ACEofsnett posted:Single exhaust outlet. The 325 would have two. It's an M42 equipped 318i. Sidenote : hubcaps are quite rare on second generation (plastic bumper) E30 models. Which is odd because my 1991 318i had all 4 hubcaps, and another one for sale recently also in town had all four hubcaps as well.

_firehawk posted:My guess is a G8 wrecked in the rear mated to an imported Ute rear end. Then prettied up. Proportions looks right, that could be the real deal. Holden sold utes here in Australia with the G8 front end for a while after the export program stopped to clear their parts stock and then kept on doing it as they were quite popular. You'd struggle to make a pair of half cuts look that good, the Holden ute is unibody and sits on the LWB Zeta chassis, not the SWB one used on the Commodore/G8. e: Could be a dodgy import and VIN swap though.

Its LHD though, and I don't think Holden ever produced the ute for any LHD markets

A LHD conversion would be a piece of piss on a Zeta though, especially given that the G8 was sold over there.

Checking the vin says its a G8 GT. So its either a swapped vin or a hack job.autocheck posted:Country of Assembly: United States Lol, couldn't be more true.
