Pearl Black (DiamondSwartz)1991 2 door 318is. 177K 5speed.
The good:
-New transmission
-Z3 shortshift kit
-lowered 1.5" with bilstein gas shocks and
-H&R springs
-slotted rotors,
-3 brand new brake calipers, one rebuilt brake caliper
-SS brake lines
-e36 steeringrack upgrade (3.25 lock to lock, instead of stock 4.25)
-new control arms, tie rods
-keyless entry
-alarm
-"basketweave" 15" wheels (much better looking than stock 14" "bottlecaps"
-new LSD (3.73, much better for highway driving)
-no frame rust
-IS body kit (front/rear spoiler...a little dinged up tho)
-recaro seats/sport interior (driver seat needs replacement tho .. about $150)
-sun roof
-custom hand painted (not by me) two tone pin stripe.
the bad:
-some body rust (pretty bad in spots, but no frame rust)
-wiper motor went (comes with replacement, but not installed)
-there is a problem with the ignition switch, so the tach and fuel gauge and -heater/AC blower aren't getting power.
-turn signal arm is loose (comes with replacement)
-alignment is a bit off (from steering rack swap)
-driver seat is broken, basically needs a replacement (about $150, only 4 bolts)
-engine vibrates a bit. Runs great, but i think one of the mounts is messed up.
extra parts: comes with new-in-box tierods, a wiper motor, turn signal, nice dark grey carpet (car has beige installed).
This would make a great project car for someone looking for a project. BMW e30s are surprisingly easy to work on and there is a TON of info online about them. I bought this car as a project car, but i am moving into an apt with a garage. please don't make me junk this wonderful car. it has all the class of a BMW with non of the pretension. I have never met a girl that didn't think it was cutest car ever.
Also, i have about 90% of the parts for an m50 swap. just about everything but the ECU. (I have m50, tranny, driveshafts, brake booster, mounts, etc)
