@gjm The NZ m325i was definitely a factory car - the black headliner was never an E30 option, so it could never have been a dealer-prepared. Option codes have shifted over the years, what was an option code back in 1990 might come up as something different in 2023. Here's a pricelist from '89 for reference. Also for reference here are most of the E30 option codes: 199 - Equipment for leaded fuel 200 - Catalytic convertor 206 - 5spd sport transmission 209 - LSD (25%) 215 - Power steering 222 - Electronic damper control 225 - Sports suspension 240 - Leather steering wheel 270 - Audiosystem US 286 - 14” Weaves 288 - 15” Weaves 289 - 16” M3 Weaves 296 - TD-LM/200/60x365 300 - Central locking 301 - Alarm system 308 - Locking glovebox 311 - Electric passenger mirror 314 - Heated washer nozzles / Drivers door lock 320 - Badge delete 326 - Rear spoiler delete 330 - Japan Sport Pack 333 - M Technic sport pack (M-Tec I) 335 - M Technic sport pack (M-tec II) 339 - Shadowline 350 - Green tinted glass 351 - Brown tinted glass 354 - Green stripe windscreen 359 - Visibility pack 361 - Hinged rear windows 400 - Manual sunroof 401 - Electric sunroof 410 - Electric windows, front (coupe) 411 - Electric windows all round (4dr) 415 - Sunblind for rear window 423 - Velour floor mats 428 - Warning triangle 464 - Ski bag 481 - Front sport seats 494 - Seat heating 497 - Centre arm rest in rear 498 - Rear head rests 500 - Headlight wash system 510 - Headlight beam throw control 520 - Foglights 530 - Air conditioning 535 - Electronic temperature control 540 - Cruise Control 545 - Tachometer / kph speedo 548 - KPH speedo 551 - OBC II with remote control 562 - Map reading lights 570 - Stronger electricity supply 675 - Premium audio 680 - Holder for aluminium cases (?) 681 - Roof antenna (M3) 682 - Automatic antenna 687 - Radio preparation 690 - Cassette holder 704 - M Technic suspension 708 - M Technic II Steering wheel 728 - Edition ZV 750 - Basis for comprehensive edition 790 - M3 Evolution (M3) 792 - Small Motorsport package (M3 Evo II) 795 - Special Model 89 (M3 Ravaglia) 804 - Switzerland version 806 - NZ preparation / 3rd stop light 807 - Japan preparation 810 - Australia preparation 812 - England version 813 - France version 814 - Italy version 819 - Spain version 823 - Hot climate version 827 - Scandinavia version 829 - Convertible conversion preparation 850 - Fuel added for export 853 - Language version English 854 - Language version French 855 - Language version Italian 856 - Language version Spanish 860 - LTRL TURN SIGNAL LIGHT FRT 899 - Export vehicle 915 - Only conserves soil? 925 - Shipping protection package 945 - “Captivating.

Not really sure I understand the question? Should be fairly black and white - if the spec sheet has option code 333 for an mt1, and 335 for an mt2 it's an m325i. All of the m325i goodies were also a either factory option, or available as dealer retrofit aside from one, which is the black headliner - it wasn't even listed as an option if you run the vin of an m325i, so if it's got the headliner, you can be fairly sure you're looking at the genuine article.

FTFY To be fair though, the side profile is one of the least offensive angles of it. the front and rear are both 🤮🤮
