[MONSPORT42]

Just read all 5 pages of this thread trying to find someone older. Didn't find one though. Anyone top 56?
PS: Anyone got a genuine MTech Senatagen dispenser in Diamond Black?

[Nelly]

Monsport, some one told me you have an auto sport??is this right??

[MONSPORT42]

Hi Nelly, Yep mines an auto. See Members E30s - 327 section - Mal's Autosport. Still waiting for updated pictures and spec tho.

[bullitt]

Im 35

But my girlfriend is only 21..

[Nelly]

Hi Nelly, Yep mines an auto.

Do you know how many of these auto sports where produced and their current market value in standered form??

The only reason i ask is because i've been offered one for Ԛ£1900 in excellent condition.

PS, sorry for the hyjack - still feeling 16 @ 30 LOL

[MONSPORT42]

The figures given in the previous thread are correct as far as I know, so about 10% of overall production were autos

Neil - these are the figures I have:

1986 - 352 Manuals - 30 Autos
1987 - 1320 Manuals - 106 Autos
1988 - 208 Manuals - 29 Autos
1989 - 1236 Manuals - 199 Autos
1990 - 812 Manuals - 110 Autos
So 474 (ish)

A lot of these will have died so logic tells me they are now rare.
Are they desirable? If you are going to keep it standard and like autos they are a great car. Ԛ£1900 for a Sport in good condition is a good price - not cheap, but good. BMW only produced 10% in auto and I'm sure they researched the potential demand. I don't suppose that demand has changed that much so it might be harder to sell later on.
In my opinion Sport autos in standard form are not as immediately responsive as a manual on standing starts and town sprints. The engine is 'over square' so the torque converter tends to soak up the power. Once rolling and for higher speed driving there's little or no difference.
If you are looking to develop one for maximum performance and or use on the track, go for a manual.
I have the 2.7 engine in mine which is 'under-square' (high torque)so uses less revs to achieve it's power so the torque converter soaks up less and it reaches the tarmac very effectively. Its a great conversion for an auto.

[Nelly]

Thanks for the reply Monsport, much appreciated.

[mikw]

35..........

and still counting, on my 3rd BM now, E34 525i 24v.
