    Feeler, considering selling my 318is...again

    BTW, Yahoo seems to have pooched my domain, so pm is best until they fix it.

    Got the itch to work more on my e34 project now that this one is done, so I'm thinking about selling the 318is again.

    Basically I bought it from the original owner and it was 100% stock, so I decided to fix everything before upgrading to any aftermarket parts.

    White 91 318is
    ~165k miles
    Complete rebuild of the suspension and drivetrain. Car is drum tight, no rattles or suspension issues of any kind.

    Z3 steering rack
    e90 seats
    H&R OE sport springs w/Bilstein TC shocks
    braided brake lines
    Tons of new parts. Every bit of rubber in the suspension has been replaced, including M3 front CAB's, new control arms, upper strut bushings, new subframe bushings, rear control arm bushings, rear shock mounts (upgraded), motor mounts, trans mounts, diff mount, etc...
    Only used factory, Lemforder, Febi, Meyle parts where available
    New exhaust
    Complete shifter rebuild
    Momo competition steering wheel (have original airbag wheel as well)
    Too much to list.

    I just put a set of Borbet Type C 15" wheels on the car with Toyo Proxy S4's. The wheels are hub-centric and correct offset. Also includes factory 14" mesh wheels with snow tires on them.

    Only issue is some scrapes in front of the rear wheel wells that I haven't bother to get painted, and cracked paint on the spoiler and driver's rearview mirror.

    I've documented them as I blogged the car:


    $5000 with the Borbet wheels, or $4500 with just the factory wheels. Price does not include the bike rack, but if you want it we can work something out.




    Here is a dirty pic with the new wheels, car hadn't been washed in a few days so it's messy here.

          Couple of details on the car:
          Purchased from the original owning family (was passed down from father to son-in-law) so I have receipts from day 1
          Has a Kenwood KIV-BT900 media receiver with speakerphone and full color lcd display.
          Rear speakers were upgraded to factory premium plate speakers, front speaker are Nakamich 5.25"
          Upgraded the headlights to H4 units (much safer than stock)

          The front seats are from an 06 3-series and are much firmer than stock, with no slop in them at all (unlike the old seats) howerver they are from a 4-door so they don't flip forward. Hasn't been an issue for me as I'm 6' and at that size an e30 is really a 2-seat car. I was planning to try to find some e90 sport seats, but never got around to it. They are mounted with an adapter plate, so the stock mounts have not been modified at all. I like the stock seats, but once you try e90 seats with no rocking or slop, there is no going back.

          Got some updated images:

                        Wasn't surprised you got what you were asking, I was watching CL hoping and crossing my fingers that the price might fall a little bit. /cheap r3ver
