After multiple drop outs by buyers, I'm putting this car back up for sale.
Located in San Diego, CA.
$7,500
1991 318is
Alpine White II; black everything except carpet (blue)
5-speed
282,000 miles
Exterior:
Euro smiley smoked ellipsoids
Prolumen H1 5000k HIDs
Lamin-x on headlights
debadged
euro grilles
5% tint on three rear windows
5% 6 inch tint on windshield
euro bumper trim
MHW smoked front turn signals
replacement hood, valence, and driver fender
IS lip and splitter
Fender and valence were replaced due to a small fender bender I had a year back, no damage at all done to anything besides the oilpan and body panels. Hood is replaced because it has less dents and better paint than the original hood had. Except for the passenger fender, everything is in relatively good condition; few small bumps/dents here and there, nothing that would ever require heavy amounts of repair. The passenger fender has paint damage right above the tire from rubbing...car height has been adjusted to prevent this from happening again.
Car comes with fog blanks and fog lights with Lamin-x.
New windshield installed in November.
Wheels:
Kosei K1; 16x7.5 et43
BFGoodrich g-Force KDW-2; 225/45/16

Got these a year ago and they're still in great condition. Combo of tires/wheel width/offset really fill the wheel wells nicely.

Motor runs beautifully, pulls strong, and sounds like perfection. Estimated horsepower is ~230-240.
Swap was done professionally, and this is the fourth motor this car has had (m42, m20, m50, m52).
I have a ZF remanufactured e30 M3 rack and Lemförder tierods waiting to go on the car, not sure if it'll be done before it's sold, but they will come with the car regardless.
All the following were replaced summer of 05 during the last motor swap:
- Belts, bearings, pulleys, knock sensors, valve cover gasket, intake mani gaskets, exhaust mani gaskets, spark plugs, water pump/gasket, thermostat, some hoses, oil pan gasket (metal), were all installed new Summer 05.
Cams had 60k (??) miles on them from the previous owner. No issues of any sort with them when they were installed Summer 05.
The entire vanos unit is a year old now. Factory part, installed by independent shop in AZ.
Radiator is now two years old. Factory part, too.
Clutch has ~35k miles.
Oil is done every 4k miles (synthetic).
Exhaust:
AA replica headers
IE catback
one-in, dual-out cat
Here's the setup:
2 headers-->single 2.5" pipe with flange-->1-in cat-->dual-out cat-->IE catback[/b]
Suspension:
Ground Control 375F/475R coilovers
Treehouse Racing offset control arm bushings (new design, no noises)
Ireland Engineering urethane subframe bushings
Bilstein re-valved shocks
Racing Dynamics front and rear sway bars
Racing Dynamics sway bar mounts
Ground Control rear shock mounts
Motor Force adjustable camber/caster plates
Sparco strut bar
Brakes:
EBC GreenStuff pads
Brembo OEM blanks
Goodridge stainless steel brake lines
320i brake booster
Other:
16.5 gallon gas tank
sound deadening in trunk, behind rear seat, behind all door panels, inside body panels in the rear, and behind kickpanels
keyless entry
M3 wiring covers in the engine bay
Optica red top battery
Maintenance: oil (5W-30 synthetic), tranny fluid, diff fluid were all done 3k miles ago. CAB's were put in 9/18/06. Brakes/fluid were done 7/06. Coolant is brand new. Fuel filter was done 3k miles ago. A/C was installed and charged 8/04, still blows ice cold. CSB was replaced 1 year ago. Diff was rebuilt 2.5 years ago. Battery is 1.5 years old. Vanos was replaced with new unit from the dealership a year ago.
Notes: Temp gauge doesn't work because of the OBD-II --> OBD-I change, just need to tap the head/thermostat. I wouldn't worry about it overheating though, I live in Arizona half the year and never have had issues. Car will pass emissions in every state. Hasn't passed in CA yet because of the headers, but it is the law that I must provide the buyer with a completion of passing smog, so shouldn't be a concern of yours.
Heat, A/C, blower, and all other functions work.
This car is a blast to drive, and anyone who has been in it or driven it will agree.
