Congrats and many happy miles:bravo:

That car looks damn clean and original, looks like only thing that's been added is the sharkfin I don't think they came out with it.

Did you get it within your price range and what's the mileage?

Looks so clean! Congrats! Curious to know how/where you found such a clean specimen :) such things don't exist on online classifieds.

Thank you so much guys :)

Its got 151000km. 1998 model. FSH with BMW. Very clean and straight. Immac interior. Picked it up for R52500

There are some very minor things to be done, like the reverse lights do not work (im guessing its the switch) the brake light bulb mount seems to be a bit loose, so the light comes on now and then, and the A pillar mouldings have its clips broken.

Oh and i broke the sunroof a few minutes ago and im super pissed with myself.

You're right, the guy thought it would look cool with a sharkfin. I need to take that nonsense out!

Nothing wrong with sharkfin, it looks ok. Unless you want to put it back to original.

How did u break the sunroof?

I love for the car to be original :) the cd shuttle doesn't read the discs and i refuse to put in an aftermarket system. I will either get this repaired or get an OEM replacement.

Well, the sunroof was opened in tilt mode, and when i closed it, i heard a breaking sound lol, on inspection, the left side plastic clip thing broke, so the horizontal rail does not action the tilting arm. Agents price is R500 for that part!

Start a "wanted" thread, maybe a fanatic has one lying around. I hope u find the shuttle. Good luck finding it.

Doesn't the Motorsport have extra splitters in the the front?

Congrats on scoring yourself an original, most floating around gumtree are replicas being sold as originals...


Hell, even my white one is a replica as it left the factory as a 1993 316i and way before the Motorsport I and II were introduced. I built it up to motorsport spec bar the seats.

Get the vin number and enter it into realoem.com, will tell you if its factory or replica.

Would Realoem state Motorsport? I just checked a Motorsport I vin and no mention of Motorsport. Just curious

Yeah it does. The previous owner took them out because of the speed bumps. I may also not put them on. I have plans to lower the car.
