1997 318is, 5sp, Schwartz Black / Tan Vinyl, Sunroof, heated seats, cruise. A/C, traction control, and all the standard E36 stuff. DASC Supercharged with unique M3 body kit and suspension mods. Clearwater, FL . $4,950


The story. I acquired this car as a daily driver three and a half years ago from the original owners. They are avid BMWCCA enthusiasts who pampered this car, obsessively serviced it, and did all the mods. The car had been sitting in a garage (in Cleveland OH) for 5 years so I had to do several things (new motor mounts, new starter, new A/C Compressor, brake rotors and pads, tires, synthetic fluids, rebuilt supercharger, new throttle cable) to make it reliable. I brought it to FL and have used it as a dd since. It is extremely reliable and very much fun to drive. The SC makes some cool sounds, pulls hard even through 3rd and 4th gears, and it is surprisingly fast.

Paint shines well – Looks great from 20 ft


The Bad:

The car spent the first 15 years of its life in Ohio so there is some rust underneath.
The interior door panels are a little rough. A little puffy and not a perfect fit.
Sunroof needs adjustment.
Some nicks and scratches visible under close inspection.

sad to see this go!

Bump..... Price lowered to $3,500... The parts alone are worth that plus, with cold A/C and 30mpg highway it is a good driver to use until you have time for a swap in to an E30 body.

C'mon guys. The car is going on Craiglist next week....I would rather see an enthusiast pick this up vs.. some local punk.

any chance you sell the DASC seperately, and ship it to europe?
if so, you can contact me ;)

Unlikely. My first desire is to sell the whole car. Secondly, there are others in the US who want the Supercharger Kit. If I were to remove the SC kit, I think it will be much easier for me to ship to a US customer.

245/40s on a 7.5 wheel?

What's the total hp with the supercharger?

What's the total hp with the supercharger?

Good catch on the wheels. They are 17" x 8" all around.

I have several dyno run reports and max power was 184.4 Hp and 154.8 ft lbs torque. These were done by previous owner in 2004.

The car could use a fresh tune. I have just been using it as a driver.
