Hey everyone, I unfortunately don't have a 318ti and if I did it wouldn't be for sale, I do however have something I figured the guys over here would want.
I'm not sure what the rules are on linking to other forums, so I'm going to copy and paste what I posted on the bimmerforums
I bought this car a little over a year ago as a project, it's been in various posts on the E36 section. I bought the car with the DASC already installed, it needed a lot of work when I bought it, and now it still needs some, but has been daily driven for the past year. I just bought an E46 and now I have no time to put into this thing, so I'm letting it go. The details are as follows.
1995 BMW 318i
-340k miles with a full drivetrain rebuild at 277k miles (at same time DASC was installed)
-5-speed manual trans with SSK
-I converted the interior to black leather with sports seats but the plastic surrounds on the seats and the bottom portion of the center console are still beige. The PO had started to convert the interior when I bought it, so I continued to do so, those two bits were the only pieces that I couldn't find.
-Car comes with two sets of wheels, 16" style 42's and stock alloy bottlecaps, they're mismatched because one of the 16's has a small dent and one of the 15's has a flat... :rolleyes:
-Has a Vogtland Junior Cup Kit installed less than 10k miles ago
-Has an audio system in the trunk that was tastefully done by the PO, 10" sub molded into the side of the trunk and 2 amps mounted on the back of the back seat
-Has a Compustar alarm system
-Has a rebuilt Limited Slip diff
-New battery 1 year ago
The car came with a full list of the rebuild with the receipts. As I said, I bought this car as a project and I do still think it has a lot of potential. That being said, there are some issues with the car.
-The oil pan gasket has a small leak (about 3/4 a quart a month)
-The pulley's need to be replaced
-The shifter bushings are in bad shape, shifter has a lot of side to side wobble
-There is an exhaust leak and the custom cat-back job that the PO did was pretty bad as it was before the leak, I intended to change it the day I bought it, just never sourced an OEM setup and there were other issues that were more important
-There is a small vacuum leak which causes the idle to sometimes fluctuate slightly, most likely from the short ram intake (again, never sourced an OEM intake box)
-Driver's side window clip is broken, window still works fine, just needs guidance at the top
-AC doesn't work
-Missing a fog light
-PO repainted the car, but he did a pretty poor job, from 10ft the car looks fantastic, but up close you can see the areas that he messed up
I'm sure there's stuff I'm forgetting in the positive and negative areas, but I'll post them when I think of them. I would be parting the car out if I had the time too, so my loss is your gain. The supercharger alone is worth my asking price, but I really don't have time to pull it off so if you want it, you take the car with it.
PM me if you're interested.

I bought the car for $1500 a little over a year ago and have since put in about $1000 in parts, I'm not even trying to break even on this, just trying to give you all a fair deal ;)
