Ok here's one for the pro's.
I bought a 1990 325i, I have all the paperwork to show it was imported into the uk from south africa about 3 years ago, the car does not say sport on the log book and it has not got a slipper however it has the mtec 2 kit and a black roof lining, is it a sport or not? How do I tell
cheers

are the wheels 5 stud? does it go like sh!t off a shovel?

has it a small black splitter attached to the front spoiler/valance? It sticks out about an inch

Air con? it's Evo or an Evo2. For your sake i hope it's an Evo2!

before simon spunked all over the screen he ment to welcome you to the zone...

If its a south African car is bound to be way better than a UK sport.

Does it say 325is by chance? Should be a 2.7...

Yo dude,

I am from SA, there are very subtle differences.. not so easy to spot is that the doors, fenders are aluminium.
It's a 5 stud.
Why don't you run it head to head with the UK version, evo1 or 2 you will kill him for sure. There was no front splitter on either models and it does say "325is"
Is your airflow meter larger than the UK version ?
