    so i just got a 318is...

    i just got a 318is and ill post some pics in the members rides section when i pick it up on monday. I got it for 3950. I kind of regret it now because i think i payed too much for it. it has 130000 miles but is in exelent condition, except for the paint which is great minus the key marks. It has some decent 17in wheels and tires with some 215 toyos. it has a stupid sony cd player and has just had like $700 put into the front end. I could tell he wasnt bullshitting about this because the front end was very tight unlike my last 318is.

    ever since i wrecked my last 318 (4 months ago) i have been searching for another 318is in my area specificly red over black like this one and i have not found any. even if i got one off ebay for like 3500 i would still have to pay 1000 to ship it.

    do u thihk i payed too much?

          That's not bad, up here you have to pay 6-8k for a decent one.

              Not bad. I paid more, but I've got like no mileage. ;)
              The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                Sometimes you can find awsome deals, sometimes there are hideous ones. The only thing bad about my car is the autotragic and the shitty tokico shocks+springs.

                  i think it would be a good deal if it hadnt been keyed. Hopfully i will be able to get some of them out with a buffer

                        Not bad in KS like Ryan said.

                        Car looks good, just need the ellips (amer. or euro) and IS lip and some springs and your done.

                          I'm selling my Infinity lip soon Nick if you are interested. I would rather sell it local rather then ship.

                          Just needs to be sanded and resprayed.

                              Those are Toyo Proxies FZ4's Nick. Those are CRAP tires IMO. Same tires I had brand new (1000 or so miles) on the Jetta when it lost traction and flew off a cliff.

                              Just say no to cheap eBay wheels.
