I think you guys have convinced me of my doubts .yes I don't mind having a car that needs a bit of work .but you are all right this is not the one .thanks again all .

My logbook don't say Motorsport on mine. I think it says limited edition.
I'll check later

Post Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:24 am

Log books could be altered to say whatever you wanted them to say up until recently. Plenty of snide Sports about with it on the logbook.

My old Sebring grey never had Motorsport on the logbook but the build sheet from Bmw told the truth. Take the vin number to a Bmw dealership and get the facts from new

The second batch of Motorsport convertibles which were Nagaro silver or Macau blue had the same style of interior but in silver grey leather.

The car in question, being a H reg it should be Sebring grey with Black bubble leather with black leather door cards and centre consoles and an electro hydraulic roof if its a genuine Motorsport.

Exactly the same as this one for sale.

my sebring grey motosport had a electric roof not electro hydro roof, the car was broken for spares on the forum a couple of years ago, i sold the complete interior to "bmw-mad" of this forum, i believe he has the interior on a colypso red cab, i still have the kit

IIRC the chancer selling this car had it listed up for £24,995 previously on Pistonheads.

Non-Motorsport interior, which looks really really worn and scruffy, polished with cockpit-shine.
Really dirty engine bay, which makes you question how well the current owner takes care of the car.
Slammed on cheap nasty springs.

The car was discussed on here when someone put up a link to the advert, but I can't find the thread now.

That's interesting as every bubble leather motorsport I've seen has had the EH roof.

Post Mon Sep 28, 2015 9:19 pm

None of my motorsport convertibles said 'mototsport' on the log book, but 325i Cabriolet, you need to run the VIN through BMW and if it is a genuine motorsport car from this batch it will come up with code 785, meaning it had nappa tex interior (bubble leather to you and me) which was unique to this batch and not an option on your average e30 convertible.

Post Mon Sep 28, 2015 9:32 pm

Did that today from my BMW technician and it was a 325i convertible that's all .as stated previously I have now pulled out but put deposit on a car from v.I.p cars on piston heads red 325i only 25 made in calypso red all paperwork verified by b.m.w pick up on 10 the October can't wait .if anyone wants to see it take a look on there web site over 40 pics..thanks all for your very informative posts .

Post Mon Sep 28, 2015 9:39 pm

Nice one elf, hope you get a good one, by the way i'm the guy who purchased your white car from you, and also your 18" Kahn wheels back in the day ;)

Post Tue Sep 29, 2015 5:28 pm

Post Tue Sep 29, 2015 10:58 pm

Lol Elf, small world, that calypso cab was one of mine years ago, I shall dig some old photos out, same last 3 digits, I'm unsure of the full plate, I sold it for £4200, prices are on the up, luckily I still have a Motorsport tucked away.

Post Wed Sep 30, 2015 6:26 pm

Did all motorsports have the pre facelift rear panel then? Something ive only just cottoned on to! Congrats on the new motor aswell elf

Post Wed Sep 30, 2015 6:56 pm

No, the last batch which were either Mauritius blue or calypso red with lotus white leather were full facelift cabrios.

Post Sun Oct 04, 2015 10:36 am

It was me that posted the original thread, but it does seem to have vanished?? Maybe the guy saw it (whilst waiting for his £80k new car to arrive) and complained to a mod? Weird..

Post Fri Oct 09, 2015 6:40 pm

So what price range do Motorsport convertibles fetch these days ?
Are many of them manual ?
I've always liked them.

Post Fri Oct 09, 2015 6:50 pm

Dulux?

I actually spoke to BMW and checked with them using the vin. The car is a motorsport. When I spoke to them - they could only really confirm less than half a dozen services, 2/3 iirc.
It DOES NOT HAVE A FULL SERVICE HISTORY.
Has had lots of owners!

I would personally avoid this car! Blatantly one which has had a shady past!

Post Tue Oct 13, 2015 9:21 am

You mean it does not have full DEALER service history. There is a difference, and the statement that it has full service history may well be true.

I'm guessing many owners opt out of the dealer services as a car gets older. Cabbies generally tend to have a high turnover of owners, which could explain the sparse number of dealer stamps?

I wouldn't buy this for many other reasons, not just the service history part.

Such as?

Post Tue Oct 13, 2015 9:47 am

The number of owners is a little too high for my liking. It's been pointed out that the interior is wrong, and I don't know what is used on the leather to give it that high gloss finish, but it's not nice. The mileage is too high. Roof looks like it will need replacing at some point. Rear lights? It's sitting very low.

The colour is superb though.

Post Tue Oct 13, 2015 3:39 pm

I think someone who doesn't know e30, s will buy this..and I thank all you guys for previous posts...the car I've now brought in show car section .has all m.o.ts states on first purchase receipt what it is .full history stamped and I am 5 the owner .yes I paid more .but if I brought this one to get it too original would have cost way more .
