The E30 range was launched at the end of 1982 and eventually encompassed everything from four-wheel drive saloons to elegant convertibles and even a racing homologation special, the first M3. However, for those who wanted a sporting performance car with power and good handling but which was suitable for everyday use, there was the 325i Sport two-door with M-Technic body kit and suspension.

This specification was deleted from the market for 1988 but returned with a new style in 1989 and hence was known as the M-Technic 2 body kit. The car modelled here was a BMW press and publicity car.lete.
