I have a Granite Silver Sport, but have never seen another one. Does anyone on the zone have one? I know its a rare colour, I'm just trying to figure out how rare.

Granite silver was a special order only colour in 91 on the last sports built. It's an E36 colour really.

Theres a handful about, plus those oddball cabs like Malcos and Pauls!!!

Mine is Granite Silver :banana:

It's a '92 registered Sport, built in '91, I knew it was fairly rare, but I never thought it was quite this rare, looks like it's just me and thee with granite on a sport, :woohoo: for us!

where do i start? u can see the dents in the front wing, and the bonnet doesn't line up. Even the sunroof didn't sit right. The rear bumper apron/valance was the same. The brakes are the worst i've seen in my life, so much so i didn't go for a test drive through fear. The engine was shagged. Was hunting at idle and the engine was well warm when i got there 137k. Never a good sign. Every panel was dented, marked. Just very scruffy and scuffs front and rear where it was too low

It was lowered 60mm and he didn't even know the make of springs that were used.

He must of found some centre caps for it too in that photo, as it only had one when i looked at. Worst of all he wanted 4 bags for this car

plus points were it had a massive spec, EVERY option bar aircon. The service history was awsome, had the full works. Plus the car had lived about 5miles from where i live it whole life.

To me your friend bought it and took it to london and ruined it! I offered him a grand for it 3 months later after it still had not sold! a few other people on the forum looked at it aswell as me and said the same things! this was about 2 years ago mind

I told u all this at the slough meet?!
