Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition

[AWDBOB]

So what's the difference? Pretty sure my '90 says isA or iA or something. One of the stickers does at least.

In '89 for whatever reason, 325i non-iS coupes had 325iS/A on the door jam ID sticker, which has led several 325i '89 coupes on BAT over the years to be listed as 325iS models. The tell is usually manual sunroof and 6 button OBC, as all iS cars had power sunroof and 13 button OBC, among other things.

That blue car above is a good example of a non-iS car being sold as a true iS.

In '90 they changed it so 325i coupes were listed as 325iA on the sticker instead of 325iS/A. '90 325iS cars still had "325is" on the sticker.

In the garage atm and can only confirm that I'm an idiot - I was thinking of the tire pressure sticker on mine, which says "BMW 325i/A USA", but the VIN sticker does say "325is-2"

I havent really, but feel free to add them. I wont be tracking them on sale prices, but worth sharing cars here for people who might be in the market

If you insure your car thru Hagerty, they track all the auction prices for you and they show the value trends based on car condition. For example:

pretty sure the "koni" strut brace in the listing is a garagistic with a koni sticker.
