*SOLD*: '91 318is
1991 BMW 318is (E30)
VIN: WBAAF9310MEE69769
Diamond-black metallic with tan cloth interior
1.8L fuel injected 4-cylinder
5-speed manual transmission
Limited-slip differential
Power windows and locks
I'm saying goodbye to my E30. I've got a Subaru BRZ on the way! I've had this car for two years; it's treated me pretty well, and I've done a ton of work, both preventative and reactive. I'd comfortably do a long road trip with it.
Current mileage is approximately 192,000. The engine was replaced in 2010 after the timing chain idler sprocket failed. The replacement has about 150,000 miles on it and was thoroughly serviced. All hoses and gaskets including the front and rear main seals -- but not the head gasket -- were replaced, as were all the timing chain components. It runs quietly and starts immediately every time. It neither burns nor leaks oil.
There is some surface rust (visible in pictures), but nothing structural. There are two cracks in the dashboard; otherwise the interior is in excellent condition.
The A/C worked when I brought the car home, but currently does not.
Partial list of maintenance I've performed; all new parts were used:
New battery in May 2012
Massachusetts state in spection in May 2012
Replaced rear axles (due to torn CV boots)
Replaced rear parking brake backing plates
Replaced all parking brake hardware
Installed steel braided rake lines
Replaced all hard brake lines
Replaced hard and soft fuel lines
Replaced water pump
Replaced fuel pump
Replaced muffler hanger
Replaced throttle cable
Rebuilt all four brake calipers
Brake pads and rotors are all fresh
Installed a used 3-spoke steering wheel
And because we all know
:
Asking $2,700.
