Asking price: $4,000
The car is located in Sanford, FL (on the outskirts of the Orlando area)
I have owned this 1996 BMW 318ti for about 7 years. It has been a dedicated rallycross car and occasional weekend driver the entire time. I have moved on to another rallycross car and it is time for this one to go.
Specs
- A rare slicktop with extra headroom
- M44 engine with a Midnight Tuning ecu
- Lightweight single mass flywheel and s52 clutch
- Metric Mechanic VLSD with 3.45 ratio in a stock housing (prepared legal)
- Bilstein B6 shocks with stock springs, M3 LCAB bushings. Sway bars are off the car but are included in the sale.
- Most of the suspension bushings replaced with polyurethane
- Stripped interior, metal door panels, Corbeau A4 wide seats, gauges, switches and hvac controls still work
- I have a ton of spares including an open diff, axles, lexan side windows, steering wheels, and a box of various 318ti specific parts.
The car is fully prepared legal except for the interior. If I wanted to keep it and stay competitive in rallycross, I would buy some front carpet, door panels, and a half cage to run it in prepared rear. Alternatively, a 2.8 swap and a Z3 steering rack would make it pretty fun for modified rear.
I have a Youtube playlist for major rallycross events. This thread documents various rallycross, autocross, and Lemons rally adventures with the car.
I am happy to setup a co-drive with any prospective buyer but the local rallycross season is done for the year. There might be a test and tune between Christmas and New Year and another on the last weekend in January. There is a rallyx at The FIRM on November 23 but that event would require a pretty hefty deposit.
