1991 BMW 325I Sport

• First registered on 08/04/1991, this is one of the last Sport examples produced
• UK-supplied with the M-Tech2 package, its list of M-Sport upgrades is impressive
• Powered by the legendary 171bhp M20 2494cc straight-six, good for 132 mph and 0-60 in 9.9 seconds
• With a full book pack and comprehensive history, its full tool kit, and in completely original condition this is a great opportunity for a collector or BM enthusiast
• Offered at No Reserve, this 325i (E30) is a fantastic opportunity to own one of the best sporting saloons of the early nineties

Compact rear-wheel drive saloons were in short supply in the 1980's and consequently, the E30 quickly stood out as something special, being lightweight, refined, and offering unparalleled driving pleasure. The range-topping M3 is now rightly one of the most sought-after sports cars of the last 30 years and can command in excess of ú100,000.

With the success of the M3, BMW capitalised on the demand for more sporting E30s, and in 1986 gave the market the '325i Sport', a 2-door only model with numerous 'M-Tech' upgrades from BMW's Motorsport Division. These included an M Technic body-kit and boot spoiler, Anthracite headlining (unique to the 325i Sport), a limited-slip differential, M Technic suspension (15mm lower springs and Boge M Technic shock absorbers) and a 5-speed ZF close-ratio gearbox. The car is powered by the legendary M20 2494cc straight-six engine giving 171bhp and 164 lb-ft of torque, good for 132 mph and 0-62 mph time of 9.9 seconds, decently quick but it's really the whole driving experience that impresses so much.

This example is a 1991 BMW E30 325i Sport (Tech-2), UK-supplied, right-hand drive car supplied by David Prentice (Cars) Ltd to Mr Purcell of Northern Ireland, finished in Alpine White and first registered on 8th April 1991. According to the service records, the car was diligently serviced by its first owner before being sold, in 1995, to a gentleman from Cardiff who apparently only used it occasionally. He, in turn, passed it on to a Mr Watts, a senior Army Officer who was stationed in Germany. All the BM's owners appear to have regularly serviced the car, mostly at main dealers with some specialists, and all of this is detailed in the car's extensive history file. In summary, this smart 325 has been enjoyed by four previous keepers and currently has covered 89,300 miles.

The car is accompanied by a full book-pack, original paperwork and tool kit. This is one of the last 325 Sports built and is highly desirable, eminently usable and in excellent condition. The market for sporting E30s continues to strengthen and this lovely example, at No Reserve will soon be off to a new home.
