Just picked this up. Never thought I would own a 4 door or an m42 car after owning two m20 powered e30's, but my opinions quickly changed as I fell in love on the ride home. Was not expecting much from a 318i and was planning on an immediate engine swap but i'm impressed with how peppy it is!
Brake pedal is a little spongey and has a fuel leak around the filter somewhere... but runs and drives great. Suspension all feels tight as well. PO recently had a local BMW dealer give the car a once over and only issue they found was the fuel leak.
240,000 and change on the broken odometer, but engine was replaced at some point. Two owner unmolested car with lots of documentation, og window sticker and complete tool kit :). Plus a couple boxes of goodies. Seller was super nice and wanted to be sure it was going to a good home. Was his daughter's car who moved out west. Car has been driven across the country multiple times. (He cleaned everything out of the car minus the mermaid air freshener which i oddly enjoy for some reason)
Immediate plans are to fix the brake / fuel issue. Next is to give the front valance some love along with the rest of the exterior. Need a set of ellipsoids as well. Threw my euro grills on. Trying to decide between an IS lip or repairing and installing the mtech 2 front valance I've had laying around from my first car.
Thoughts?
