    Brilliant 1991 318is, 2500 need gone asap

    Trying to move this car, I found a 4runner I want, so the time has come.

    1991 Brilliantrot 318is
    lsd, crank sunroof, power windows
    ~200k mile, broken odo this spring (according to po)

    Motor:
    Every seal from hg up replaced in October, oem hg, vr gaskets
    (hg wasn't actually blown, ended up being a worn coolant hose causing mild overheating)
    oem head bolts, new exhaust studs and nuts
    New thermostat and water pump
    New coolant hoses
    fresh spark plugs, oil, and coolant
    The motor still has all of it's original cross hatching in the block, this motor is in pretty stellar mechanical condition

    Suspension:
    Ground control coil overs
    GC camber plates
    Garagistic front strut brace
    Coil overs ride good, no squeaks. I drive it from Yakima to Seattle quite often, even my 60 year old dad finds it bearable.

    Brakes/wheels:
    15x8 trm motorsport wheels ~3k miles on them, super lightweight, makes a noticeable difference in acceleration and handling
    225 Kuhmo Ecsta AST, same mileage as the wheels. I was pretty impressed with how well these handled. It was a surprise to me.
    Garagistic braided brake lines, i have a matching clutch line i could throw in as well
    Brembo rotors and Bosch pads all around. (actually rear set might be on the shelf in my garage, but they will be included for sure)

    Cons:
    wear on drivers seat
    broken speedo
    black rear bumper, no cracks in it, idk why it's painted black
    damage on rear passenger qp below taillight
    mismatched front fenders one is zinno red, other one is a German
    no is spoiler, I could source one for you if you're interested
    loud exhaust, not unbearable. It sounds very much like an m3 (s14)

    That's about it. I daily drive it and it's been plenty reliable. It handles like a Miata but you won't ever be questioned where you dress hair at. It's a fun car and I really love it, but it's time for me to take a break from BMW's. I think that 3k is a hell of a deal for this rare of a car, but you could shoot me an offer and I'd consider it. Pretty firm at 3k though. I'll see if I can't get some pics of, but I hate flicker so I might just link a cl ad. Or you could text me for pics. I had this car at e30 picnic and a 4 year old told me it was his favorite car there, so there's that lol.

    2500 !!!

              Solid price for the car. Someone should pick it up, kinda tempted myself...

                I think it's a very fair price. I just need something with 4wd, I know I'll regret selling this one.

                  ...for $200 but the set of winter tires/wheels from ballarde30 and you are all set! I assume your car already has the LSD.

                      Hi Hank! Buddy of mine is collecting clean e30s, and he has a thing for 318s. I'll forward this to him.

                      4Runner is a solid choice. You might recall I have one in the household (not for sale).

                        This car certainly isn't the cleanest e30 on the road, despite that it's pretty kick ass to drive.

                        Bump, 2500 if someone wants it
