When it became clear that South Africa would not be getting the M3, the
325iS was created. Initially this was the same concept as the 325i Sport
available in other markets; merely a 325i 2-door fitted with a body kit
and a close-ratio gearbox (improving acceleration at the expense of top
speed and economy). This model was available in 1989. However, consumers
quickly demanded more performance, and in 1990 the EVO I was released.
This model was a radical redesign of the car, featuring aluminium body
panels, brakes and suspension from the M3, and a larger 2.7l engine
sourced from Alpina, capable of 197hp. A limited number were produced to
allow for homologation into saloon car racing. In 1991, a further update
saw the release of the EVO II. While some of the body panels reverted
back to steel, the engine saw even more performance with the addition of
parts from the E28 535i, pushing power up to 210hp. Unlike the 333i
where the options were fog lights or Air Conditioning , all 325is's were
fitted with both. All cars were fitted with BBS X Spoke wheels
