This looks quite promising, but do sports have the check interior as standard?

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/ ... le/1070163

obviously the "mature owner" had gash taste when it came to wheels, and gear nob.

and other than the electric tape in the engine bay, does this look worth the money?

not the greatest of write ups on the website!

That interior was stock on 318iS and some M3's in '89/90 ish....they are BMW sports seats NOT Recaro seats.

Other than that and those wheels,looks reasonable for the money.

Needs looking at in person,there's signs of rot where the battery sits on 'lesser' E30 and no piccies of the scuttle rot spot areas.

who knows, no rust spot pics or mention, dbout its a mature owner whos put them wheels and seats in, who knows what its like on inspection, bit that caught my eye was this...if you look above the light under the boot lid (which doesnt fit properly and a big gap) ,it looks like the top of the rear panel is rusty

have a look through jimbos thread, you should only buy a tech 1 if your prepared to take out the dash and carpets and all the sealant and have a proper refurb and rust hunt

i would imagine thats quite a crusty car in places, wrong wheels, seats etc more of a project

Just seems every time you see one, it's in bloody high wycombe, and there's always something that doesn't quite ring true
