in South Africa they didn't get the M3 so they specced up a 325i with some fruit and called it a 325iS
Bonnet, door skins and front wings are imported aluminium alloy. Car weighs 1147 kg with PAS, air con, electric windows, LSD, leather.
The suspension is Full M3 gear with alpina sways.
Engine is an early spec Alpina C2 2.7 motor - td crank, with alpina rods and pistons, with a stock 325i head, and a cam of unknown spec, its racier than a stock 325i cam, but less than a genuine alpina cam. Motor was produced alongside the alpina motors also. Modified motronic management.
500 produced in 03/1990, known as a 325iS.
in 03/1991 and 05/1991 there were two more batches produced, known as the 325iS Evo. Both identical batches.
But, informally, the 1990 cars are known as Evo 1's and the 1991 cars are known as Evo 2's.
The Evo 2 spec differs in that they returned all all steel body parts, had an adj front splitter under the m-tec 2 front, the engine was the full alpina motor, with alpina head, using larger valves, cam and standalone alpina management. They also got an M30 throttle body and AFM.
Power for the Evo 1 was 194hp and 265Nm, Evo was 204hp and 270Nm.
Jason, i think your cassette holder could be from an e36 (mine had that exact one.)
Well that explains why i never see one . I was just walking around the junk yard and seen the console in the car with the hole, then looked in the trunk and seen the holder. It fit in the console so i took it.
