1998 318TI M-Sport 5 Speed
 

This 318TI was my very first BMW. I always had plans to keep it forever but those plans changed. I moved to Hawaii over 3 years ago and left the car with my father (still couldn't bring myself to sell it). He no longer drives the car and would like me to remove it from there driveway. It is located in Western MA.

Some details:
Color: Titansilber Metallic
Interior: Black (Sport seats split leather\cloth)
5 speed manual
188k miles

Condition (as relayed from my father):
Passenger side wiper arm doesn't move in sync with drivers side
Circle of rust behind drivers door (common area)
Runs and drives fine at this time

The car has a number of mods done to it:
Hartge Exhaust
H&R springs\adjustable shocks
Euro headlights with 6k HID and angel eyes (I believe they were Depos and the angel eyes are now disconnected).
Clear single lights (front and rear)
Heated M3 mirrors
Engine all stock with many common issues resolved (water pump, plastic coolant T on the back of the head, etc).
Stereo:
This car was built by Tweeter years ago and was featured in their showroom. All custom and sounds amazing (super clear and accurate). I will attach photos but the build list is below:
Alpine CVA-1005
Alumapro 5 farad capacitor
MBQ 4" PCE210 (Fronts)
MBQ 4" RCE210 (Rear)
MBQ 5 1/4" PWE130 (Mid Bass)
All with matching crossovers from MBQ
(2) Alpine 12" SWR1221D (Subs)
(2) Alpine MRVF340 (Interior Amps)
Alpine MRDM1000 (Sub Amp)
Sony Playstation 2 (now removed)
PV140 Power Inverter (For PS2)
Dynamat for sound deadening (all interior panels including trunk)
All MonsterCable Connectors and wiring.

The car currently has BMW steal wheels and snow tires on it (1 new). I was running 18 inch AC Schnitzer type II wheels though (and spacers). A pothole damaged one of the tires and took a small chunk (smaller than a dime) out of one of the lips. They are available with the car along with the stock wheels.

It was dealer serviced for most of it's life then I found a good indy mechanic. Has always had synthetic at very low mile oil changes.

I honestly don't know what to ask for the car. Parting out the wheels and stereo alone would net a lot of money (stereo was around 6-7k I believe at the time).

I can either answer any of your questions on here, email, phone, or put you in touch with my father. I work remotely for a company in MA and will be back from Sept 5th - 24th and can show the car then also.

As stated the car is driving fine at this time. I believe the airbag light is on (seat sensor) and the inspection is either expired or will be soon. So if you are going to drive it home just a heads up.

Please make me an offer!

I LOVE the color combo. I've been looking for a clean Ti for a few weeks and was hoping to find one by the first week of Sept.

Problem is I think with all that stereo gear (which I have no use for) the car is way more valuable than I can spend. I've been looking at a bunch of Ti's around here with ~150k miles for ~$2000. You are nowhere near that price huh? Most I can spend is $2014 (long but good story).

If you could remove the gear (hard from HI, I know...) maybe it would get near my price? Looking to buy immediately so maybe that would make Dad happy.

Let me know thanks!

BMWME - Can you please PM me your email or phone number so we can discuss. Maybe we can work something out. Thanks!

Can't seem to PM. But my email is rf14dmb at hotmail.com

Thanks

That's the neatest audio gear installation I have ever seen. Is the car lowered? GLWS. John

Thank you. Yes, the car is lowered with Koni adjustables and H&R springs.

Could you please send me an email if the car is still available? I am near Boston and like to see if we can work something out. Email is koroshjj at yahoo.com. Thanks.

For Sale Update?
 

Hi, I'm in Boston and would be interested in taking a trip out to W MA to have a look, if it's still available. Scott
