FWIW, I think the readers are on crack.

Feeling like a lot of people are going to call Crack Pipe on me at $12K - which I feel is the ceiling for this car..

CL listing link

I'm the second owner of ~15 years. ~$16K+ invested for sake of health and optimum maintenance condition. ALL wear-items replaced. Drives like a dream and better-than-new ! Magical. Very fun. ~30mpg. Great daily.

NEW: Dunlop Tires, Optima Red-top Battery, Filters (fule/oil/air), Oil, Spark plugs, wiper blades, etc.

Suspension and drive-train fully refurbished.
Limited Slip Differential. SuperSprint Exhaust system. Full UUC Short-throw shift hardware.
Refurbished +1 size European-spec BBS Basketweave wheels. Very proper to the car.
Racing Dynamics side skirts.
Lowering springs w/ Bilstein sport shocks. (original springs included)
Sound system with Polk-Audio front components, 10" Boston Acoustics sub, and Kenwood amplification.
MOMO steering wheel (rare). (original airbag wheel included). MOMO pedals. MOMO floor mats.
The main dash/console panel is specific to a 1984-only, German-super-base 316i model, that does not incorporate a clock or "computer" .. (it's more-symmetrical and de-cluttered which is why I was attracted to it as a very specific part..) Original console panel included.
Coil-On-Plug conversion performed with new, OE-appropriate German Bremi coil packs.
Updated/superseded oil pump components, profile gasket, timing chain guides, timing chain tensioner, etc. parts installed.
Steering rack upgraded to a tighter-ratio e36 rack. Poly steering coupling. Welded-in/reinforced/powder-coated front subframe.. with new engine and transmission mounts. Very smooth with intuition-like steering and handling.
Rear sway bar updated to thicker e30/M3/convertible version.
OMG this car handles well !
Marc-D performance chip.
George Graves interior dimmer switch.
Sport seats/interior in great condition. All bolsters good/solid.
Map-light mirror upgrade.
Leather parking brake boot.
One year only car: Last-ish year of e30 run, with a 16-valve, 4 cylinder engine featuring: timing chain and header-style exhaust manifold from factory.
Fun fact: this 318is is equipped with a functioning cruise control system installed by myself using parts from other BMW cars. Cruise control was not an option on this model car from the factory.
Clean Carfax.. Clean title.
Rust free. Not driven winters. Lovingly cared-for..

- almost certainly
- if ordered with it, yes

getting it registered is going to be a different adventure, but 11k landed is *not bad*. that touring tech 2 bootlid spoiler is a unicorn item.

[roguetoaster]

I'd say sub 8k is a reasonable, but not great, landed cost for a sort of B grade or less touring. 11k is already registered in the US sort of territory (CA excluded) with basic maintenance done.

In Cali a non mtech2 touring is 10-15k money on any shape. If I could negotiate down(unlikely) but possibly the car has been listed for a while and I doubt the big box car dealership knows the value of a mtech2 touring. Also I have residence in Arizona alot easier to register it here I believe.

I dunno about that the suspension looks broken to me.

I see irony in the fact that this car is listed on Japanese car trade.

Someone in Germany needs to buy it and plaster JDM type stickers all over it.
