        just look for rust, half-assed modifications, and suspension parts that are wearing out. basically check it out how you would with any other used car.

                Dude. Seriously, if you bought that, take it to a mechanic. Any car that's not hitting on all cylinders is immediately noticeable.

                    As in it's not a 6 cylinder car.

                        what I heard in the video was some serious timing component issues.
                        what you did to this car is like getting a supermodel naked and willing to do anything you please. now here you are faced with ths once in a lifetime opportunity and then you squander it by making her fuck you in the butt with a 24" strap on. you are a sad, silly little boy.

                                You should take up his offer^^^^

                                Are you aware that the 318 is a 4-cylinder, meaning it's "missing 2 cylinders", aka it should be a 325 which has 6-cylinders.

                                318i = 4-cylinders
                                325i = 6 cylinders

                                The 318 is a lot slower than the 325, but it's great on gas mileage. You should look for a 325i.

                                                    I would love it if somebody were to come out with me, I emailed him to find out specifically were it is. When he emails me back I will pm you with details. Thanks.
