‘96 M-Tech, Alaska Blue Automatic

Hey everyone, time to let go of my ti. Purchased in 2016 to serve as my daughter’s first car, and I invested a lot of time and money to make it a nice driver for her along the way. Original M-tech car with black & gray millpoint interior. Original sport wheels, plus a spare set of non-staggered M Contours. M-sport steering wheel. Glass euro headlamps. Did a complete front suspension overhaul, new steering rack, replaced all A/C system components (except the evaporator) plus heater core in 2016. Recent front windshield replacement. Recent brake overhaul including new rotors, but they could use resurfacing since the car has basically sat idle for the last 2 years.

Tons of repairs and maintenance I don’t have time to list out, plus lots of spare parts accumulated along the way. Unfortunately in 2019, the head gasket gave way, and even though it technically will still run, exhaust gases bleed into the cooling system. Well over 200k miles, so it’s time for an engine swap anyway. Speaking of which I also have a ‘97 328i sedan which I purchased as an engine donor. Will throw the donor car in at the right price.

Willing to part with everything for $2k, which of course is far below all the money I’ve sunk into it. Happy to share pics and answer any questions if there’s any interest. Thanks!

I’m in the Memphis area, btw.

Any pics and is it a 5
Speed manual?

Thanks for the interest. As the title states, auto transmission. I can post pics after this rare mid-south ice storm melts in a few days.

No rush we’re getting an ice storm here in Dallas

I actually lost traction and drove into the shoulder this morning from the ice storm. I'm down in Austin, looking for another 318ti, of course.

Also interested in pictures.

This was from last year. Just happened to still have it in my camera roll …

It looks just like my old Ti

I'm in Little Rock Arkansas and interested in picking up the whole lot. PM me some more pictures when you get out of the ice.

Here’s the 328i engine donor. The guy I bought it from fried the engine harness. Bought a good used harness on the auction site, which will be thrown in with the deal.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9f63ab811f.jpg

Also, I still have the original millpoint door panels and rear seats in storage, along with a ton of other spare parts.

That's pretty much identical to my old Ti. Looks like its missing the M tech back seats. They should be two toned cloth and leather. But no big deal.

Yep, M-tech rear seats and door cards are in storage, still in good shape.

I can't PM you yet. Looks like I don't have enough posts. How can I get in more contact with you?
