I have recently purchased a 1990 325i mtech saloon!!! i spent a great deal of time looking for the perfect car , so i dropped some coin and had my car shipped from japan to canada. (easyer that i thought!)
The car is mint, 65000 km, all service history from bmw, 1 owner! only thing missing is the sport seats!!! (he sold them for some insane price(3500usd).
It has factory mtech suspension, exhaust and mtech2 bodykit.
What i find odd is i have spent many hours on this site and found very few other saloons let alone mtech ones! is my car really that rare?
or are the not that popular to modd?
any pics or direction to other owners would be great.
i will post some pics when i get home in a few months.

thanks

Hi cmac, welcome to the zone. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by an m-tech saloon. I'm guessing you mean 325i sport, in which case they're anything but rare, at least on this site! Does it have a black headlining and lsd? An E30 saloon is any E30 that isn't a convertible or tourer, and there certainly isn't a shortage of them!

Tut tut!

The bentley manual is available through the zone http://www.e30zone.co.uk/index.php
on the left of the page.

You can buy the proper manual though from the dealers, though it is a reprint.
