    1990 318i Touring - Malachite Green!

    1990 318i Touring



    Malachite green metallic, slicktop, black leather interior, M40, manual.

    Imported in 2016, original US owner, garage kept and driven about 1,000 miles per year.



    335,431 kilometers, or 209,048 miles.

    Service since importation:

    Suspension - original springs, Bilstein B4s, every bushing & mount as well
    Fuel tank and pump
    Camshaft/lifters/rockers
    Intake manifold reseal
    Timing belt/tensioner
    Driveshaft and shifter rubber components
    Clutch/pressure plate/TOB
    Basic regular maintenance

    Upgrades/alterations:

    Headliner fabric - very near match
    Differential swap to 4.44 open from 4.27 open
    Continental TR7412UB-OR stereo
    Net rolling cargo cover added
    Original touring tool roll added
    M-Tech 385 steering wheel swap

    Upcoming service:

    Timing belt service - time interval
    Brakes - wear light on
    Oil change - time interval

    For local buyers, I'm happy to do the work listed above, or help you do it, if you get the parts. That way you'll know the service was done, get the parts you want, and you'll get to know your new E30 a little better.



    Based on my 15 years of E30 ownership I can safely say that it's an excellent wagon that gets great mileage, is easy to work on, and is as fun to drive as any maintained E30.

    You can PM, but it's easier to contact me directly at a Google Voice number I set up just for the sale: (301)-three64-47eight6

    Location: Southern MD, near Washington DC

    VIN: WBAAG71000ED80502

    Price: $12,600

    Beautiful touring! Never seen this color before.

    GLWS!

    I sent you a PM about adding that cargo net. Hoping to do the same upgrade mine!

        Thanks!

        Hard to beat the feeling of an old car that's been kept up, they just feel so right.

        It's also the last E30, I have around, so I may join the no E30 club for a while, but there are always more on the horizon.

            Probably will, not sure where else I can find such a congenial collection of reprobates. Besides, I still have an immense accretion (which I believe is technically accurate) of parts to offload.

                  If only I applied that logic to everything else in my life...

                      GLWS! Wish I could scoop it up. Right car and location but wrong time. A little out of my budget at the moment unfortunately.

                            Boy do I need this... And it's been awhile since I've done the Maryland to West Coast drive.

                              That's one way to make a YT video, albeit an expensive one.
