FS: 1997 BMW 318TI M-Tech Sport package - $3400
 

1997 BMW 318ti
Title: Clean, in-hand, no accidents
Transmission: manual, 5-spd
Condition: Bone Stock. 100% Fully Functional. One of the cleanest 318ti's ever. All tires (225/50R16 Bridgestone RE760) and brakes have at least 60% remaining. Clutch is near new. After warm up, temperature gauge is always where it should be (middle). I'd be confident driving it across the country.
I re-stuck the headliner cloth and both window regulators were replaced professionally.

Miles: 174,100
M-Tech Edition
1.9L 4-cyl engine
100% Full Maintenance history available
All keys (including valet key) and all new car documentation are present

- A/C (blows cold!), PS, power windows, power door locks, sunroof, remote keyless entry all work.
- Real Leather seat bolsters & geometrically patterned cloth
- Leather steering wheel
- 16" M-Tech package BMW stock aluminum alloy rims (no curb rash)
- 10 way adjustable sport bucket seats up front
- Folding rear seat backs (makes cargo area cavernous)
- BMW M-tech sport tuned suspension on the venerable E36 chassis

The only aftermarket stuff:
1. Tastefully tinted windows, 2. 8" Subwoofer, 3. Pioneer stereo deck with Aux input and USB connection (stereo sounds great)

I poured money into restoring this car. Driven by mature adults its whole life. Selling due to new reduction in work commute & expansion of family.

Following is a shortened list of the work performed in the last 5 years:
1. Lower control arm bushings (new e36 M3 parts)
2. Rear shock mounts
3. All 4 shocks: rears are Tokico sport, fronts are Monroe
4. Rear subframe bushings
5. Rear trailing arm bushings
6. Clutch change to new stock clutch
7. Clutch arm bushing
8. Upper steering column bearing
9. all 4 tires (very nice Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport, 205/50ZR16)
10. all 4 brakes (PBR Deluxe and Balo discs)
11. brake fluid flushes
12. water pump
13. thermostat
14. serpentine belt
15. idler pully
16. tensioner pully
17. a/c belt, and pully
18. oil filter housing gasket
19. rear hatchback's gas strut
20. Normal inspection 1 & 2 activities (fuel filter, spark plugs, etc...)
21. window tinting: 15% rear, 50% front
22. stock radio replaced w/ Pioneer.
23. HVAC controls light bulb changed
24. new tie-rod assemblies (both sides)
25. Alignment, 3 times under my ownership when suspension maintenance/repairs were performed.
26. seat back swap: driver/passenger
27. All exhaust hangers
28. Front wheel bearings
29. O2 sensor
30. MAF sensor
31. Disassembled and cleaned throttle body, idle control valve
32. Antenna boot fix
33. New fog light bulbs and rear parking light bulbs
34. replace door lock actuators
35. rear sway bar end links

The bads: very slow leak in valve cover gasket (no drips, bottom of car is completely dry) has resurrected itself again but it's very slow. Missing lower horizontal strake in the bottom grille, upper strake still present and fine. Gently sloping dent on right rear fender, just in front of gas cap.

I have MANY more pictures to provide upon inquiry.

I've been on this forum for a fair few things, and thus, I think $3400/obo is a nice price for this community. (I hope I'm right).

Happy holidays

I monitor the ti market just for fun, and in my opinion $3400 for this nicely maintained example is a very fair price to the buyer. GLWTS! John

Thanks for validating my assumptions about the price.
I hope a buyer out there agrees with that 😃

$3400 - Fair price for a well maintained ti. One you bring a cheaper one back up into shape you end up spending easily that much. :cool:

More Images
 

Hi folks,
Attached are some more images to give you an idea of the rounded dent I was referring to at the fuel filler door area. The images are a bit old, but the condition of the dent is unchanged from then, as is the general condition of the car.
