1991 318is
213,500 miles on the clock
Just a feeler..
Pics:
It has quarter panel damage, but not major. The pictures show this.
I may or may not have this fixed before I decide to sell the car.
Here's the real nitty gritty.
Interior
The interior used to completely tan cloth, as you can see in the pics, that has all changed. They came out of an 88 325ix. They were
originally cracked up and dry, but more importantly they had no tears. I bought a leatherique kit to bring the seats back to new. You'll notice that they do indeed look new, and they will look just as good in person!
I have also converted the standard (worthless) 6-button OBC to the 13-button OBC found on 325is'. I had to buy the European coding plug in order to make this work... Its quite cool. Oh and you won't have to replace the bulb either, I've replaced it to a nice red LED bulb.
I will also be including a Compustar Alarm..the model is 2WSS-AS. It was one of the best things I bought for this car! Wiring it up was a nightmare, so I've spared you the trouble!
Audio
I will be keeping the audio setup for my next car..
The car is pre-wired for speakers, components and a sub.
I have dynamated the whole floorboard along with the area where the rear seats are. I did this when I was swapping the old tan interior out for the black.
Mechanically
Very strong motor!
I recently bought a MarkD chip and installed a lightened E30 323i flywheel.
Maintenance wise, I've just been keeping up with oil changes every 3000 miles and the gear oil. This car has been a really great daily driver!
I haven’t had any issues with the motor. I have a folder full of service records coming from the p/o and a whole stack from me.
The motor (as well as the chassis) have 213,500 miles on it now and she's still kicking!
Also, the standard coil packs have been converted to Coil On Plugs. The car runs nice and smooth.
Some info:
Suspension
I installed Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks all around w/ H&R O.E. Sports Springs shortly after purchasing the car…
I have replaced every bushing except for the sway bar end links (front and rear). The control arms including the lollipops (poly), subframe bushings, and trailing arm bushings (poly) have all been replaced in the past 4k miles.
Also she has PVC coated stainless steel DOT approved brake lines. Brake rotors (brembo blanks) and pads (axxis ultimates) have been replaced as well.
Forgot to mention! I have installed a 1998 E36 M3 rack on this car! The difference between this rack and the standard E30 rack is night and day!!
Rust
There's a bit developing by the rear valance, under the battery...it looks like it can be patched up pretty easily.
The door. I have a replacement that I picked up not too long ago that’s a different shade of red (My intentions were to get the car fully repainted and fixed of course). The rust is only on the actual door, there are no leaks! What else...there’s surface rust developing by the kidney grill...looks like you can just get some sand paper on that and repaint.
Wheels
I will NOT be including the wheels in the sale. I will be including the 14 inch wheels seen on the flickr link.
HOWEVER, for an additional $750 I'll include the wheels with nearly brand new 205/55 16 Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S-03's!
