Totally Original BMW E30 1991 318is Diamantschwartz

[dtm@heart]

Correct, but it was an option for these cars. Cruise control was not a standard option though, and is somewhat rare that it has it dealer installed.

GLWS! I would love to purchase that car ... same color as my 318is!

It's a shame you are so far away!

Not that far, and I guarantee it worth the drive. Would not hesitate to take it on a road trip back to AZ.

The Shit!!!!

Thanks brah

Wow! Exactly what I'm looking for! Just have to get rid of my 190e 2.6 first:( are you in a hurry to sell?...that is if it's still available.

Me too, just giving it time. This will be the perfect car for the right buyer.

Bump - once it starts raining this goes into hibernation until next year - peak market time. ;)

^ hah Im actually hoping for this to happen! It'll give me time to sell my daily to raise some funds! My E36 M3 needs a Bavarian companion:)

Where is the car located? And when can i see it?

Completely stock, clean titled, unmolested 1991 318is up for sale. Super clean, rust-free California car since day one. I originally took this on because it would be a great project to throw some nice upgrades but I've mostly been using my truck and the car has just mainly hanging out in my garage. I'd like to see it go to someone who understands and appreciates how difficult it is to find a clean original car like this, and do something awesome with it.

Per the prior owner for a little history: "the second owner had car from 1994-2007 and stored it indoors during this time. In my four years of ownership it has been parked outside for the last two years only (in a gated courtyard), and it is rarely parked on the street, as such it is nearly ding free. Never raced, and purposely kept stock. No issues and super reliable. A great daily driver or super clean basis for an awesome project car." My ownership has been a continuation of that good treatment, stored indoors, only driven on sunny days if at all. I just haven't had that much time to enjoy her hence I am selling.
