My car was overheated this morning. Things are looking bad. At least I blew the head gasket, or cracked the head. Anyway, I think I would just let the car go. Car is a great candidate for engine swap and/ or track car. Here is what it is:
- 1996 base 318ti (with added sport side skirt and painted bumpers)
- hellrot red
- 190,000 miles
- Bilstein shocks and Bavauto springs (installed 15,000 miles ago)
- Depo lights
- 17 inch radial type wheels from E46
- Newly installed margnaflow Cat. (2 weeks a go)
- New window regulator
- Black/ blue interior (sport seats) from member ZeroG's (Chad) 99 318ti
- Non working A/C (maybe just a leak)
- blown head engine.
- Car was involved in a front end accident last year. Only the hood and the radiator support were damaged (radiator is ok). The car was home fixed by me but never repainted. Thus, the paint on the hood and the front fender dont match.

I rate over all condition of this car about the average, but the interior is 8 out of 10. Please let me know what should I ask for? here is a picture of the car 10 months ealier. Note that it doesn't look as good as it is in the picture, but close.

Well, if you decide to keep it, I have an m44 with less than 45k miles on it if you're interested.
