318ti.org forum - NH 1999 M-Sport For Sale

For sale is my 1999 318ti M-Sport. I am the 3rd owner and have owned this car since 2009. I enjoyed upgrading it and driving it until 2015. At that point I decided to refresh the paint. There was (and still is) zero rust as the car has been garaged by all owners. It had a few dings and scratches and I felt that a fresh paint job would look nice. There was NO body damage, this was purely a cosmetic upgrade I wanted to do. Long story short the paint job was not the best. I did not have the funds to have it redone, so it sat in my garage until this past summer when I decided to move forward with a new/better paint job. Since then I have come to the realization I am no longer able to physically work on the car and thus have lost my motivation to move forward with the restorative paint job & reassembly.

What is left is a wonderful opportunity for someone. The car still runs & drives great. In its current state it is almost completely stripped and ready for the paint booth. The interior, albeit a bit dusty, is in great condition and the headliner is not sagging. I have detailed maintenance and upgrade records. Here are the details:
