West 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Hey guys Thought I would say hi. I have a 1990 E30 325i sedan in dark grey/black. Its got a 3 litre Supra 2JZ engine and gearbox in it, fully certed. Now it has the M sport seats in leather, and a pinstripe with the ///M on it... Will that mean its some sort of motorsport version? I'm kinda new to BMWs. I'm loving it though, great fun to drive.

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Welcome, sounds like a nice car. put some pics up. as to whether it is a motorsport or not is subject to much debate and the answer is what defines a motorsport model other than it left the factory with the m badge on the boot and some motorsport options.

bravo 35 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Was watching that auction. Looked to be a good car. I wasn't a motorsport bu sounds like it has the motorsport seats out of another BMW (AFAIK e30 motorsport seats never got the m-striping but the m5 and m6 did?? I'll stand corrected though).

West 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 The seats look original, as they match the black leather of the back seats. They dont have any M sport emblem on them. They are SO comfortable though! And have a thigh support adjustment. I'll get some pics up soon so you can see it. Exterior has a few scratches etc, but what do you expect from a 1990 car. The colour is awesome- I think it maybe called diamond schwartz metallic?? One of the nicest factory colours I've seen. Haha, would love to turbo it but that costs a bucket load of money. At the moment, it feels nicely balanced- Not crazily overpowered, but good useable power with heaps of torque. And nicely balanced, the 2JZ is a bit lighter than the original 2.5 that was in it.

West 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2007 Running Supra Gearbox. The shifter is positioned a little further back than the usual place. Will get some engine pics too. Was going to when I took the other ones, but the bloody camera battery died! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 3 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Sounds similar to Glen's setup, he'd tell you what it is if he wasn't off overseas somewhere, his is in an E30 323 with the twin turbo 2ZJ supra engine, supra gearbox, and I believe supra diff aswell although not sure. Is a f'ing rocket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
