General:
I am the 3rd owner of this BMW 1991 318iC, purchased back in 2001. The car currently has 151,XXX miles on it (and is driven daily). A lot of care, time, and money has been put into this car but it is time to let someone else enjoy it. It is Calypsorot Metallic with a tan leatherette interior (very nice combination). The hardtop was purchased from Dave Adams (old E30 guy). It had the original headliner which was sagging and has been professionally replaced with a black cloth headliner.
History:
The engine was replaced 5,000 miles ago (timing chain tensioner went out in original engine = bent valves). Valley Motorwerks in Sacramento inspected the replacement engine and performed all of the installation work. The A/C was recently serviced at Valley Motowerks and blows VERY cold. The windshield had a rock chip which spread into a crack (needs replacement). Both fender lips have been "yanked" and rolled back in with a fender roller (turned out good but not perfect). The rear trunk lid has some imperfections from the previous owner. The paint is in good condition and has wear consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage.
The following modifications have been made.
Exterior:
- OEM iS Front Lip
- OEM European bumper trim
- OEM European Grille
- OEM European rear license plate cover
- Hella "Smiley" projector headlights with 3M film
