1998 318ti Sport for sale - very low mileage This is my first post on this forum, with a bittersweet purpose. After many wonderful years enjoying my 318ti, I must finally offer her up for sale. The car in question is a 1998 318ti Sport in Alpine White, with black leather/black cloth interior and manual transmission. At present, the odometer reads about 37,800 miles. That's right, she has yet to hit 38,000, but probably will before being sold. These are "original miles", not the result of an engine swap or odometer tampering. I am the original owner and have babied this car its entire life. It has been garage-kept for all but two years and has never been through an automatic car wash. (My current exterior detailing routine favors Zaino products.) No person has ever smoked inside, and no fluids ever spilled. Aside from regular maintenance and replacement of defective parts, the car is 100% stock. Though perhaps not much of an asset at this point, even the brakes and tires are original. The car has been serviced at only two shops: BMW of Bellevue (WA) for warranty work and Wolf's Foreign Car Service (San Diego, CA) for all other work since. I have complete records of all maintenance work done for the life of the car. It runs perfectly and still gets amazing gas mileage (~28 city, ~31 highway). My only reason for selling is lack of space; a new sedan will be arriving as my daily driver. Depending on the interest level on this forum ahead of time, I will list the car locally with Auto Trader as we get into early December. In the mean time, please feel free to ask questions. I took plenty of exterior photos (some are unfortunately blurry) last weekend that I can post here or send via e-mail to interested parties. Price is of course a crucial matter. At this point, I am open to offers and suggestions as I attempt to figure out what she's worth. Let me know what other supporting detail would help. It will be sad to see her go, but I get the impression here that she'll make someone else just as happy as she's made me. Update: The photos have been moved. |

Wouldn't that make it a 1997 model year, not a 1998? Quote:

Here's Wikipedia's take. |
The reason I asked was to determine if it had the vented front brakes. My car says July 1998 on the door. What does your car say on the door? Quote:

April '98 production and later for the vented front brakes IIRC. |
Options Some have asked which options were ordered with the car. I may need others to help me answer this question, because at this point I can't remember what came standard and what I had to add to the order. First I'll list a few features the car does not have:

So, do we have any offers yet or are you ready for me to low-ball you and factor in air transportation from Virginia to California, plus $250 in gas to drive it home? -Phil :wink: |

Why did you have to move to cali? If only you were still in bellevue. I wouldn't have to go so far. Your car is in awesome shape. Good luck on the sale. Side note. Looks like those east coast guys are about to move another ti to the east coast. |
