E30 Zone

People recon this colour is quite rare in the 325`s,one of my favourite coloyrs as well.Has anybody any idea how rare they are and how many were made in this colour.I do know it was from 1990 onwards....

behind special order Granite silver it's probably is or white maybe. Also the best imo. Sterling sports look the ball bags. Hard to find though

Ya it seems hard to find a good standard one in that colour,most ive seen have been thrashed.

I've got a H reg sport in sterling

Me to ! and 5 litres of Stirling silver paint waiting to go on it!

And I got 5kg of rust to come off it

Sterling silver sports are my favourite. They look so good, just a shame they are so rare.

I'd have to say red is my least favourite generally, but Chris' (billgatese30) one is stunning.

how about 2 door sterling silver se's?????? sterling silver ftw!!

lach silver all the way

Yes, Stirling is quite a rare shade on e30s and looks stunning on Sports. It would be hard to find out how many were made thou !

I wanted a Stirling Sport originally and located a fair few,only trouble was they were all rotten !

My sterling sport has been off the road for a year getting the treatment , will be back out to play shortly

Didn't think white sports were that rare?

I also thought white wasn`t that rare either, lach silver is a lovely colour when looking like yours(hubble)But i think sterling would be my first choice.

I Know there used to be a zoner up north with a J reg sport, i think it in Hull. That was my favourite, so so clean and tidy.....not sure if hes still on here.......

There are a few zoners on here with J plate Sports in Sterling,including one that was for sale not to long ago!

Sterling nice. Lachs nicer. Dolphin nicer still. Brialliant red.... pure sex.

Zinnobar? Go fvck yourself.

My Sport is Granite Silver, is that unusual then?

SPECIAL ORDER ONLY!

SPECIAL ORDER ONLY!

hahaha yeah I CAN read!! just didnt' know if it was popular or not?

nope came in as a special order in late 91 when E30 4 door production stopped and the E36 started rolling off the lines. As there was a few months where the 2 door E30 and 4 door E36's overlapped in production they added the colour! or bmw GB did

Really so it is quite a rare colour! Didn't know that- cheers Simon. I'm special

rarest tech 2 sport colour by a long shot. Alot are on j plates

Mine's a 'H' plate '91 so guess it's one of the first Granite ones? Wonder how many were actually ordered, is there somewhere like a register I can find out from- anal interest (that sounds very wrong doesn't it!!)

Si I heard it was also a special order colour on the e36
do ya think thats right?

Iain Hamiltons mate had a J plater high spec one with the alpina sport pack. I looked at one in NW london years ago, high spec again but it was f**ked H*** JPM horrid car. There's a coupl on here but i don't know about numbers built.

Malco as i gather it was a cooking colour on the 36 there's loads of saloons about in granite

I'll see if I can find out numbers from anywhere- never knew they offered special order paint!! Cheers Simon

are you going to find out just sports or all cars in granite silver?

I'll also be interested in numbers

Was just gonna look at Sports as it was only available as a special order option for a short period of time?

That would be mine then!!

I saw a post on the old zone from Iain saying that his mate was selling one, and that it was in his words "the one you have been waiting for" I was getting hacked off looking at sh1te so-called minters for £3-3500so i drove 240 miles down to Portsmouth with a pocket full of cash and as soon as i saw it and drove it I knew i had to have it.

That was 4 years ago now, and I've not regretted it for a second. Recently took the tech2 kit off to see what was underneath, so now I've got a bit of tidying to do, nothing serious, just a little bit at the bottoms of the wings and a small scab on one of the sills, quite relieved really could have been a lot worse from some of the horror stories I've seen on here.

I've decided i really MUST use it a bit more this year, and get to a few more meets too

not really a fan of silvers but granite silver is
