Hey I found this 318is e30 on craigslist, and I absolutely love these cars. I've never owned one. What should I look for when viewing the car? Tips/suggestions? Thanks.

Make sure it has all 4 wheels and tires. It'll be a PITA driving it home without them.2007 Range Rover Sport S/CComment

yeah, in order to receive constructive feedback, you will have to show us the subject that we need to scrutinize.
in other words, POST THE LINK!!
And on a separate note, I am selling a 318is. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=179538Comment

Well, it looks like you live in San Diego.
The only two 318iS's on craigslist in San Diego both look really nice. Though $5,000 dollars seems way too expensive for a 4-cylinder.

there's a lot more info on m42club.com specific to the 318is and things to look for when buying one.
Things that come to mind are timing chain/gears (pointy teeth are bad, should have a flat section on top of the tooth), upper oil pan bolts tend to come loose, and the timing case profile gasket. Those 3 and more are covered very well at m2club as well as here if you scour the m42 section a bit.Comment
