Is there anyway I can check to see if my Australian built Bmw 325is is genuine? Ive tried the VIN in TIS and realoem but it doesn't list it as a (IS).

The Australian 325is was just a high specced 325i, so not really a model in its own right, more akin to the UK sport.
If its anything like our sports, the logbook isn't that reliable and won't show a difference on real oem.
Best bet would be, bring the VIN to BMW Australia?

Pretty much! Even tech 1/2 kits could be optional extras for 325 non sport/ non 325IS
