The answer arrived in 1985 with the E30 333i, a uniquely South African homologation special developed for the production car-based Group 1 racing series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Group 1 was cancelled in 1985 before the 333i could properly prove itself on track, BMW SA continued production until 1987. Just 204 units were built, or 205 including the pre-production car, making the 333i one of the rarest and most desirable E30 derivatives ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis particular example is Car Number 34, adding another layer of provenance to an already significant car. It is also the first air-conditioning-optioned 333i we have offered for sale, making it a standout example for Creative Rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the bonnet sits the legendary 3.2L M30B32 straight-six, sourced from the E23 733i and paired with a short-ratio 5-speed dogleg Getrag gearbox and ZF limited-slip differential. Due to the tight fit of the big six-cylinder engine in the E30 bay, buyers had to choose between air conditioning or power steering. This example was ordered with air conditioning and no power steering, keeping that old-school, analogue driving feel firmly intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinished in Henna Red with a beige leather interior and riding on 16-inch Alpina wheels, this 333i remains largely original, with some cosmetic work carried out over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRare, numbered and proudly South African, this BMW 333i is more than just an E30. It is a genuine homologation legend and an important piece of BMW SA performance history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 1985 | Make BMW | Model 333i E30 | Mileage 141696 Km | Paperwork Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2L M30B32 Inline 6 | 5-Speed Dogleg Gearbox\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exterior Henna Red, Interior Beige Leather\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDealer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creative Rides, Cnr Main Rd \u0026amp; Posthouse St, Bryanston, Sandton, 2191\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:16px;font-size:0.95em;\"\u003eAvailable to buyers across South Africa — including \u003cstrong\u003eJohannesburg\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDurban\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePretoria\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eGqeberha (Port Elizabeth)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:20px;border-top:1px solid #ddd;padding-top:10px;font-size:0.9em;color:#666;\"\u003eListed by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.creativerides.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCreative Rides\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85em;color:#888;font-style:italic;margin:6px 0;\"\u003ePlease note: prices are subject to change.
