That wiki article is totaly inacurate

My money is going to the option code *335 M TECHNIC SPORTS PACKAGE bss325i notes. Thats the definitive answer here.

Here is a copy of the build spec print out for my sport.

Not that for model is has, 1116 325iSP, that combined with the relevant option codes is the only way to confirm if its the real deal or not!

delete catalysor never heard of that one before

[Ollie_bwoii]

Why is the electric sunroof on there twice?

[bss325i]

delete catalysor never heard of that one before

Every UK spec Facelift car that never had a cat should have that option code.

[bss325i]

Why is the electric sunroof on there twice?

Cause its got two!

Not sure why, must be some anomoly.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Slightly But was does anomoly mean?

Must be common because my car has the s/roof listed twice on its spec sheet as well !

[Alex]

prehaps they were standard items but you could tick sunroof delete and if you didnt it went on twice??????

Because i do!

There probably is alot less.

Those figures were never going to be acurate as all that person did was find out how many 325i SPORT's were still registered with the DVLA for each year.

Not all 325i Sports had SPORT on the V5 log book so there will have been plenty of others missed. The only way to prove the authenticity of a 325i Sport is to get a build spec sheet from any BMW dealer and if its a genuine sport then it will have the model as, 325SP and the following codes,

*335 M TECHNIC SPORTS PACKAGE
*209 LIMITED SLIP DIFERENTIAL
*206 5-Speed Sports Gearbox (if manual)

along with any other standard spec and option codes.

The ONLY way to get an 100% acurate figure is to find out from BMW GB how many 325i's were sold here with option code *335 M TECHNIC SPORTS PACKAGE, along with the model 1116 325iSP and then getting all of those chassis numbers and going to the DVLA with them as seeing if each individual one is still registered with them.

This would take some time and i cant see anyone going to the bother of doing it unless for finacial gain.

[JimmyC]

how do you get a build spec?

About to do the shed of a tech 1 I have and would be good to check authenticity before spending ££ and hours

Also be nice to return to original spec ie same carpet/seat colour

[RM2186]

The only way I know is a BMW help line for specs, 0906 209 0001...... £1 a minute

[panesar_e30]

I got a spec sheet with mine. £1 a minute?

[bss325i]

The only way I know is a BMW help line for specs, 0906 209 0001...... £1 a minute

No need to spend £1 a minute!

Just walk into any BMW dealer parts department and ask for a print out of the build spec. Its free.

I'll buzz cotsworld then, christ knows I've spent enough with them to warrant them posting me a copy!
