///Msport 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 well, theres 325is ( all the american ones and uk ones etc.) which are just m325's without kits most of them, but theres a very unique "sport" model which we wont go into as its a long discussion but its inbetween as good as a M325 and a M3 ( high compression pistons, dog-leg box, etc. etc. ) but M325's are better in my opinion than any 325is, hope that helps u out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted May 12, 2004 If it's a high comp sport, worth mega bucks, if it's a UK Sport, more than ours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
318i Turbo 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 when i brought it i thort it was a bit weird cause the m badge was on the left side of the boot not with the 325i but thats no biggie but the dash is all in miles. i have now figuered the car was brought in to nz in 94 from bournemouth in uk somewhere, in the service book and a insurance book it is refured to as a 325i sport its an 87 and has all the m-tec 1 kit, so how can i tell the diffrence between a high comp sport and a uk sport, thanx for ur help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or answer the following questions in the affirmative: 1. it has a 5-speed dog-leg (1st is down) gear box 2. it has Recaro (sports) front seats 3. it is two door 4. it has a limited slip differential I think, however, from memory that Sports were 88 (i.e facelift) onwards, but I could be wrong!
