Welcome to the zone. I have a 1991 H rege. I think J is mainly if not all 1992 cars. They made the motorsport cab in 92, but im not sure about the sport. 8)

I think they are very very rare. Most of them will have just been registered late. You will have to look hard to find another!

They did indeed register 325i sports on J reg's, I've got one! Mine was registered Feb 1992, though digging a bit deeper it was actaully built in 1991, so must have been sat in dealer stock for a while.

There's also a very small number of K reg sports, like this one: clicky clicky though again the likelihood is that these will have been built in 1991.

I beleive there was one for sale recently too.............. winkeye

Mine is a J reg 325i Sport. Registered in '92, but the build date is '91.

And theres another Silver one on here.

There is meant to be a K reg Sport somewhere around around as well 8O 8)

in 1991 production ceased for saloons and M3, so they are all just registered late. only cabs and tourings kept going after

My sister has a beautiful 1991 E36 j reg 316 in white with windys and 4 doors. what a turd!

They stopped production of the E30 saloon in March 1991 (H) but rightly said above the letter on the plate is a Registration date which could be anything.

My C2's a '91 on a J plate. It's one of the last ones built by Sytners, must give them a ring to find out how close to the end it is.

no they didn't because my old 318iS was built in june 1991

i think it was august/july 1991 they stopped production because there are very very early E36 saloons about on H plates
