Clean 1998 318ti for sale in Ohio

[mscuy]

We have my wife's 1998 blue/black 318ti for sale on Autotrader.com in the 44017 zip code area. (near Cleveland, Ohio) We've had it for two years and we LOVE it but we made the mistake of buying a newer 3 series and now the old girl is sitting as second-fiddle in the driveway. We've sunk major money into this thing and it shows by how nice it rides and runs. I've done some of the work (new Bavarian Autosport rotors and brakes on the front) myself but the bigger jobs were done by a certified shop nearby. There is nothing to do but fill up the gas tank and have a blast. Great mileage, fast, no rattles. If my stepson had the money he'd buy it but.......he's LAZY ! Put this one in your driveway. Stock, not messed with--just like it came out of the factory.

That's what I was thinking too.

Gosh I'm almost embarassed to ask this but what differentiates a 318 Sport model ? I'm only 2 years into being a total BMW fanatic so excuse me for my lack of knowlege in this area. I know what it means on something like a 325 but not this one.

This one does have some scuffs here and there so it is not as totally pristine as the photos show but overall it is in fantastic shape for the miles and age. I swear my wife has waxed it several times a month (except of course in the winter time) and we removed some rear window stickers that the previous owner had along with some cheesy side body pinstriping.

I drove this one home from New Hampshire (she found it on line and just had to have it....) and I'd never driven a BMW ever so I didn't know what to expect. I called her in NY state on my way home to Ohio and said that this car was FANTASTIC and that now I know why she wanted one. I thought for sure I'd get a speeding ticket the way I was enjoying driving it thru NY and PA.

Sport models have the M kit including bumpers and moldings as well as a stiffer suspension and a sport cloth/leather interior. Dont be embarrassed, many people dont know the difference.

Wow, nice one there.... why you all about the m-bodykit? look at mine it's stock and looks gorgeous without the bumpers.
I'd take it and give 'er some sport springs; full leather interiour, wow, such a great car.... who's gonna?

Its more than the M kit, for me its mostly the interior that I want plus I prefer the M moldings which unless you buy em new its something you'll rarely find. Its still a clean car, definitely a good car for whoever gets it.

Hmmm... I expect to be in Cleveland near the end of July. Luckily, I don't need another car, but... would you trade the car for some concert tickets and backstage passes? heh heh

Seriously though... good luck with the sale! Be sure to point the next owner towards this site.

heh heh... yeah, in this case "No car, no pass." ;-)

I don't want to clutter up someone's FS thread, so I'll shaddap about it, but hey, mscuy, send me a PM if you'd be interested in a "car for tix/passes" sort of trade.

FWIW, the 3-series is classified as a sports car, not a luxury car and as far as the sport package goes, it also came with the 16" rims that you have on your car, so I think the PO must have swapped them with 15"s that the car came with, good luck with the sale, that car is clean as hell for almost 150k
