Here are a few photo's of the South African built 325i more door that I purchased from a zoner a little while ago.
Alex came over and gave it a clay bar jobbie which was followed by a coat of polish and wax.
Only job left on the cosmetic front is to get the BBS wheels, which are in good condition, a decent coat of silver.
The car itself is a real optional extra fetishist's dream, it has:
Auto Box
Front and Rear Tech 2 spoilers and bumpers
Very odd, but very smart side skirts and door strips
Cruise control
13 button OBC
Air Conditioning
Leather Sports Interior
Large tool kit in boot
Four leccy windows.
and no doubt a couple I have forgot.
Anyhow, enough speak and here are the pics:
Any comments, good or bad are welcomed, there is still a few bits to sort but mainly electrical as always.

Thanks Fi, I'm really quite taken with it. The door mouldnigs and side skirts look proper and similar to the SA built 333i's ones but a tad different (I think).
I'll hoy one off at some stage and see, but they certainly look pukka. The Tech 2 stuff was certainly factory fitted.
Maybe I'll see if Cotswold can shed some light on it

Looks great. Strange airbox. Looks like one off a early 320i/323i.

Skirts are nothing like 333i ones.
Tech 1 steering wheel and shadowline trim are options that you havent mentioned.
As its an SA car it should have a sump gaurd.
LSD?
Oh and get it flooded with waxoil, SA cars have poor corosion protection!

Looks like someone beat me to it with the waxoil Barry, it is surpisingly solid all round. It has got a sump guard which needs refixing as it is hanging down a bit

the side skirts are part of the aero bodykit. ive got a brand new set that have never been fitted, i think their a genuine part as mine are stamped with the bmw logo on the inside. i may be wrong tho!

Thanks for the info guys, that's been bugging me since I bought it. I even joined the South African E30 forum to find out but no one seemed to know.

i had the same problem finding infomation about mine! couldnt find any pics of the kit fitted on the car till i seen yours. the only reason i knew what they were was because i had the original booklet with it.
