'97 318ti and '98 318ti-M parts cars
 

I have 2 318ti cars that can be used for parts:

#1: 1998 M series manual. Black/black. Hit on the left door/fender. Damage to front fender, wheel suspension, door, A-pillar, rocker panel. The A-pillar/rocker panel damage is what made this too expensive for me to consider fixing. Engine still runs, but car is not drivable because the front left wheel angles out.

#2: 1997 manual. Black/grey cloth. Hit from behind. Damage to rear deck, bumper, both rear quarter panels. Likely rear frame damage as the impact buckled the back of the car underneath. The car is currently not drivable because the impact knocked one radiator mount off and coolant leaks.

When the '98 got hit, I kept it because I wanted another 318ti and I figured it would be good for parts. The '97 just got hit this week and the insurance company is going to total it. I don't have room for both cars, so I'm looking to sell one or both.

The body shop said it might be possible to take the parts from the '97 and repair the '98. However, that would involve cutting the A-pillar/rocker panel from both cars and welding it in.

The cars are located in Austin, Texas and will need to be towed away.

Hello! Id be interested in the M exterior rub strips please. The three pieces for the passenger side assuming they are in good shape. If you want to sell the set and the drivers side is undamaged, I'll take all six pieces. Otherwise, I just need the passenger side. I would be interested in pics please.

If you have heated sport seats, Cali top, M3 or Z3 steering wheel or M3 Mirrors, I am ready to paypal. Thanks! :cool:

'97 interior Black/Grey panels (all 4)? Pics?
Thanks

I'm not quite ready to part out the car just yet. If I can't find someone to take the whole car, then I'll look into parting it out.

I'll be able to add some pictures early next week. If you're interested in just certain parts, let me know and I'll be sure to take pics of that.

Are the cars complete? Everything there?

I added pics of the black/grey '97 with rear damage. I'll add some of the '98 shortly.

Everything is complete on both cars and both engines still run. I'm probably not going to be able to part out the black/grey '97. The insurance company will likely reach a settlement early next week and I don't have room to store it. If someone is interested in it, they would need to take the whole vehicle.

what are you wanting for the 97?

parts?
 

Need speedo instument cluster, only have $50

I'm interested in the 98'. Are you parting that one out or selling it as whole?

I may have a local buyer for the '98, so I'm going to hang onto that for now.

For the '97, I'll take $100 over whatever the insurance would sell it to me for. I should hear early next week from the insurance company about the settlement. I'm sure they'll want to close quickly, so I'd need the car to be picked up quickly to avoid any storage charges from the body shop. I don't have the ability to tow it or the space to store it. If anyone is still interested, private message me so we can start working out the details.

Sent you a PM

Do you have a shift boot available?
