sharing the 2-door bodyshell, M20 engine and drivetrain component with all standard 325i cars.

Colours
Tech 1 from 1986
This model was produced for a short time of 6-10 months and most were either grey, silver or black. They differ from the tech 2 by looks and cabin accessories but in the main they are not so different. This tech 1 is in lachs silver and showing the standard kit front apron and side skirts and rear apron and colour-coded boot spoiler. The trim is grey houndstooth but did also come in leather. This is becoming harder to find now so if you have any hang on to it, most drivers seats have the usual bolster wear. Inside you have tech 1 steering wheel and sports seats, black headlining and all usual refinements are not standard as with any bmw you could ask for electric bits to be added - such as windows and sun-roof the one above does not have electric windows but does have electric sun-roof.
As for the model in general this is now a very rare model, even more so than the tuning houses of hartge etc as they produced cars through out the models life this was made then stopped to be superseded by the later tech 2. This model does not appear in the parkers classic car buyers guide, this model was not present, the tech 2 was but from 1988 on so this model will only rise in price.
