QUOTE (Lurch @ Sunday, Jul 22 2012, 18:30) That has got to be the absolute cleanest batch of E30's I've ever seen. So many BBS, Alpinas, and Hartge wheels. Are the non-M3 E30's with the M badges the special 320is' and possibly even 333i's imported from SA or just normal 325is' with M badges stuck on. They look incredibly clean. There were about 3-4 320is's, but the rest just had the ///M badge since they were the M-Sport models.

Were there M-sport versions of E30's? I've never heard of one. I thought that whole trend didn't come along until The E34, E36, and E38. I thought sport models before that were just called 325is/535is/etc. I know the europeans had the M535i as well but I didn't really think the E30 had such an equivalent aside from normal sport models.

Yes, Europe did get the "M-TECHNIK / M-PAKET" E30s.

Most I see that I've googled don't have that M badge and just have an M-tech bodykit like every other sport model BMW made. It just looks like your version of our 325is. I know the UK just called it the 325i Sport. Most of those I see have no badge.

Aside from the M3 and 320is, being actual motorsports-built cars, what models should actually have the M badge on the grill? I know South Africa had the 333i and 325iS that were actually done by SA's motorsports division. I'm not sure what else though would actually be factory, and what would be stuck on.

From what I can tell though, I've still not found anything calling itself an M-Sport in the same way the latter models did.

Love the white corvette Lurch.

Is the Lotus 11 real or a replica?

[Lurch]

Replica. 15 actually, though they look identical to 11's. Had a 200 hp 3.8 gm v6 and only weighs 1500ish.
