`97 318ti Sport for sale!
 

To start off with this is a 1997 318ti Sport with the 5-spd. Its other options were the sunroof, keyless entry and 6-disc cd changer. It's black on black (cloth/leather sport seats).

It currently has 112.9k miles. Visually it's great looking inside and out with the only negative being some touch up spots on the rear bumper from the previous owner. It has a clear title and I have the original MSRP sheet for it. I have done TONS of maintenance, almost everything you can do...so it's ready to go for a long time ahead or even better a 24v swap :cool I've had a few inquiries for purchasing on this car in the past year due to the somewhat rarity and very clean appearance so I know there are some people out there that would be interested.

This car is a hoot to drive around town, it eats turns up like no other...tons of grip! On backroads it's quite impressive even with the M44 as it has the ability to keep up its speed thru the turns. As you will see below basically everything has been replaced within the past year from the clutch, rebuilt driveshaft, cooling system, headliner, wheels/tires, lights, all of the suspension, etc...basically the drivetrain and body is the only thing original left on the car!

I'm asking $7950 OBO, you can PM me or call me (***) ***-****. Please only serious inquires, thanks!

You have a really nice car, it's too bad you're doing to sell it. Makes me feel sad that I paid close to that amount for mine. If I didn't already have a ti I would want to get yours. Definitely worth $8.5K-$9K in my opinion.

Good luck with the future sale.

Interested in selling te e46 brakes that are not mounted?

Man, thatd be perfect. Just about $3k more than Im looking to spend on a TI though lol :cool:

Not parting out anything, thanks though.

The pattern I see around here is this, Take the Mid value from the Blue book for the un-modded car and add 1/3 of what your upgrades cost and that about the most most people will spend. Selling modded cars is almost always a loss in the long run sad to say...

Oh I know, just seeing if there is anyone interested.

OK, let me know if that changes. Was I wrong? I mean they're not on the car yet right?

No they are not on the car at the moment but if I keep it they will be or I will give them to the next owner if I sell it.

nice clean car wind! i hope your sale goes well you've helped me a lot with brake questions i want to say thanks again! also is that your yellow m3 next to the ti ?? lol

Glad I could help, no that's not my M3 ;)

Lowered asking price of $7,950!

Sold!
