Sounds like it could be a genuine sport with that spec- have a look in the V5

i got a 94 525 sport in granite,staggered type 32 wheels,heated leather,ac,cruise etc,no probs apart from knocking drop links ...10 quid each and simple to replace.decent on fuel if drove sensibly 28-34 mpg.i love it.
plaggy fuel tanks so no probs there.m50 is leak free at 144k :cool: .the steering can get "loose",but an amount can be adjusted if its the steer box.great cars .



think id like to try an e38 728 sport next.
