    -- 1989 BMW E30 Turbo Delphin Grey --

    (PICS BELOW)
    This is my very clean 1989 BMW 325i Turbo E30. A great car I must say; this vehicle is outstandingly clean inside and out since the date of purchase of 2005. Before I go into details with this vehicle, I would like to say, I babied her like no other considering this was in fact, my first car. I do have other vehicles I drive daily; but this one sits in my garage everyday waiting for a potential day to go out for a nice Sunday drive. Keep in mind this car was used strictly for shows and small drives, never intended to race on track although it can be an option for which it contains all the specific reliabilities for such an occasion. Paint is a beautiful original dolphin grey and has never sat in the sun for a long period of time. Every tune-up, maintenance, and modifications were done by me. She runs strong and fast, suspension is stable and stiff. Maintenance is kept to par. I am a certified technician so all have these procedures had been done accordingly.

                        What the balls?
                        This car belonged to one of Ary's friends, sold to my friend Will, which was then s52 swapped, then sold to someone else who unfortunately had the car wrecked. This car doesn't even exist anymore. What're you doing?
                        The tags in your picture even say 2010 lol.
