John Player Special 325i

Recommended Posts

hey lads, I know I've posted this before but I just can't find the old thread - I'm looking for as much info about the JPS 325i (black and gold e30) as possible. pics/videos/specs would be brilliant?

I'm toying with the idea of making a rough replica of some description, but need a helluva lot more info

Cheers!

Bit of both… :unsure: But is easier to blame you than admit incompetence :P

Anyway, back on topic.

The JPS car was a pre facelift 325i that was used before BMW introduced the M3 write??

yep, i think it only raced for 1 year, 1986. in australia?

my copy would not be exact, something a bit different from other race cars and cheaper than an m3, still with some fake heritage.

really, i just want an excuse to play with cars (like i need one!)

pic attached is one of the only ones i have

Not too slow just a sensibility check, dreams that were/are too big.

It's all so easy in your head....

At least you will be putting them to proper use conrad!!!

yep, traded them on some other race parts, including some 18" OZ wheels! They were no use to me as they were all 17"

it would be a dedicated track/rally/scum road car...havent really decided yet. still early days. those pics of the e30 m3 JPS are nice, they will be helpful if i can't get any info on the 325i

that bathurst vid and that 1 pic is about all i have, apart from some other grainy photos.

there is not a lot of info out there! does anyone know where the car resides?
