Looking at a 89 G 325i sport, now through reading on here it has got sport on the log book, what are the other noticable features that confirms this? Be nice, i'm selling my VW's to join the BMW world!

Thanks Adam

LSD, Maplight mirror, OBC ( I think

) Sports interior, M Tech suspension, Full M Tech 2 Bodykit, 15" BBS wheels, Sport Gearbox assuming its a manual.

Get the chassis number and ring a dealer - it's the only way to be 100%.

Mine doesn't have an OBC. Which I prefer to be honest. They're hideous!

Oh and it doesn't have rear headrests

Thanks for that, whats an OBC (on board computer?) Cheers for the welcomes as well, 9 years and 11 VW's its time for a change!

all 325's have rear discs whether sport or not.

As DJK said, get hold of the chassis number and check with your local dealer. Its the best way of doing it. A lot of the time people stick on the mtec kit and throw in the sports seats to replicate one.

The dealer is the most sure way of doing it.

You got any pics of your old vws

Here you go, suppose they wont get much love on here! Heres just a few,

Welcom to the Zone.
As for the sport. Call BMW with shasey or reg and thay will tell you for shaw. And the vw's are cooool but welcome to rear wheal drive.

Sun Apr 19, 2009 12:59 pm

Another thing to do is get the reg and use in confused.com or similar. If it is a sport on the logbook it will come up on there. Tasty looking VW's by the way fella

Love the dubs btw. I had VW's for 13 years before sucumming to the lure of rear wheel drive

Sun Apr 19, 2009 3:26 pm

Im passing you on the way out.....leaving BMWs to go back to Dubs

Sun Apr 19, 2009 7:48 pm

Aaaah the corrado - I had one of those once and it's one of the few cars I regret selling

the E30 is more fun though imho so p'raps you're doing the right thing

Sun Apr 19, 2009 8:45 pm

The wheels on the Mk2 are just pure porn

Mon Apr 20, 2009 5:35 pm

Cheers for the kind comments people, had a look and it was an 325i Sport (genuine) but i wish people would tell the truth about cars and not waste my sunday afternoon (4 hours in total) driving down to look at what i'd call a shed.

Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:19 pm

That is a stunning Mk2 golf. All the right bits and no wrongness in sight!

Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:33 pm

Yes that is a fully regretable sale, should of kept it, (sorry for the off topic)

1991 Golf GTI G60
LHD Supercharged
Full custom made SS exhaust (not a crappy powerflow either)
68mm Pulley
SNS Anti lag chip
Stage 4 'charger
Diesel Mk3 Golf gearbox
Weitec coilovers
BBS RM wheels (7.5 & 8" running 195/45/15's)
And much more!

Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:38 pm

Damn, you should have kept that in a barn and waited for the rest of the mk2's be 'killed' by their owners.

Not that I am rubbing it in or anything.

I had a mk2 1.6cl as my first car, with the small bumpers and absolutly loved it. The e30 has a similar appeal and audience as mk2 golfs in my experience.

Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:45 pm

but i wish people would tell the truth about cars and not waste my sunday afternoon (4 hours in total) driving down to look at what i'd call a shed.

does that mean it was a genuine sport??? if so they tend to have a hard life and end up lookinf like the one you found, exceptions are people like most zoners who spends loads on time and money on them.

Dont get hung up on a sport, and as you may be aware the sport engine is a standard 325 engine, only box and diff are different.

and the Mk2 is a beauty!! hope you kept the rims

I am a BUMDER for selling that! And yes i should of kept the wheels but went with the Golf.

As for the BMW not especially hung up on a sport, rather not have one then i can see all the bodywork for what it is instead of it hiding behind the bodykit. And yes i meant that it was a genuine sport, said it had a respray 4 years ago and only bit of 'bubbling' was on the roof, that was not true!

Another spanner in the works at the minute though is i've been offered my friends Boston Green E36 M3 in px with my mk4 turbo (it's on Pistonheads) but still fancy old skooling it with the E30
