Hi, i´m from Portugal and a e30 lover, this is my pride:

It's a 4 door saloon without M-Tech2 kit, wich was an option, only standard on the 2 door.

I'm looking for a complete M-Tech2 kit, let´s see if i can find one.

He's from 1989 and one of the S14 BMW 320is sold in Portugal and Italy.

Sorry for my writing mistakes. :o:

Thanks for the answers, in Portugal were sold 164, this is one of them.
As the years pass, it becomes difficult to find them in good condition, and had the luck to find this in good shape.

In this link, have all the information on this model:
http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=10

1206 were built, but if we exclude those who are already in scrap, dismantled, etc. No longer must be many in circulation.

The 4 door is more rare than the 2 door, and both 2 and 4 door are more rare than standard e30 M3. :D

Thanks,

There's no need to be embarassed, even here in Portugal where this car was sold, lot's of people doesn't know this car, and the 4 door is quite rare to see.

At first, i was looking for the 2 door, but when i saw this one, i fell in love for him... :o:

I think there are some writing errors, but i'm trying my best... :D

I miss my 320iS - they are superb machines.

Mine felt SO much tighter than a 'regular' E30 Sport.

If one pops up for the right price, I couldn't recommend a better all-round E30 for the money.

Of course you may ask.

Here in Portugal i've paid 160 euros, but here the IVA, that is the same as your VAT, is 21%, so there in the UK it's probably cheaper.

Hi,

I live in Porto, wich is 540kms north of Albufeira.

One day you have to come to Porto visit the Ribeira zone and the basements of OPorto wine.
