Default 1996 318ti, 185k, $3200 obo

Hello there,

I recently put a *lot* of work into this ti and it is in great mechanical condition with lots of new and replaced parts. Pictures first, info later.

(click on links for larger versions)













A couple more exterior pictures in a thread here.

The reason for sale is the E28 in the background of one of the interior pictures. !

Odometer reads 185.9k; original chassis, original engine. Never crashed, but has very minor body damage -- you wouldn't notice it unless I point it out. Light scratches in paint which would likely buff out and look great. I'm not the best detailer so I didn't do this, but any competent detailer could make this car look impeccable. Interior is in decent shape; again, a detailer could make it look nice. Headliner is a bit saggy... but that's nothing abnormal...

No serious modifications; it's basically stock, minus the wheels. Has an x-brace and a tow package (those are not easy to find... or install!); and yes, a ti can tow. If you're not towing, you could probably resell the hitch for good money.

The oil pan drain bolt is sealed shut. I'll sell the car with a topside changer, which actually does a wonderful job and is really nice to use.

I have a lot of receipts from before I owned the car and some from my own ownership. Recently replaced parts / work performed (past ~5k miles):
  • Replaced and tuned window regulators (both sides)
  • Replaced radiator
  • Replaced radiator hoses (top and bottom)
  • Replaced AC compressor, dryer, and relevant gaskets; now it blows *cold*
  • Replaced sunroof slide clips so tilt mode works correctly
  • New sway bar linkages
  • Replaced belts
  • Replaced fluids; coolant, power steering, brake fluid, oil
  • Replaced battery
  • Replaced windshield wipers
  • Replaced oxygen sensor
  • Replaced plugs and wires
  • Seafoamed engine
  • Repainted side skirts and front/rear bumper trim
  • Had injectors cleaned professionally (about a year ago)
  • Replaced oxygen sensor (about a year ago)
  • Replaced valve cover gasket (was probably longer ago, maybe 1.5 years)

Drives great. Lots of fun. This car is ready for lots of long road trips. PM me with any questions.

Come buy it from me. $3200 OBO
