what's this worth ?????

[e30_mtec]

hi guys .... as above how much should i be paying for this?

[Blitz]

That looks like it could be a Motorsport. Looks like its got a M3 rear spoiler plopped on it.

[snakebrain]

Yeah, seats are early Motorsport I think...

ctr console also trimmed in leather

[driftmaster808]

I don't follow the prices of these but what I do know is that without seeing one of these its hard to say, but given the lack of info and high resolution photo's I'd say pay no nore then £2200

Does indeed look to be a macau motorsport. Without seeing the car impossible to price.

Could be anywhere between £2.5k for a leggy munter and £6k for a non leggy minter which I doubt that one is.

a genuine M-sport cab in that colour has the tech 2 kit fitted with the chromie rear lights, along with the sebring coloured cars.

Part of the 2nd run of m-sport cabs from the factory

[bss325i]

First run motorsport cabrios also came in macau blue si, with metal bumpers and sometimes an optional tech 1 kit.

of which this one is equipped. F*cking lose that hideous boot spoiler though!!!!!

[Simon13]

never seen one before

[brettski]

it was a motorsport. I believe that the rear spoiler back bumper and side skirts were racing dynamics. It also had the steering wheel gearknob and manifold. It had just had to many owners and not enough history for me!

[bss325i]

never seen one before

What?! A metal bumper original batch motorsport cabrio?!

You know, either Macau or nagaro ans with grey extended leather not bubble leather.

[e30_mtec]

it has the racing dynamic kit.... it does have few owners on the logg book but the last keeper had it for 8 years. . . bodywise its pretty good. no rust anywhere ... (slight bit of rust on the engine bay)
i been looking for about a year now for a decent 1 that didnt cost the earth .... The colour is amazing ...
mechanically its solid......
pics coming up today.....

[e30_mtec]

needs a good polish inside and outside .....

[snakebrain]

You did really well there mate!

[bss325i]

At some point (maybe the owner who had it 8 years?) someone has had a spend up on Racing Dynamics goodies including, steering wheel, gear knob, full body kit and spoiler (apart from the tech 1 front valence, maybe replaced after a knock on the front and not being able to source another RD one).

I know someone with a set of 16" RD wheels with tyres to complete the package is desired, they are after £300 ono.

[e30_mtec]

Not a fan of the RD wheels.... i have a set of bbs rm's colour coded centre which will be going on there soon ..... need to get the exhaust mounted in the right place .. its tilted on the side atm ... 90% of bm's have this issue ...

That's an '89 Motorsport convertible, one of the second batch of pre facelift Motorsport convertibles. There were only 40 of the first '88 batch in Macau and these '89 versions in Nogaro or Macau are rare enough in unmolested form by themselves, but with genuine period accessories, very rare.

Correct interior was as pictured - the extended leather - almost universally in silver grey. The first batch had slightly different interiors with the M Tech pin badges in the seats as opposed to the tricolour stitched flashes.

Wheels pictured are correct too, but were standard silver 15" BBS on the first batch.

Body kits were optional on both runs and were always Tech one, though many have subsequently had Tech twos butchered on.

Dreadful advert hampered its sale. It should be worth much more than the final bid price if it's not rotten.

If you're swapping the wheels, let me know, I could do with a decent set of the nogaro centred ones.

Currently I have one of each of the first two batches. the differences are really quite significant. The early car is really just painted Macau with extended leather - almost poverty spec. The '89 one is a much more considered spec - OBC, headlamp wash/wipe, rear headrests, boot liner, LSD etc. etc.

The '88 one could be for sale if anyone is interested.
