Default 1996 318ti - Daily Driver/FSP Autocrosser

Update: No longer a feeler. Car is officially for sale.

So I'm putting a feeler out for my car. I'm considering moving on, but I wanted to check with the community first to see if there is A) any interest in the car as it sits now and B) to see if my price is reasonable.

If you have questions/comments, feel free to post. Thanks!

$4000 for everything. $3200 without the K1's and V710's.

So here's the info:

1996 318ti M-Tech

I have extensive service records going back through both me and the previous owner.

* Custom CAI with heat shield
* MSD plug wires
* Battery replaced in '08

Exhaust:
* Custom 2 1/4" mandrel bent 409 stainless from header back, with high flow cat, Magnaflow resonator, and Flowmaster muffler. Flows like crazy, but is a little loud. Uses factory hangers.

* Hawk HP+ pads and new rotors, ATE SuperBlue less than 10K ago
* Passenger side of parking brake is disconnected. The "expanding lock" ($22.23 according to realoem.com) is broken. I have all other parts.

Other: Stock 16" sport wheels with bald tires

Interior:
* Schroth 4pt harness
* Headliner replaced
* JVC CD-deck with iPod/iPhone and AUX hookups
* Wear on steering wheel, shifter and driver's seat (two small holes along seems). rest of interior is in excellent shape.
* Door lock actuator doesn't operate driver's door, but it does work with the key.

Exterior:
* Smoked corners with lamin-x film (stock corners come with as well)
* "all red" rear tails (lamin-x)
* Front plate holder and non-front plate molding
* New windshield
* Dark gray LTW flag
* Debadged
* Normal bumps and bruises from being 180K miles old, but not terrible
* Fenders have been REALLY rolled to make room for the tires

Other Info:
* Car has regularly been maintained with all synthetic fluids. It's a solid daily driver that pisses off a lot of people at autcrosses. It's a ton of fun, but I'm just looking for something new.
* I will inclue all the spares I have, which include underbody pieces, stock diff, clips, etc.
