an E plate with a Tech II kit ??

As ever, I could be wrong. Would rather a zoner didn't get their fingers burnt on this one.

Discuss.

My early tech 2 sport was on a e-plate
Not sure about convertibles though

[Jim320i]

All numbers are supplied to call BMW though... Maybe the kit was just fitted by a previous owner at a later date?

Looks tidy but I wouldnt bother with it as it has gears that you have to change whilst actually driving! What a odd idea...

I've seen a Tech II Sport on an F plate but never an E plate. Everyday is a schoolday.

doesn't look to bad.

E-plate e30s are weird - the 88MY cars have loads of little detail differences to the pre/post facelift cars, not least the 'bulseye' headlights that a lot of them have. Interestingly, this car has the non-projector lights though, which suggests to me it was a pre-88MY car. Could have had the kit fitted by Sytner though, or just later on in its life.

I think it may be a Sytner lash up C2.5 as opposed to a Buchloe built C2 2.5.

no cab got a tech 2 kit until late 1989/early 1990, when the 2nd phase motorsport cabs came out, they were in sebring grey and macau blue

it may be a c2 but the kits not original from 1988.

I checked online and this car is registered as being blue.....

I wouldn't necessarily read anything into that, we had an old Honda that the previous aged owner had had from new that was purple on the v5 - it's just what the tart who does the first registration puts on the form. You'd need to check it out if you were buying though.

[Topblag]

I'd suggest it'd be appropriate to infer a change of colour in it's life. It's very unusual in my experience that cars have an error in terms on the V5 for colour.

The add even states, that its Cirrus Blue..... Whats your point?

My bad, I assumed the car was silver and couldn't get past an E plate cab with a Tech II kit.

[nickso]

Folk always think Cirrus is grey, lost count of the amount of times I've heard that. To be fair if it is cirrus then his camera is shite.

How this guy thinks a mix of gunmetal grey and Dolphin makes it blue is beyond me though.

They were the third phase of Motorsports - the 1990 model year cars.

It certainly wouldn't have had the kit from the factory, but if it's a C2.5 as the plaque says, as opposed to a C2 2.5, then it's just a Sytners cosmetic exercise and God knows what they might have put on it.

[B7]

The CH number plate is classic sytner sign. Deffo tech 2 was added later. It'll have the Alpina Sport pack I would think. Cam / exhaust / ecu giving 192 brake.

Looking cheap at the month as well.

[Simon13]

its a real 2.5 conversion but the car i'm told by a well know source is a hound.

[Ilkorin]

Interestingly I've got a delphin grey car that is registered on DVLA as being blue. Had most of the interior out and it's definitely not ever been resprayed, unless it was completely stripped and re-primered again first...

DVLA person may have been slightly colourblind

[pukar]

this has been on PH for ages.....and i agree that tech II on an E is wierd, but people chuck stuff on their cars all the time and think it adds something....eyebrows for example

[Rodderz]

This car has been for sale for a long time. The current owner paid about 3k for it and has been trying to get about 6k for it! It has been the subject of quite a few threads on here, and yes, I think it's a pup!

Chalvey is abit of a givaway...

I am the well known source and yes, it is a sorry growler The deluded seller was looking for 8k at one stage !

[TPS]

I'm interested, but I've got to wait for my bonds to mature first, then I'll be 'round to collect.

[adit]

i always thought that if it was a pre-facelift, it shouldn't have a Tech2 kit from the factory. simples

[TPS]

Yeh, same here.

[e30_mtec]

This is a zoners car ... Needs rescuing

[cecotto479]

The third run Motorsports - the 1990 model year "bubble leather" cars were pre facelift shells with tech 2 kits nailed on at the factory.

[zaust]

If you look carfully the rear bumper ends are sitting in the wrong place. Not level with the rear arch. Thats most likly the reason for no side on shot's in the add.

[e30topless]

once a proud chariot ?
the M'tech Lash-up is always a put off on a pre-face cab, it would look much better in standard form

[RM2186]

I have an E plate 325i SE moredoor SA built that has Tech 2 front and rear and Pfeba sideskirts.

[Rodderz]

Cirrus Blue and the Tech2 bodykit just don't go together IMO!

E plate could be a facelift?

bubble leather was in the 2nd phase and were macua or sebring tech 2 kit and early spec arse
