Sad to let her go, but my car is up for sale. I am moving oversea
The car: 1996 helrot 318ti (base?)
Upgrade:
- Bavauto springs and Bilstein sport shocks (installed last year)
- Depo headlights
- 17 inch rims from E46
- painted bumpers and sideskirt (active look)
- Blue/black Sport seats and interior. Some people may say the interior is in pristine or mint condition. I would say just it's very very nice.
- Fog lights (one missing)
- More small upgraded here and there but I cant think of them now
The good:
- Newly installed engine with only ~50 k miles. Some of you may know the story behind this. I over heated the previous engine and bought this engine from Jess on this forum. The engine in his car was a replaced under BMW waranty in 2004. I have all the paper work. This was a great engine, but I took a step further and have it rebuilt. It wasn't a full rebuilt but my mechanic replaces everything that due to break. All seals and gasket were replaced (front and back seals, head cover gasket, oilpan gasket..ect). All plastic connectors were replaced. New belts, New pulleys, new belt tensioner. New water pump...etc.. Anything you can think of, except the internal parts since they are all good. this is a perfect running engine with low mileage.
- Fluids are new
- New clutch set. Only has less than 3000 miles on them
- New Cat (magnaflow). I have the smog certificate in hand.
- New window regulator was put in 3 months ago (passenger side)
- Brand new control arm bushings, i just put them in yesterday for the sake of selling a good car (only had I known the job was a PITA lol...)
The bad:
- Car was in a minor front end accident last year (carfax shows but not a salvaged). The car was fixed by myself. However, the paint on the hood doesn't match the rest of the car. It's hellrot red but a little lighter.
- Cracked windshield (just a week ago, damn..) ---> $200 lower on the price
- Sterring wheel shakes when brake at high speed, 99% sure it is the warped rotors --> easy and inexpensive fix. I would love to sell a good car but just dont have time to do the brake.
Needless to say, the car is in perfect mechanical condition. Interior is great. If you want to make it a show car then you may need to repaint it. Otherwise, it's still look good for a DD. Great gas mileage (30+ mpg). The mileage shows 195000 miles but that's not important since the engine has only ~50000 miles on it with brand new clutch, and the suspension has less than 20000 miles.
Asking Price: $3500.
