Hi,thanks for accepting me on the Forum

Wonder if someone can help me regarding the 1987/8 E30 BMW 325i Shadowline badged 325is 

The Serial Chassis No is B00860886 and confirmed with the stamped no behind the front headlight.

Is there Letters missing as i cannot Identify the VIN on the Web as needs 17 digits.

Check RealOEM but Vin starting with 0086 is indeed shadowline.

Thank you. Lots off confusing things about a 325is ( badged) and what makes it a Shadowline. So Shadowlines are 5 bolt suspension then like the 1990 onwards BMW E30 325is ???

325is and 325i Shadowline are not the same car. The 325i Shadowline was never sold or badged as "325is" and shares very little with the 325is

Search the forum,plenty threads where this has been discussed
