Yep.Just look at the back bumper compared to the front.It should look the same ish !
Still a nice car though mate,just try and get a used front bumper,ive seen a few on here over the last few months.

[slinky2000]

cheers mate, I thought I'd done a fair bit of research ont hem before I bought one but obv not enough, lol.

first things first thoguh, a nice big service before crimbo just to make sure everythings AOK

[Conan]

I'd check its sport on t he V5 - bit strange it not having a sport bumper.

Suppose its just had a bump at the front at some time.

[Julian_Jules]

great looking ride, mate.....drool!

how about some interior and engine bay shots!

and yes, I saw that little man image too.....but guess it's just a reflection.....or is it?

Probably had a twat at some point.New tech2 bumpers arent cheap.i think £300 from bmw.

[slinky2000]

I'll check tonight lads, just to be sure, and try to get some interior shots

[Pal318is]

Great Looking car there bud...Looks truely immaculate

Got the last picture saved on file now...Excellant shot

Pal

[phil-ray]

just thought i would log in and let people know the little man in the reflection of the window is me. and i took the pics as well

very nice sport it is

[slinky2000]

just checked the log book and all the old MOT's they all say sport

heres an interrior shot. I think it orgionally had a cloth interior but someone has put leather into it I think. maybe you guys can identify it better than me. the rears are leather aswell



oh and was that steering wheel the standard one on tech 2 sports? I know the gearknob isnt, lol

[maxfield]

aint no tech 2 steering wheel

[E30Adam]

Those steering wheels didn't come on sports. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a copy.

One tell take sign is the head lining. All sports have a black headlining and non sport headlinings are beige.

[phil-ray]

its got black headling.

dont think someone would change the head lining when trying to make a look alike, would they?.

any other things that come standered on sports? and not on normal 325's

[slinky2000]

its deof not beige, its dark grey/black

[buster]

An LSD.
Interior light delay.
Close ratio gearbox.

People do change the headlining but it's a tricky job.

[slinky2000]

right, I'm gonna have to test the lsd next time I've the sport out, just to be safe sure the log book says sport which is a fairly good indication.

I think I'll get the VIN checked out my bmw aswell just to be safe

[slinky2000]

rear seats:

[buster]

very nice mate,you have an M3 interior

[slinky2000]

an e30 m3?

[buster]

yep.The back seat has a 2 seat cut outs and the front seats match with them all having horizontal stiching instead of vertical like on the normal sport seats.

[slinky2000]

nice gonna have to get the leather a good clean up some day aswell. I read a good guide somewhere

[Adammcf]

Looks good. Glad you got a decent one at last! Nice rear seats although you wont have the fun of making someone in the back slide from one side to the other when you kick the tail out.

[slinky2000]

will be fun getting three in the back, lol

[slinky2000]
