Here is my Dad's 325i Built for the Birminham Motorshow in 1989

The car was Originally bought by a company called Magard Motorsport in 1989 and fitted with BBS kit, wheels, Bilstein Suspension, Lsd, Sports gearbox & Recaro Sports seats.

It was on show at the N.E.C and other shows.

I'm pretty sure it's a one off, if not definatly the original Demonstrator.

It was featured in this Book.

Here's the Article

About 2 years ago we found another BBS Kit and made a convertible version almost the same.

If anyone knows anything about this car or have any magazine features please let me know :cheers:

Pictures don't do these cars justice. They are phat.

We used to get a lift to youth club in the red one. Which I love for sentimental reasons!

But the black one is gorgeous. One of my favourite E30s ever.

Nice one Gav. :cool:

The truck is an F150 Harley Davidson pickup. Quite a weapon also.

The Cab is rude.

The BBS kits still come up for sale occasionally, not to everyones taste, quite 80s but these cars both look phat!
