No Dumping: The 1-owner 318is

[dvnchrstphr]

I love the 318. The M42 is great engine and honestly, the car's geared perfectly to be peppy and not FEEL slow. These cars deserve more respect than all the M/S52 swaps they get.

I agree. I really enjoy the feel of the M42.

Yo - great write-up. Fun to read and hear about Otto - I wish I could turn out to be as cool as him - not off to a good start..

Anyways - ya - glad to hear you're keeping it close to original.. I've gone s52 in my 91 318is and still have regrets for not keeping the m42 in there. Yes, the oil pan hit everything in SF but she was a dear. Still love my e30 and glad to see you taking care of yours!

there's no doubt it in my mind that the market for clean 318is' is skyrocketing.

88+ cars in general are skyrocketing.

Sad to hear that he sold it

Very sad to hear it's sold. I hope the new owner deserves it and takes care of it.

[Vtec?lol]

Damn.
I kinda feel bad for Otto. The story was epic and then OP sells. Nice profit OP

Amazing find. Don't ever sell it.

And then you sold it. Lame.

If all goes as planned then, in about a week or so I'll have a story akin to this; albeit maybe not as cool ;)
