Hi
I am located in the North west. the car that i am getting has the same front screen as yours with the sun strip on the top of the screen.
I have just got home a somebody from the North Of Ireland has bought my 318is.He is from the same place as me back home.The email he sent me come across that he deals in e30 buys them here then take them back home via the ferry back to N I. He says that he would also buy my 325i convertible whats the trend over there now i have heard alot of people selling there cars and the cars going back to ireland north or south.
I hope he does not waste my time he says he is going on holiday and wont be back untill next week but will fly over next friday to sort it out.
I am also very confused as to why my 325 convertible is not selling as it very cheap and with all the money i have spent on it surely people know that its a good buy,what going on.

Now I'm confused too....

I was told the 325M convertible had the m tech suspension, oil cooler, lsd, 4 headrest interior and was available as a 'supplied' car.

I was also told that the 325 Motorsport convertible was a ltd edition 325M only available in Macau blue and silver with the body kit.

I've just bought a nice 325 and it says 325M on the sevice book. It has the m tech suspension, oil cooler, lsd, 4 headrest Tan interior, m tech steering wheel and knob but no body kit. (I was told this was an optional extra) It's very dark grey metallic..almost black....

It might just be a well spec'd car, but it's oozing M'ness. It's totally original and unmolested. And it goes like stink an sticks like glue.... I love it already ... half the price of a motorsport with all the same important bits..

I'll get a spec sheet printed at Bmw..thanks for the tip.

What you have mate isn't a Motorsport.

4 colours, Calypso Red is the only colour Motorsport not in anybody signitures pictures on this thread.

Sounds like your car had some M-tech extras.

There is one slight exception thay made a few chrome/colour coded Macau bumpered Motorsports which is Woody's.

Cheers Gareth.

Looks a very nice motor as it is, lovely colour too and the tan leather kinda works well....save your pennies and just enjoy driving it. OK returning to original spec may make it more desirable on resale but the mirrors and the leather trim look good. However if you do need any contacts for paint, mechanics etc, around Liverpool area, give us a pm as i've routed out a few decent places over the years.

Yeah cheers guys over the moon with the car,took some nice pics over the weekend and wanted to post them but it just was not happening.
My car as not got and lsd according to the spec sheet.
I have started cleaning her now little by little as i will not be useing her for awhile not untill i get the diff sorted.
It booked in friday for an oil service and a diff oil change i just hope that its got no oil.
The alpinas are genuine and in very good condition.That pic was taken outside my gym and it was wet and raining so she looks a 100% better in the flesh.

Cheers
Ryan.
