Alrite guys, im thinking of buying this E30 325i. Mainly because its black and i have come accross very few black sports and no.2 I have always wanted a left hooker.

This is the link: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1506943.htm

Its got approx 130k I think, but doesnt have the sport extras I would have wanted, like leathers and electric windows.

What do you guys think? worth the price?

Cheers

looks tidy, hes trying to hide wear on the drivers seat though!!
Probably a bit overpriced especially seing as its lhd
I would have said it was worth a grand less? just my opinion though!

No obc either (listed in advert) and manual front windows. I've never seen a Tech II sport with manual windows.

Phone your local BMW dealer with the reg number and get them to cheque if it's a Sport - although being an import I don't know if they'll have the info.

Make sure it's a Sport before you pay that kind of money, looks like a solid car.
why would you want a LHD ?

Then it'll be a standard 325 coupe with an LSD (I'd be checking that) and a tech II kit. SE's had leccy windows, sunroofs and OBCs.

I'm sure the maplight could've been an optional extra, as with black headlining - if it has them.

I wouldn't pay any more than £1250 for it as it stands, assuming no major rust is lurking.

When he says OBC, I think hes talking about the check computer on the rear view mirror. I think its worth around 3. Can electric windows be fitted?

I'm going to make sure you get first chance at my Black Tech II Sport when it comes up for sale if you value that car at £3k winkeye

£3k for Tech II 325 that's a LHD - you're madder than a box of frogs. :mad:

Just a LHD 325i with a few options by the looks of things. Not worth that money.

'Sport' is a UK market only selling device.For some unknown reason the word has attained mystic qualitys and is worth several thousand pounds.
That's a German market spec 325i,Germans are much more macho than us weedy English,so did not need things like electric windows.
To me,that car is worthless,because the steery wheel is on the wrong side,my wife would remove the r/h side very quickly!
Conversion to RHD is possible,I have converted a similar spec touring,but I paid only £150 for the starting point!
