SOLD: 1992 BMW 318i Convertible Mauritius Blue

[KIRIEIW]

Hey guys, up for sale your looking at my little 318i Convertible, painted the very rare factory color "Mauritius Blue Pearl". I've been working on this one for some time now, and now the car is definitely one of the more mechanically sorted e30's posted today for sale. It runs great, doesn't leak a single drop of oil or transmission fluid, all seals that where leaking where replaced at one point to keep it leak free. It's not an over exaggeration, it seriously doesn't leak a drop which is very surprising because most, if not all e30's for sale have leaks. The clutch is in great shape, doesn't slip, shifts into all gears great, including up and down shifting. The car needs absolutely no mechanical work. The only thing the car really needs is some paint on the trunk lid, and rear bumper. The rest of the paint on the entire car still shines fine with no other clear coat peal. Lastly, the convertible top was replaced recently, great shape with excellent tension straps. Bellow is a list of repairs the car had in the past two years.

-The temp gauge works, but is always in the blue area. Will go up to around 1/3rd. I'm pretty sure this issues also SI Battery related.
-The steering rack even though its been replaced , seeps fluid from where the column enters the rack. Leaks 1 drop or less every couple days.
-Has original 90's CA plates which have capital letters, rather then cursive. Front plate is included.
-The shocks that hold the trunk up when its open are getting weak and should be replaced if you open the trunk lid frequently. It still stays
open fine however. You can see the two in picture #12, there about $30 a set on eBay.



If your looking for a solid cheap e30, this is the one for you. It's not perfect of course, but much better then most the crap out there these days. I'll admit, the camera makes it look better then it truly is in person and no I didn't edit the photos. If the paint was better, my asking price would be a lot higher. I just had it smogged last week, and is ready for the new owner to take her home. I can show the car Mondays before 5pm, Tuesday- Friday after 7.30PM, or early mornings, and Saturdays after 4.30. I'm also available occasionally on Sundays. Please no joy rides, I'm not in a rush to sell in fact I just ordered a replacement title as I misplaced mine, it should be coming in the mail sometime this week, of course in my name with a clean title. I believe my asking price is very fair, so don't expect a Black Friday discount.

Thanks for Looking!

[KIRIEIW]

Thank you!

[KIRIEIW]

Well I've had 5 people people contact me so far, 2 for trades the the other 3 where still trying to figure out a time frame that will work for the both of us. Someone was suppose to come by around 11.30am today, but told me something came up and would like to set up another time to check out the car. So as of now, still available!

[KIRIEIW]

Well it sold! To the first people who checked it out in person. A Dad and his 20yr old daughter came by, nice people. Cars perfect for her, she has neon blue hair to match with the top down!

Thanks for the interest everyone.

Fast sale of a 'vert in November! Good for you. Buyer got a hell of a deal!

I was worried It would be be a hard sale in November actually myself, glad to see it went to a new girl e30 enthusiast though :D. I'm doing a few last things for her to make sure its in tip top shape, like spark plugs, reverse light switch on the transmission (she actually realized the lights didn't work when I backed it up!). Not really part of the deal, but whats $20 out of my pocket going to do. I might even do the thermostat if I have time. She's picking it up early next week.
