Hi there can you tell me if there is any service history with the car and does it have tax and mot and for how long , and how long you have had the car also is it needing anything done to it, and is there any pictures ? [e-mail]. I have a e34 m5 le but i,m looking for something as a daily driver but with a wee bit of class. I have been offered an e28 estate but its to much and in germany too. Oh where is the car located aswell, I won,t waste your time or mine if the car is all correct a can make you an offer and drive it away . Regards paul

RHD Import is most likely to be South African? If you go to sell it you need to check the chassis numbers and engine codes. A SA, Japan or other RHD BMW may be badged the same as euro cars but they are really not underneath, different engines for starters

[cobbler2u]

sorry don't understand your answer. Its still a 325 e30. Car has been in this country for over 10yrs log book states 325. Bmw I don't think will go through the trouble of putting different engines for certain exported country's.

Can you PM details please?

[cookwibble]

Wellllll.....actually there are a massive variety of engines in E30's dependent on market but badged the same across the world.

Eg

Euro 325's can be the 2.5 170bhp or the 2.7 "e" version with 120bhp
North America 325's can be one of 4 different engine/drivetrain configurations all different from Euro setups
South African 325's can be the 2.7e or the "iS" versions which are up there with the Euro M3 as far as power is concerned with a 2.7ltr

If its an Import I'd check the chassis codes and engine codes, you could be sitting on a 325iS imported from South Africa which will be worth literally £1000's more than a UK 325i

Pics would be useful. If its an 87, it would probably be an early facelift with pre facelift high compression engine, which is a better more torquey motor than later facelift cars. The ECU part number is an easy identifier. If its been in the UK 10 years, the usual E30 corrosion issues will need looking at. If its a 3 door, good spec SE (LSD, sports leather, factory rims such as BBS), or Sport, it'll be worth a few bob if its not a rotbox.

Hi
I'm keeping the car at the mo. It came from south Africa with air con / recaros etc in Swartz Black .
The good thing is No Rust on car at all

So pls lock thread.
