Up for sale is my Alpine 1996 318ti M Sport. I bought the car with 161k on it in 2003, and its been my daily driver since. The body is a bit rough, but the interior is in good shape. It has its mechanical issues as well, but nothing that prevents it from remaining my daily driver.


Known issues:
Transmission is notchy
Air conditioner has a leak
Headliner is starting to fall in the back
Numberous body flaws including rock chips, rust, black trim pulling away on driver door.
Cat converter is bad and throws codes
One wheel has a slight bend, but balances okay and is not noticable
Both fog lights were stolen (who the hell steals fog lights?)


Work done on the car at 198k miles:
Replaced both O2 sensors (still throws codes - cat is bad)
New rear brake rotors and pads
328 brake kit on the front (new rotors, pads, and reconditioned calipers)
New Brake sensors
New Bilstein Sport struts and shocks
New H&R Sport springs
New Subframe bushings
New Trailing arm bushings
New Sway bar links
New Meyle control arms
New Rear shock tower mounts
New Michelin Exalto A/S tires
Replaced all engine belts

Despite its mentioned flaws, this car drives very tight. No squeaks, no rattles.

I can ship at buyers expense, or can meet half way if the distance is reasonable. Im willing to entertain all offers. PM me with any interest.
