Sold!!!
For sale is a very clean original example of a 1991 318is. The car was sold new in California and remained on the west coast until January of 2019. It has zero rust and is in fantastic shape given it’s age. The car was always looked after and it shows. (I have service records dating back to the early 2000’s)
Details
1991 318is Brilliantrot 188k miles - All vin tags are present, paint is original with the exception of the drivers door and quarter panel. Body is in very good shape with just a few door dings. Paint is in very nice shape and cleans up very well. Small dent on the front valence.
Tan Cloth Interior - Seats are in very nice shape without any tears, Dash has ZERO cracks.
All functions work: windows, lights, antenna, heater, odometer, radio etc...
Engine and transmission are in great shape. I have owned a couple of 318’s and this one definitely feels a lot stronger then the others, it pulls hard to redline without any hesitation. Transmission shifts nice and smooth without any clunks
Suspension feels nice and solid and does not make any noises
Maintenance
Rack and pinion replaced at 125,000
Oil pan gasket replaced at 141,000
Heater core replaced at 161,000
Valve cover gasket replaced at 171,000
Brakes 170,000
Front Suspension refreshed at 170,000
Tires 175,000
Battery replaced March 2017
Things that may need attention
Cluster light bulb on the right side needs to be replaced.
AC does not blow cold
Clear coat has started to peel on the top of the drivers quarter panel
Mirrors could use a repaint
Rear bushings should be replaced. They are ok for now but a fresh set will really help the rear feel a bit more planted.
Overall the car is an excellent example of a 318is that gets plenty of compliments everywhere it goes. It is an absolute pleasure to drive and I would not hesitate to take it across county tomorrow. Mileage will continue to go up as I try and drive it as often as I can. The only reason for the sale is that have my eye on an E34 M5. Clean title in my name and I can also share the carfax report with those who are interested
