325is Colors??

[brodee]

I want to pick up a 325is and am wondering what colors were available on them. Mainly interested in 89-91.

Was Delphin Grey available in those years??

Thanks for you help

Diamond Black is also metallic. AND HAWT.

Go for a color no-one has. I've seen only one E30 in Royal Blue metallic and it is a beautiful color.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I just bought an '87 325e sedan, but as soon as my truck sells I want to buy a nice 325is and I'm trying to decide exactly what I want now.

Last year I had a '95 M3 and an e36 325ic cabrio before that. I think these e30's are more fun to drive than either of those cars, and definately cheaper to mod :D

yeah theyre deffinately more fun. plus when you compared some old E36s with even older e30's it seems that most of the time the e30's are in better running condition and simply better built.

Duh, I knew that

Is there a difference in the 325i and the 325is other than lower suspension and lower rear-end ratio?

I'm thinking it may be easier to find an i instead of the is

In 1991 there was no 325iS, but you can find all the sport options on them. Look for a 1991 and check to see if it has sport seats since that's all you really need, you can change the springs and shocks later 8).

Look for a 4.10, 3.91, I dunno what came with the LSD in the 325's. My 318is has a 4.10...

Mine is Royalblau metallic. The picture below is not the greatest for showing that color though. :(

No, not really. Also, the ratios are the same 3.73 across the 5-speed board.

Thanks guys. Now I just have to get this truck out of here so I can get one. Anyone want to buy a Z71 with a 6" lift???

325is' also come with a LSD rear differential, power sunroof, premium sound with separates front and rear, and full OBC. I believe these were all options for the "i" models.

My car is Diamond-shwartz metallic (Diamond Black). I would never have bought a car with black paint, metallic or not, but now that I have it, I love it.

Huh-whaaat? No Hennarot? Aww. Thats sucks. Hennarot is a cool colour - actually is a "warm" one, but we aint doing Year 8 art here. I like Hennarot - its different, you should too. Its a shame you cant get a Hennarot 325iS.
