What e30 is this? help please!!

[323iNathan]

My brother wants to buy a car and wants to know what this is. Please ignore the seat covers and gear knob, they are easy fixes. Was the 325i (or 325is) available in european spec in australia in 1987? Could this be a 325e (even though the taco reads up to 7000)? It can't be a 323i if its from 1987 can it?

Thanks

Just a boggo 325i I'm afraid. Does have an M-Tech 1 Kit on it, but it's not an iS (the same spec as a European Sport)

Judging by the engine bay picture it looks like a regular 325i. Certainly not the 325e as the inlet manifold would be different.

Hey Nathan, The 325e in Oz, had the e on them but were as far as i know 4 door only.

Nice car, where bouts in Sydney are you?

[323iNathan]

there is 325e coupe that lives around the corner from me, sorry to shoot down your theory. I'm north west (Hills District)

That's ok.. We had a 325e. Was a slug of a thing.. but was what got me hooked onto E30's!

i saw a few 325is's in australia, i think they are private import. this car is just early 325i with the m-tech kit, looks very clean

Seems someone's reversed it into an 'M' badge.... Pretty car though. Looks nice.
