1995 BMW 318ti - Engine: M42B18 1.8L Inline 4
- Built: 7/95

- 82,854 Original Miles
An older woman has owned this red hatch for almost its
entire life, used as her daily. It has never drifted or seen a track throughout the time its been around. It’s been not only a great daily for me. It’s fantastic on gas consumption due to the nature of its motor, but it’s not to be underestimated. It comes alive around the higher rev range; when paired with the Supersprint exhaust, you can’t help but smile at the raw sound. Throughout my ownership, I’ve done the maintenance that I’d expect to do when owning an upcoming 29-year-old car.
The maintenance includes but not limited to: - Valve cover gasket
- All accessory drive belts
- Window regulators
- Radiator and hoses
- Tires
- Regular oil changes
I did the radiator preventatively because I’ve read about the typical mileage they can go out on forums. The engine runs perfectly. Mostly, all things that need some love are cosmetics. However, there are still a few quirks. The driver-side window intermittently works; sometimes, it’ll fall out of alignment when it rolls down. That said, I changed the door cards to aluminum ones for easy access to the window if needed. The OEM suspension was upgraded to KW V1 Coilovers because it was blown. The new suspension sometimes makes some noise, similar to a clunk noise, when overly turning the wheel while stationary.
I will send the complete and updated Carfax to those who are interested
