Re: Bobbies V.s Cops.
I'm not sure about the model name, I'm not really into BMW's but I do know they were developed by BMW SA and a few came to the UK, I saw one in my local BMW dealership in the mid to late eighties, it had the engine from the 733...fast car!

"1984-1990 333i - 3.2 L M30 I6, 197 hp (145 kW) - South Africa "
As I said..South African market. The reason the 333 went to S. Africa was that BMW wouldn't market the M3 there for some reason.

Re: Bobbies V.s Cops.
If my aging memory serves me right Alpina of Germany was involved! I owned a 730i in the early 90's, lovley car, not sporty and could have done with more power...i'm more into American muscle at the moment, small car-huge engine! fast in a straight line but not as good round corners, but that's not a problem, there are no corners over here!

Re: Bobbies V.s Cops.
How is it "like you said" when I said this?:
When they were infact made for the South African market and literally a handful may have been imported to the UK (more than likely by dealers or buyers themselves and not by BMW Gmbh).
As I said..it's a South African model.
