WTB Delphin 2/4dr 89+ 325i/s

[spartan117jhw43]

must have: good paint, little to no rust, no accidents, 5 speed
preferably: tan interior, running, already on bilsteins, up to date on timing belt and water pump

budget: none

7/16/13- Also considering coupes and other 4 doors meeting the same criteria in these colors: (delphin, zinno (cinnabar), diamond schwartz, lachsilber, granitesilber, sterlingsibler)

I'm generally looking for a solid body and good paint as a base for a project.
At this point I've been looking so long that if you have one that meets these criteria I probably want it...
Location: Indianapolis, but willing to travel anywhere

Test drove a Delphin in LA at a dealership not too long ago. Straight body and paint. Ran a little funny when I test drove it but I wasn't looking for a project at the time. I'll see if they still have it and post back if they do with a phone number and a pic if possible. Good luck if otherwise!

Thanks a lot! I look forward to hearing back from you either way!

I am still looking for my dream sedan, so here is the info on my coupe.

1990 bmw 325i coupe
-delphin gray (paint is only 4/10). roof and doors rough looking, front fenders resprayed with very bad orange peel
-black interior with 1 vinyl sport seat and 1 leather sport seat but they look pretty much the same. I have a spare vinyl sport seat that matches but it is in sub-par shape
-factory carpet removed
-213k miles
-t-belt done at 208k miles but water pump doesnt have fan thread on it (this was primarily a track car for a while so I didnt want a fan). if you are driving in hot weather or lots of traffic, recommend replace waterpump with one with fan threads
-heat, power windows, crank sunroof work great
-aftermarket high-end JVC CD player with tilting display
-digital clock, no trip computer
-No A/C
-no rust (a requirement for all my e30s)
-factory carpet removed and cheap, light home depot carpet installed. far from a professional level job
-loping idle - maybe from a vacuum leak? Ive researched it a little over the past year but it doesnt really affect driveability

I have lots of bolt-on goodies that I could remove or replace to keep the costs down. options include

-16" BBS RX wheels with hub centric 10mm spacers
-Mtech I steering wheel
-Mtech II steering wheel 270mm (I would rather keep this)
-Spectre air intake filter (low-buck ebay unit)
-SuperSprint muffler
-superloud aftermarket muffler, brand unknown, bad condition
-Dinan Chip
-Drilled front rotors, with brand new in box drilled rear rotors
-3.25 limited slip diff (great for high speed cruising)
-4.10 limited slip diff (high acceleration, good for autox or track days)
-lowering springs, brand unknown from previous owner (another r3ver)
-drop hats on front suspension for a further drop
-e28 sport rear spoiler
-rear license place filler (US version)
- I have a spare vinyl sport seat that matches but it is in sub-par shape

The car is very reliable - I take it to Road America from Chicago, for example, and to SW Wisconsin. It has never given me anything to worry about.

I have a Delphin 4dr, strong m20, converted to 5 speed, coil overs, Bilstien, black interior. Not finished building it to taste quite yet, but everything is for sale for the right price. Minor surface rust on battery tray and bottom of front fenders.
