I have just added a 325i cab to my ever increasing fleet of BMW's.
Its silver - have to check the exact colour, and has silver/grey interior with m sport stripes in the front and rear seats. Switchable auto, electric hood, grey centre console and door cards, 15 inch cross spokes and colour coded bumpers.
Looks remarkably like the one in the for sale section belonging to BUG4LIFE
Anyway, how do i find out if it is an m sport version. It has all the bits the one in the for sale section has, but would like to know for sure.
Any advice welcomed.
Thanks
Richard

Ring a bm dealer and give em the chassis no. and they should be able to tell you if it was a motorsport or not :D

Or just give the dealer your reg number and ask for a print-out of the original spec. The print-out should say 'Motorsport Edition' and a code .

If it is a real motorsport from 1989, it should be Nogaro silver and as far as I know: Motorsports were the only cabs to have leather throughout the whole interior - as is covering all the centre consol [handbrake, ashtry etc etc] - like mine. Got any pics dude?

Hmmm, mine is nogaro, fully leathered inside. No pics yet, picked her up today. Needs a damn good valet inside and out and work out why electric hood doesnt work, a polish and find out why it is firing on 5 not 6.

Something to keep me busy!
