    Delphin 325i, My e30 S52 replacement car..

    This is the car that I took as partial trade for my 332e. It was/is a mess visually. I am slowly making improvements on it though. This has been a track car for the last 2 owners and it will see action with me. I will be using as a DD as well.

    That being said, it runs great. Suspension is fairly well sorted out too, although soft. It came with some nice mods:

    3.73 lsd
    Z3 2.8 Shift lever
    H&R Sports
    Bilstein Sports
    Sparco Strut Brace
    Stainless Steel Brake lines
    M3 cluster
    JC Chip

    Stuff I've added:

    IS front lip
    Ronal LS 15x7.5 w/
    Hankook R-S2 225/50-15
    Bison Leather shift boot
    Painted Valve cover
    and a ton of maintenance stuff and replacement parts from the dealer..

    I am currently undergoing an interior color change from tan to black and am on the search for some front seats. My black replacement back seat is on the way.

    So far I am really enjoying the car. It gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive despite being a complete turd compared to the 332.

    I can't wait to do a serious detail and some paint repair, it needs it. It's a project car for sure, but that's what I enjoy. :p

    Sorry for the crappy phone pics..

                        Nice ride Chuck. That's exactly what you wanted as a platform. Props to you for holding out for the right example. I can't wait to see the finished product..

                        I hope you are doing well..

                            Delphin totally rules... maybe I ought to repaint my E28 Delphin instead of doing a complete color change...

                            Your car doesn't look bad, regardless of the dents and whatnot!
