1991 318i - For what it's worth?

[318idol]

Quick question: Considering selling my '91 318i. The scoop:

• Clean, dead straight, no rust.
• Diamondswartz, new paint on hood and front fenders. Paint is 95 percent perfect.
• Koni adjustables
• HR sports springs
• Xi/Convert front swaybar
• M3 rear swaybar
• e36 steering rack
• Mark D chip
• Basketweaves (okay shape)
• iS trunk lip, body paint color
• New radiator, water pump
• M3 control arm bushings
• Replaced entire front suspension bits
• New stock muffler
• Replaced shifter bushings
• Replaced driveshaft center bearing
• Mobil 1 in motor; Red Line everywhere else
• BMW factory coolant only
• 145,000 miles
• Runs like a train, uber reliable
• Usual dashboard cracks
• Front seat cushion upholstery worn, but nice grey seat covers
• Sony CD player with front MP3 input jack. Orange lights!
• It looks like a slightly lowered factory 4-door 318is.

No photos at the moment. Will add some soon. Curioius,what the car would be worth.

Thanks, Gary

Beige interior $2500-3000. Black interior $3000-3500. imo

S4.10 diff would be a plus.

Oh, and don't sell it! Late 318i's are cool cars.:)

Touched any of the timing components on this thing?

[Ryann]

m42 timing components are good for 300k+ so long as you don't drive around with a gimpy original tensioner piston for 10 years.

No plastic timing component is good for 300k or 20 years. Dunno what youve been smoking, lol.

My father-in-law just picked up a late 318i w/265k on the clock. Last weekend I pulled the cam and upper timing cover to find original gears and tensioner/guides to be slightly worn but easily good for another 50k+. Oh, and no chunks in the pan. After I got everything put back together I may have smoked something.

I'm in Portland as well and would be interested in taking a look. Let me know!
