The car really doesnt look right and cant see how this is a sport, It doesnt have sport seats and looks a little higher than Mtec suspension also it looks like brilliant red to me and i thought that was only available on later e30s. No front fogs either. Strange :mad:

open the bonnet and check if the vin number is present in the channel in front of windscreen then see if it matches the vin plate behind drivers headlight area

if its ringed they would have filled over the vin infront of screen and just rivited new vin plate on

No, I mean the exact same physical bumper.

Both bumpers have had the exhaust cutout enlarged for some reason, and the chances of two cars having exactly the same enlarged cutout is very slim.

Just looked like the same bumper to me.
