    Feeler: 318is 5spd, bad motor?

    I have a 91 318is, dark grey exterior and creme interior. A few days ago while normal driving I pushed in the clutch and the motor stalled with no warning and seized. The only thing I know is that its locked and the oil pick up had a lot of metal fragments when i dropped the pan. I looked through the oil cap and the timing chains were still tight. I had done a compression check last week and it had 180+ in each cylinder. I would believe the head is good but I am not sure. I am not sure if I want to sell it whole or fix it, I have a 83 323i tc baur that I want to put my attention into so I might let the 318 go. I am looking to get around $800 for the car but am open to talk about it. It has steel bumpers on the front but I have the plastic bumpers to go along with the car + few other parts. Please let me know if there is any interest in the car,I will try to get some pics if anybody wants them. for further questions feel free to call or email, 717-756-2426, atvracerx@aol.com, thanks: Jordan

        Worth a call to resurrect a project, given that noone seems to want my parts!

          Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
