Most diamond black cars look crap because they have poor paint.

When diamond black is fresh and in good condition is a stunning colour in the sun as the green and purple flecks in it pop right out!

No that im biased or anything.

Besides, if i were buying a brand new sport back in '90 it would have been red with black leather.

It's such a shame that they didn't offer other colours on 325i sports as Laser blue would have been great!

Alpine white Black or red leather
dolphin grey black leather
Sterling silver Black or red leather
Lachs silver black leather
Granite grey black leather
Brilliant red black leather
Diamond black Black or red leather

Diamond with red leather would be further up in my choice

Anything with beige/tan leather I'd pass over

Not a possible combo as A, BMW individual gmbh was not fully up and running when 325i sports were available and B, champagne leather was not available on any E30.

Sterling or Granite Silver.

At first I preferred Delphin Grey but after seeing the above two in person I quickly changed my mind. Not much a fan of bright colours like red on cars. That being said, I haven't seen the majority of E30 colours in person.

I wanted a white one originally, but after seeing dolphin grey in the metal, I soon came around.

On a dull day it looks rubbish, but in the sun, I think it's lovely with a slight blue/green tint to it.

It certainly is a stunning colour, joint favourite with granite for me

My dolphin turd is getting ready for a full body paint, can't wait to see it when done. Think I will never drive it, just cuddle it every day
