Juzzie Wuzzie 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 FTR I had a E30 four door Sport - now with a 2.8. Don't get confused between Motorsport and Sport - they are definitely different. Cheers, J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E34er 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 E34 is easy check under the hood....look for the Motorsport label on the twin cam tappet cover, the car usually has M5 badges on it dont think its twin cam plugs on side of motor,rocker cover is wide and flat kinda like a crossflow falcon,its a uk import service booklet says 535i sport. 1-8-89 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E34er 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 also do the uk cars have cats,it seems to have mufflers just about the length of the car,the front one has smaller pipes running in and out each end of it (i want to remove it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) it may not have cats,i think the poms were fairly late on the unleaded petrol game too.Dont worry you have a completely normal 535 with a few bits added,if it is a sports it should be very similar to mine,rxsumo and a coupla others here too.we all forgot the single biggest difference.It should also have a LSD.

Carl 3 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) My 2c but what people here are calling a m325i should be called a 325is. As Darryl sort of said the M should be saved for the proper "Motorsport" cars, ie, stuff that came out of the Motorsport factory. And just to clarify, don't confuse a 325is with a 318is or 320is as these are rare twin cam engines, the 320is being rarer then m3's E: Also, the true E28 M535 was a Motorsport built car with the same 3.5 engine that went in the M1, really should've been called the M5 Edited March 12, 2006 by Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 There's a Ti in the carpark here which has '2004 Motorsport' on the licence label, but no other ID badges on it. As its only got a single exhaust, I'm assuming a 318? Personally, I can't see a single feature on the car which tells me its a Motorsport model... it all seems a bit 'ghey' as some people would put it.

Guest Spargo Report post Posted March 13, 2006 Licence labels don't mean sh*t. I saw an NZ new motorsport with the tag "325i H-Sport" once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
