Car History
I am the second owner of this car. I purchased it from the original owner on 11/6/04 with 70,xxx miles. Original owner purchased it new from Baron BMW of Kansas City. It comes with a full set of original keys, books, records, new car promotional materials, window sticker, etc. You will be hard pressed to find a 318ti with a more original set of records. No accidents, no paint work, no body work. This car has never been driven in the winter or in snow and has rarely been in the rain. Rust free. This is a complete, no "stories" car.

Modifications:
Shortly after purchasing the car I decided to do a M3 3.2 L S52 swap. I purchased a donor car with a 1999 M3 S52 engine and transmission (50k miles) for the swap and did a OBD1 conversion at the same time due to the fact the '95 318ti is OBD1. Parts for the OBD1 conversion were intake, ECU with AA chip, AA Cold Air intake and 21.5 "pink top" injectors along with OBD1 wiring harness and a few other bits. I did the transmission "stick rests at 5th gear when cold" fix, UUC short shift kit, Rogue Engineering transmission mounts, Stewart water pump, fan delete, "Dr. Vanos" vanos upgrade, updated primary tensioner, secured oil pump nut modification, Supersprint Headers and exhaust, Magnaflow hi-flow cats, Aero stainless resonators and added the factory e36 keyless entry alarm system. Car had 72,438 miles at completion of the swap.

I have a OBD1 E36 M3 cluster that I planned to swap in but did not do it due to the fact that I could not find anyone locally that could set the proper mileage on the M3 cluster. It has under 12k miles on it so the mileage simply needs to be increased to match the current mileage
