    1991 318is Euro. "M-is" CHEAP

    Please guys. READ the description before asking questions. Thx.

    91 diamond schwartz 318is for sale. Bought this car a few months ago to use as a get around to save gas. But now I have too many cars, and have absolutley no room at my new house for the car. I bought the car from a local guy who bought a new bimmer. He was in the Army, stationed in Germany. He imported the car to Jacksonville in 1998, and drove it until 08.

    - 91 318is euro M42 "M-is"
    - clean Florida title
    - black/grey w/tan sport seats that function well, but the vinyl is shot.
    - diamon schwartz
    - MT with recent clutch/SC
    - 238k
    - Bilstein shocks
    - powerslot rotors
    - Bav auto front lip
    - Mtech 2 rear double decker spoiler
    - custom exhaust
    - New stock LSD, w/ new halfshafts.
    - fairly new tires
    - Many new misc parts


    The car runs and drives. But it has many issues. Its very rough around the edges, but the motor runs well, and the tranny shifts well. Apparantley, at one time he took good care of it. I have a huge stack of receipts dating back to when he brought the car here. The carfax states that the car was never in an accident, but it mustve been rear ended and not reported. Theres horrible body work on both rear q-panels.

    Front main is a little leaky. (doesent leave oil on the ground)
    -The drivers side plastic portion of the radiator has a little plastic phillips head peice thats broken off, and coolant leaks from there
    - It needs brake work. (car stops, but pedal is to the floor) Probably needs a rotor turn and pads.
    - The car is very rusty. Its not so bad underneath, but the body has some bubbling, and the rear valence is shot.
    - All plastics, and bumpers, lights in good shape.

    The car is located in Hollywood FL, right next to the Hard rock casino. Only asking 1k obo. I really need it gone. IMO, its worth fixing.. But either way, for the price, its all there. Id really rather not part it, I have no time. Baby on the way in a week, and I have 4 jobs I need to finish before xmas. Ill come back tonight to add some things I know Im forgetting. Ill post some pics later. I have to dig for them, Im not at my cp. Some small pics are in this link. http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=120484

    That is not an euro car. It was shipped to Germany, and it was shipped back in '98. I see no signs of any euro trim.

    I had an imported/federalized '87 325i Convertible, and that had all the euro trim, so it's definately not a matter of having to remove it to bring it here.

    Looks like it has potential, but with that hefty price tag, it might take you a while to find yourself some buyers.

      I think it is. At the time, I was told FL had safety inspection. So when it was brought to the states, it had to meet US specs. Ive only lived down here a few years, I may be wrong.

      Price was a mistype, sorry. Asking $1000.

          Havent even had a chance to wash it. Its really caked with dirt from sitting a while. Thought I took some interior pics, Ill get some tomorrow if theres interest. Drivers side is similar to this side.. Botched. Its painted over, so it doesent exactly jump out at you. C-caps are missing in the pic, I have spares.

          Everything in this car works. Windows work, sunroof is a crank. Odometer, tach, and speedo works. Dash is not cracked and in perfect condition. Front and rear door cards are black and in good condition. Its missing a radio, but has some decent 6.5" Kenwood speakers. Also missing a few small plastic interior peices.

          Like I said, needs some work. But it would make a perfect auto-x car/ parts car / daily commute

            thanks.

            Noone interested in coming by and making an offer? Have some E30 parts you'd like to trade? Wheels? etc..

            Contemplating craigslist. But I dont want a bunch of crackheads showing up at my house offering me 200 bucks.

                        I know that US service people can buy US spec cars through the PX/BX. I used to live down the street from a guy that bought a 1991 318iS brand new when he was stationed there in the Army. This car could have been bought and sold through a few service people before it was shipped back stateside. That would explain why no CARFAX exists before 1998.

                            The rust

                            Its really not all that bad. There are other very small bubbles here and there, nothing that you can see with my pos camera.
