    318is for sale!

    Brilliantrot over natur cloth (rare combo)
    Sunroof version

    All original survivor with matching VIN's everywhere possible and dealer inspection stamps too!
    Factory Original: paint, interior, dash (with no cracks!), windows/glass with production stickers, wheels (never repainted), M42 motor, tool kit, jack set with BMW center cap remover even, spare wheel/tire, BMW leather holder with ALL manuals/docs from factory, BMW debut memorabilia items included
    Verified original 167k miles on odometer still rolling
    9.5 out of 10 overall survivor condition; near MINT
    ALL services/maintenance performed the past 3 years and no stone left un-turned with OEM parts from ECS tuning along with new tires in correct size/speed

    Near Show ready/road tour ready with couple finishing touches for it's forever home.

    Blemishes: Couple tears in original cloth on rear upper section of seats and pass. front seat, and tiny blemish on driver door card barely noticeable. (cleanest cloth interior I've seen yet on any)
    Rear battery box has rust forming due to previous drainage issue so eventually needs new box section and valance fix and blend; $500 fix.
    AC needs Evap. & Condenser to blow cold again- $500 fix.

    Pictures will speak everything but in person is even more amazing on her originality and condition; truly remarkable and she looks like she only has about 50k original miles when people see her out and about. I've poured my heart and soul into this car and have over 260 hours in just the cosmetic refreshing/cleaning with my hands over the years alone, not to mention the labor and OEM parts list with everything being addressed to be a collection piece for our family. I was holding for my kids college fund for later b/c of value increases and them tracking right behind the e30 m3's in values the next 5-15 years and beyond but my wife and I decided to sell our collection and save for now to become debt free in the next 2-3 years. After that, I will then start holding a collection again for the future. I never thought I'd sell this car TBH and it's painful even listing her for sale officially. Such is life and I want to make hard/smart decisions now to set my family up for the future sir. Thank you for your interest in Miss Red.

                Ugh. I miss my 318is. Good luck with sale. Amazing example.

                Would love to own this beauty. Maybe a little too nice for me though, wouldn't want to change anything on it. And I love to tinker...

                    Hi Fredo and thank you for the kind words. I believe I bought that fitted dash mat from Bavauto.com years ago.
