1991 BMW 318i E30 Sedan
The Pertinents
-Rare "Slicktop" (no sunroof)
-144k Miles (odometer is rolling)
-1.8L "M42" Four Cylinder
-5 Speed
-Cloth interior
-No rust issues (battery tray, spare tire well, and jack well are clear, as are the pinch welds and floor pans)
The Specifics
-Prior Owner replaced numerous items on this car (no receipts but visual inspection verifies their replacement) including: Rebuilt Gauge Cluster (new odometer gears and lights-all operational) Front shocks (replaced with Monroe) Control Arms front and rear Head Gasket (head and timing chain cover sent to Alabama to be machined) Guibo Rebuilt Driveshaft Exhaust (appears to be 1-2 years old) Steering Rack Front and Rear Brake Rotors/Pads Wheel Bearings Newer Tires 7-8/32 (solid treadlife) Differential Mount *Driveshaft Center Bearing
-Usually this would be where I list what the car needs. Near as I can tell it needs nothing. Every little light and button works (becoming a rarity with these cars). The foglights work, the interior lights work, the trunk light works, the odometer rolls. Mechanically, the car feels better than any e30 I have owned. The 318 models are notoriously well-balanced (often called "the poor man's M3"), and with the replacement suspension bits, this one handles very very well. There are a few small nicks and dents, though that is not uncommon on a 24 year old car. We've got it on steelies, though there is a set of hubcaps that we can include in the sale. The pictured front seat covers will be included in the sale at our asking price. If you're looking for an e30 that is ready to go, this is it. If you're looking for a budget entry beater into the e30 scene, this isn't the car for you.
-Price is $4200. We will however entertain trades plus cash. For example, a vintage BMW (looking to trade up from an e30 with issues?), Miata, Car Trailer, Rollback, or other interesting vehicle. Feel free to email with questions.
