cross drilled rotors F/R although rear never installed
Konig ultra light race rims 5 total, 1 has curb rash from previous owner
4 continental extreme contact tires probably 90% tread left haven't driven it much lately since my daughter was born.
Thats really all I can think of for now until I get it in the air and cross reference for the receipts that have been lost.
As far as the over all condition of the car, I would say its fair to good. The paint upfront is chipped from rocks but in over all good condition, still shines nice and can see reflections in it. There is no rust that I can see, even under the battery tray. The car was originally sold in the south somewhere and moved to the desert after that, I bought the car from the original owners estate after she passed. I have had the car here in Kansas since March 2011 and have always kept it in the garage. The only time its gotten wet since I have owned it was when I was washing it.
The AC does work but, will need a belt and a charge. It does have a new compressor, it is a rebuilt oem unit. I replaced this because the original locked up, I had it tested at the dealer and have a receipt for this.
The tan carpet is a bit stained but will come out with a shampooing, I started this awhile back by hand and decided I was just going to dye the carpet black and never got around to it, I do have the materials needed to complete this though. I have the original front seats and steering wheel also. The seats are clean but have weather cracks from sitting in the desert sun, the rear bench seat does not have cracks.
The dash is cracked, there is a hard plastic dash pad covering original dash.
The odometer quit as I was driving the car back from arizona and I never fixed it, I have put probably 15k on the car since 2011. I travel a lot for work and never really drove it unless it was nice out when I was home. And as of late (the last year) since my daughter was born I think I have driven it 4-5 times. This is why there is a brand new battery also. I had bought a replacement antenna assembly at some point in time to get it to go up and down and I lost it though one of my moves, so the antenna doesn't go up or down on its own.
The last negative I can think of is either from a lack of driving or just the age, the front timing cover has acquired a small oil leak, not hard to fix, just more time than I have available. I have tried to sell this locally in the past due to my lack of driving it and wanting someone else to enjoy it but, could never bring myself to. Between my ever so demanding job traveling all over the country for months at a time and my now 1yo daughter I really have no time to enjoy the car anymore so I would really like someone who would enjoy it to have it.
If there is anything else you want to know or any specific pics let me know. And if I see or think of anything new I will post it.Comment

I so wish I had the cash for it. A red 318is is what I really want. That was what my first BMW was. I've owned a shit load of cars over the years and the 318is was the most fun to drive.Comment

I love it, I just don't ever have time to drive it. Between my traveling for work and my daughter it has been in the garage more than its been out in a little over a year. I still make sure to start it when I am around and keep the cobwebs from forming though. Between the 318 and my AA supercharged e46 I had way more fun in the e30, I just seem to have a more intune drive with it than I did the e46. It feels more connected and that I have a better feel for the road.
