Kam's right. According to the Resto'n Bible they will fit but just be aware if they are different capacities. Plastic bumper 325i sport and post-Sept '87 convertibles were the same size (63 litre). Earlies models were 55 litres. If 1987 is your year there might, just might, be a cross-over in capacities base on production runs, etc. Never mind, just make sure you keep the 320 fuel gauge with that tank: the sender units are the same apparently.

There's nothing 'sport only' about anything on a sport, except perhaps the black headlining.
Two different tanks fitted to E30s - 55 litre and 62 litre. The tanks themselves are physically interchangeable, but using the wrong one requires alterations to the plumbing, wiring and instrumentation.
