Re: gulf spec 850 csi (archive)

Thanks Guys
I had a good look at this last night and I am looking at a sheep in wolf's clothing.
Someone has done a good job of making it look the part (round pipes, the mirrors, badging etc) but it aint the real thing, I may still buy as the guy had not tried to pass it as a CSI it was me getting carried away with the badging, it is pretty common here to do this kind of thing, it is immaculate and has a full SH from BMW, 80k km for around $10k.

BMW did not make an Auto CSi. Though the car might have been retrofitted with a automatic. Alpina's had auto's available...
Other visual clues are; Round tailpipes, ///M instrument cluster and sills. Mirrors and bodykit( many Ci and i's have this also though...) As a Euro Spec car it will also have active rear wheel steering, check for this as well (I believe that this was available as an option on the Ci too..)
Make sure you do your homework on this one... :)
Regards
Carl
