One of just 500 right-hand-drive Evolution II examples built for the UK market, produced in 1989 as a limited homologation special for touring car competition
Fitted from the factory with uprated suspension, aggressive bodykit, closer-ratio gearbox, and an enhanced 2.5-litre M20 straight-six
Advisory-free MOT until 16th November 2026
The Appeal
The E30 325i Sport Evolution II is among the rarest and most focused expressions of BMW's celebrated third-generation 3 Series. Built in 1989 as a limited-run homologation special for touring car competition, it received an uprated suspension, an aggressive body kit, a closer-ratio gearbox, and a subtly enhanced version of the 2.5-litre M20 straight-six: the same rev-hungry, beautifully balanced unit that made the standard 325i such a driver's car. Just 500 right-hand-drive examples were produced for the UK market. Unmodified survivors are increasingly scarce, and values have moved decisively upward as collector appetite for the finest E30 variants continues to grow.
This car replicates that rare South-African spec model to a very high standard. You would be hard-pressed to realise it isn't the genuine article; this isn't just some rebadged 3 Series. It comes with advisory-free MOT until 16th November 2026 and looks to be in very good condition throughout.image.png3.54 MB
