    FS: 1991 318is w/ M50 swap in CT

    1991 318is, originally Alpine White II, 1992 325i motor (M50 Non-VANOS), M20 single-mass flywheel & clutch, Getrag 240 trans, E36 5sp driveshaft, 4.10 open diff.

    Eibach springs, Tokico shocks, E90 front drop hats. Transmission mounts by Silence. Alpine head unit. Unknown aftermarket chip (I've never opened the ECU.)

    Tan vinyl interior, driver's seat is pretty torn up and the dash is cracked in a few places. Will put interior pics up later.

    Odometer broke sometime in 2010 - old registration sticker from April 2010 has a lower mileage on it. Currently reads 223,xxx, actual mileage estimated at 227k-228k. Motor has 94-95k on it.

    I have to make this description really brief for the time being because I have to go to work - I just wanted to try to get the ball rolling on this because the car must sell quick.

    $2,200 for a quick sale. Obviously, at this price it has some issues. Needs new front brakes, front left shock is blown, trans. is noisy (prob. just needs a fluid change), rubber on the center support bearing is torn (previous owner forgot to pre-load it upon install - brand new CSB is included), has some rust on the rear valence, and the diff. is also noisy. Euroweaves are not included in sale, but I would consider selling them at the right price. Car is located in Western Connecticut. PM me if you need specifics. I can show the car any time.

    On to the pics:





















    Again, I will update this later with more details. Thanks for looking.

                  Sorry it took me so long to get these for you guys, but here are your interior and engine bay pics:





























                  A few more things to mention:

                  The Alpine head unit has a USB drive/iPod connector cable that is pretty convenient. I don't have an iPod so I just play music off of my flash drive. You can see it hanging down on the right side of the storage area in front of the ash tray, under the fan knob.

                  The hydraulic hood support has a broken weld. I use a piece of wood to hold the hood up.

                  The car has a homemade clutch stop.

                  New slave cylinder/ATE racing blue fluid done August 2011
                  New thermostat/fresh coolant done August 2011
                  Brand new battery installed yesterday

                  The car will come rolling on bottlecaps/Falken Ziex tires w/ 50% tread

                  I think that's it for now. Thanks

                  Oh and for mattrabbit's question about the rust, it is really just on the rear valence as you can see in the pics. On one side, the runner rail under the front fender rocker panel is kinda chewed up from someone jacking the car up in the wrong place, and it has some slight surface rust. You could probably just sand it down, spray it with some rust inhibitor, and finish it with the rubberized coating which is supposed to be there in the first place.

                      See picture. It is cracked in 3 places.

                      I have a crack-free, mint dash already removed from my parts car that I will sell for $100 if anyone is interested. I also have black vinyl sport seats and door cards in very nice condition as well.

                          Ha, I actually had a guy from CA contact me about it. I thought it was funny because all the East Coast guys want CA cars since they usually don't have rust issues. Anyway, thanks
