That is no Tech 1 chap.

They didn't come in "Zinnoberrot red"

They didn't come with comfort seats

They didn't come with chrome (Shadowline trim as standard)

Is the headliner cream? That's wrong

The steering wheel is wrong....

O and the final touch? New Zealand didn't get a 'Tech 1 sport' :D

Quite a cool car, think it has the early BMW aerodynamic kit made by Pfeba. The OBC mentioned doesn't seem to exist, hopefully there's better news for the LSD...

The Kiwis don't salt their roads so it might not be rotten, hopefully it hasn't been in Scotland for too long.

Indeed, but there's a good chance that it will have intact inner arches/jacking points/bulkhead etc

Unlike certain Tech 1 sports...

Unless I'm being blind, nowhere in the ad does it say 325i Sport.

M tech 1 it does say, which it is not. As theo says, it's got the early BMW aero kit, which is odd as that predates the tech 1 kit and is normally fitted to pre sept '85 cars.
