For Sale is my 1991 318is purchased back in 2003. NO RUST ANYWHERE !!!!! Keep in mind that I have only taken this out for test driving after any work that was preformed. I never intended for this to be any type of project car but i just kept upgrading and removing the old and putting in new. It all started because I purchased and gave the seller a deposit for the car to be picked up the following day . Turns out that evening the car ,parked on a corner street was crashed into slightly, hit and run, ( front drivers fender and damaged the hood as well). Well i got this car with no additional monies being exchanged. Purchased these parts and the project started. Remember over the course of the years i have done all the work myself.In finding out that this particular car had a problem with the profile gasket, i decided to change this out. Upon tearing down I figured why not go all the way to the head gasket , as it was leaking some oil. So I did change out also had head inspected ,pressure tested new valves were suggested and installed. The block was also inspected and cleaned, all corresponding parts were installed new(Timing chain,tensioners,water pump,radiator hoses,heater hoses etc.) Throttle Body gasket and hoses, While working on motor, trans. was removed cleaned and fresh fluid ,rear main bearing seal changed out. New motor mounts,exhaust gaskets. On intake all vacuum hoses, boot and MAP Control and added an aftermarket cold air intake. The original air box is included. The alternator,power steering pump and all belts have been changed. The Air Cond, is disconnected and no belt is on. I was going to change that out as well, (Condensor and Drier are new). While the engine was lifted I also changed the power steering rack (rebuilt) Oil pan was removed cooling fins were chipped, so new OIL PAN with a new gasket installed. Front end had new control arms with bushings, new stabilizer bushings, inner and outer tie rods with Wheel Alignment. New Front hubs, rotors, and brake pads. Rear end had half axels changed, were leaking grease, new shocks and upper supports. Rear rotors and brake pads done as well. 4 new faulken tires with original basketweave rims and new caps. Rear diff, was topped off and cleaned.Underneath New Center Bearing on driveshaft,New Guimbo Disc Exhaust is new, convertor removed new pipe and has SS flow thru with new OEM muffler all the way back.The fender and hood were changed out with aftermarket pieces. My fault there because they don't align perfectly. Even though it looks good. I had this car painted 08/02/2012 , over 1400.00 spent with receipt ( asked for extra paint on hand if needed). Have not washed or had any water touch it. Again I began putting bumpers and moulding back on and have caused some ting scratches and chipping at spots. My problem is Im doing this by myself. The interior is in excellent condition no cracks on dash or torn seats. There is some material peeling from the sides of the passenger seat, I have never tried to strech and repair, ( shown in pictures) The sunroof cranks works smoothly,all gauges on cluster are working as they should. The OEM radio was removed but is included, a new pioneer radio was installed .The shifter cover is used ok condition, but a new one is included but not installed. I also have the 2 side moulding pieces with all new hardware and drivers side window trim. Additional parts that were changedWater Pump & Thermostat ,Cam Sensor,Crankshaft Sensor,Electric Fuel Pump and Relay ,Starter,Good Used Wiper Motor,New IS Lip,Hold Down For Spare,New blubs for Fog Lights,Side Markers,Brake Light Items known to need attention, Drivers Door Lock non operable from outside,Pass Door Works all doors.Air Cond. As MentionedRear Ash Tray I tried to describe this car the best of my ability its a great gas saving 4 cylinder or a car for a engine swap. I took numerous photos of the work in progress.and will include as many as I can. I dont have any idea what I want for this car as is but have seen others go for at least $5000 to $6000 with no NEW PARTS. This is a break down of my expenses !Purchase Price $2200Parts Invested $1500Entire Paint $1400New Tires $ 400Plus Labor , Numerous Hours , Yes my Choice But Id Guesstimate At A Reputable Auto Repair Shop $3000 GRAND TOTAL OF $8500 But Im LETTING HER GO FOR $6000.00 ITS A STEAL ( Now $5500 )Had Sold But Buyer Never Followed Thru !!! Took Car out for nice 50 mile ride. Handles tight and very responsive,Yes its only a 4 CYLINDER BUT GREAT POWER ! I had it up to 90 MPH with no problem,so the mileage stated is now additional . I dropped the price because now the passenger window is intermittant(at times it stays down and need help pulling up) and Im not putting any more time and money. I have the original MOTOR TREND MAGAZINE FROM 1991 with the reveiw of this BMW 318is. Its includedGOOD LUCK ! PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS !
