Yeah, even I just used the above link, it does't tell you if its a motorsport or not. It just says Bmw 325i, auto, M20 engine,etc

To date, BMW have not given the chassis numbers of Motorsports out.

As stated above,your dealer is the place to go to confirm authenticity.

Upon enquireing at my local dealers,they gave me the spec sheet free of charge :D

I don't think you will find the word "Motorsport" on there thou.What your looking for is the code "796".

there is no charge for finding out the spec of your car BMW will print you out one for free..........
on the spec sheet it will say if it is a motorsport or not, if it is a motorsport it will say 796 package Motorsport edition.......
