Just thought I'd share as I'm getting rather sentimental at the prospect of having to sell the old girl :(

M20 B27 engine, 121PS, I think the S denotes sports suspension & various equipment differences over the normal 325e

Yep, made 07/1990, special order by the first owner, who took advantage of the factory delivery option. The service book has the Pre-Delivery Inspection space stamped by the factory itself.

Nice bit of provenance :D

Hey, I was working with what I had!

I wasn't willing to spend more than I paid for the car for a set of real chromie bumpers and a valance when I could have spent it on performance!

Nice car. You also seem to have a small stumpy nob :twisted:

Why are you selling it?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

In Canada we call those bumpers "diving boards". They where pre-facelift for us. It's funny that cars like that are rare here. However tech 2's and even more tech 1's are quite rare in North America... All in all pretty nice looking car man.

Everybody whose seen my knob has said that too...but they love how it feels in their hand!! 8)


I'm only selling it as I'm moving from Florida back to England, and I'm pretty sure it'll cost too much for me to ship it and get it registered in England.
