Hi guys, im new to the E30 and im a little confused as to what kit & rear spoiler my car has, according to the history on it, its a 1989 -325i Motorsport edition in Macao Blue.
Im trying to get as much info on the car as possible before restoring it
Are the bumpers & spoilers original to this model
Is this a face lifted model
Was there side skirts available for this model

ALL INFORMATION WELLCOME

Not sure what the year was for change over but the early pre facelifts also had the higher compr
ession engine. Which, im led to believe is slightly faster. winkeye

Thanks for the info guys.

Its seems its a pre face lift motorsport edition model apparently the interior in the
motor sport is differant.
If the car is a genuine motorsport edition, it would be a shame to change the kit. Id try keep the car original :!:
so i think id put the Mtech 1 sideskirts on it and leave the spoiler, though I'm not a great fan of spoilers on cabby's
