Hi Guys

a great site I am very pleased to be a part of
Had 911 3.2 Carrera's for the last 10 years, but now I have a proper car, I've learnt a lot from the site, 1st edition with no mtech kit / but still got leather door cards etc... It has the later motorsport coloured wheels which I like, I do have another complete set of wheels that are not painted I may put on or sell

Great site and pleased to be part of it

Dan

There are a few bits that need doing so will seek your help over the next coming months

Welcome to the zone, very nice cab, please don’t take this the wrong way but I could be wrong but I’ll think you’ll find your car is a chromie (ie Chrome bumpered ) with a sport interior and wheels to match.what you need to do is go into your BMW deerlership armed with the last 6 letters and numbers of your vin number and ask for a spec sheet print out,and will show you all about the car when it rolled off the production line,like I said either way still a nice cab, good luck.

Thanks guys
Have a read through this on the forum

https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.p ... Motorsport

It talks about an early motorsport ?? Only 40 in 1988


Production Numbers
40 in 1988 (Chrome)- Macau Blue

250 in 1989 Nogaro Silver & Macau Blue

250 in 1990 Sebring Grey & Macau Blue

50 in 1991 Calypso Red & Maruritus Blue

Now I’m confused

Well that’s very interesting, I didn’t know about BMW made half a sport car (no not taking the p#ss) I didn’t know how to put it, again I could be wrong, but in the last photo of your car, under the front bumper there seems to be a bit chrome.Anyway as I said go into a deerlership and get a spec sheet or have a look online.

I think there was some interesting stuff with 88' convertibles having half facelift and half preface features if I recall

yes buddy, i learnt about it from this forum when i bought the car., looking at the link i've put above

They didn't come with a bodykit etc... mine has got the leather seats, leather door cards, centre console in leather etc..

Mine has had the wheels painted like the later car, which i know isn't correct but i quite like to be fair, its not a minter but i'm really pleased with the car if i'm honest .. The motorsport bit was a bonus for me i just wanted an E30 Convertible i always liked as a kid

Thanks

There were motorsports cab without the M-Techniq bodykit. Best way to confirm is to ask for the spec sheet from the dealer (recommend Cotsworld here).

You could Also send Brianmooore a pm and ask him about your car,what he doesn’t know about E30s isn’t worth knowing or failing that bbs325i is another guy is very very clued up on all BMWs especially E30s.

Looks like you’ve hit the jackpot,I wood keep it as original as possible or if you change anything ie wheels,interior,etc make sure you keep the original parts you take off.

A few more photographs, the weather has been awful and I'll do more when the weather improves !!

Hopefully you can see leather door cards and centre console etc...

I'm really pleased with her :)
