a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2005 OK so we've sorta done the badging thing to death but I just came home and parked outside there's a "1993 320i M Series" - that's what it says on the LTNZ registration label. It has the full body kit incl. spoiler, M3 mags, the rear badge with no model designation and even has M3 mirrors. And, funnily enough, it's automatic. I thought we decided there was no such thing as an "M-series"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2005 Theres M series cars like the M3 and then there are cars that are normal BMW's with the optional Msport kit added to them for an addtional price, this is done before you get the car, as they are made to order. For example, my mum's 325i has an Msport kit on it. But it is still a 325i. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2005 Sure. But it's written on the registration ticket - 320i M series. Or can they fudge that as much as they like as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 438 Report post Posted November 14, 2005 You can write anything on a rego sticker. My convertible is a 325i IQW. Anyone tell me what that is? I filled out a form to re rego the Lexus and she told me it didn't exist as I had the brand and model wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 705 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 Its a real M. The real deal. Worth 3x as much as a normal 320i. Its also 3, maybe 3.2754x faster. In fact that sounds like one of the limited edition e30 shiezer models. I'd make an offer before the guy realises what he has. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1039 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 heh rang my insurance company last year to insure the car, and they asked if it was and 'm sport' I said ... wtf is an 'm sport' .. she said I have that model listed .. I said, you mean an M3 , she said no we have that too but an 'm sport' model .. I said err its a 330i .. thats it .. and there is no such thing as an 'm sport' I said you can get a 330i with a ///M badge on it that they did in japan to make the japs feel special or you can buy a model with the mtech kit on it but there is no 'm sport' model ... Insurance companies will try it on with anything :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic325i 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 MCMillan BMW when new as a 328 i/4 which suggests it is a standard spec 4 speed auto Normally the /4 refers to four door - auto would be 328 iA if anything. I'd guess that automatic 328's are all 5 speed anyway? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
