Hi there to all,

Sport
Exterior - Mtech body kit
Engine is the same but has a different gear box (shorter gears for more accel) and LSD as standard
Every thing else is pretty much the same..... as far as i know

As far as i know

Thanks for the reply mate
Do you have a part number for that 325I Sport gearbox and for the Limited Slip Diff?
Cheers

Interior black headlining.

Depends whether it's a facelift or pre-facelift sport too - minor redesign in late 1987.

This lists the differences in the model specs.... http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... nespec.htm

The main differences between the 325i and 325i Sport are the suspension (25mm lower, Mtech stuff on the Sport), the gearbox (close ratio 1st, 2nd & 3rd on the Sport), the diff (LSD on the Sport), the black head lining, the 15" BBS wheels and the other Mtech goodies - body kit, steering wheel etc.
AFAIK, all of the above with the exception of the black head lining (or so Ive been told) could be specced on any new E30 from the dealer.
