    1986 316i slicktop

    I know it has an "is" badge but its a 316i.. guess the painter lost the "i". Imported from spain, two owner car, bought from an older gentlemen. He's owned it since he was 19..he is now 41 and passed the torch to me :) its a hardtop, nice euro bumpers, m-tech wheel, manual crank windows and non-pop outs. has no PS.. car has ireland engineering springs thanks to my friend adam. Words can't express how much I love driving this car!
    Thanks for reading

    - James

        That car has to be so incredibly light, that would be an awesome track project. Makes me sad knowing my 318 could never be as light despite my efforts.

            Awesome man. I know what you mean. I have a 320i with crank windows and a slick top too. Love the simplicity. I think you should go for traditional 15" Euroweaves to keep it classic looking.

                      -OP, Clean car, how common are slicktops over there?

                      -R3v, Did the US ever get early model slicktops?

                        he is in the US (imported)

                        i think some early 318i cars had no sunroof.

                              That is an excellent find.
                              Not everyday you see a Euro model of that rarity, and in that shape.
                              Please, if you would, post some high-res shots of that beauty.
                              Congrats! :up:
