To start off with this is a 1997 318ti Sport with the 5-spd. Its other options were the sunroof, keyless entry and 6-disc cd changer. It's black on black (cloth/leather sport seats).
It currently has 112.9k miles. Visually it's great looking inside and out with the only negative being some touch up spots on the rear bumper from the previous owner. It has a clear title and I have the original MSRP sheet for it. I have done TONS of maintenance, almost everything you can do...so it's ready to go for a long time ahead or even better a 24v swap :cool I've had a few inquiries for purchasing on this car in the past year due to the somewhat rarity and very clean appearance so I know there are some people out there that would be interested.
This car is a hoot to drive around town, it eats turns up like no other...tons of grip! On backroads it's quite impressive even with the M44 as it has the ability to keep up its speed thru the turns. As you will see below basically everything has been replaced within the past year from the clutch, rebuilt driveshaft, cooling system, headliner, wheels/tires, lights, all of the suspension, etc...basically the drivetrain and body is the only thing original left on the car!
