Its a sad day indeed, I have to part ways with my Artic silver 97 318ti Sport becuase me and my fiancee want to buy a house. This has been my baby for the last few years. It has just about all the highly desired mods for this car, it's defitnetly unique and you will get plenty of compliments as I have. No expense was spared when buying parts for my car. Most of the mods are less than 3000miles old. This list breaks down like so: Exterior: Rieger GT cup spoiler Rieger Infinity Sideskirts Rieger Infinity rear Rieger Eyelids LTW flags front/rear M3 power heated mirrors Black out grills Suspension: H&R race springs Bilstein Sport shocks/struts X-Brace Racing Dynamics tower strut bar E46 rear reinforcement plates Solid metal ball joints 18" Custom Black Breyton Visions Dunlop P9000 Sport tires 235/40/18 Interior: Vader headrest ///M Floor mats ///M coupe Auto dim rear view mirror Silver Gauge rings Clarion MP3/CD/Player with built in hard drive Pre wired for aftermarket audio system Lighting: Euro Ellipsoids X-Tek 6000K HID kit Super Fog conversion Clear Corners Clear sidemarkers Clear Tailights Engine/Performance: Heat painted color matched engine Ram intake Custom Remus Exhaust 325 Brake swap Zimmerman X-Drilled rotors (front) The Basics: 1997 318ti Sport 85,XXX miles Artic Silver (prestine condition) Automatic Black leather/Grey cloth sport seats power Sunroof Power Windows Power Locks Aftermarket Alarm system with remote pager/extra remote, remote start Extras: A set of 15" Steelies with winter tires mounted and balanced (70% thread life) A set of stock 16" sport wheels with Conti sport tires This car has been carefully taken care of for the time that I have owed it. My brother in law is a certified BMW mechanic, so you know all my service has been done. There is probably more to add to the above list, but thats all that I can think off the top of my head. My asking price is a very justified 10K. At that price I am taking a loss with all the aftermarket parts on the car. The price is really not that negotiable becuase I'm already taking a big loss on this. You will not find another ti this nice for the price. If you have any questions you can email me or PM me, I check the boards regularly. Pics:      I will try to get so better daytime pictures soon. Thank for you for looking. __________________

your going to be driving around a house? Just keep the car and buy a house. Think about it, after you buy a house, your going to have to buy a car again. I dont mean it in a bad way or anything but, what is she sacraficing for the house? What is she selling? Just keep it. Look, houses are expensive, i hear they are suppose to go down, so just keep your car, save up, and maybe itll go down. | | | | | 08-11-2006, 02:44 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Malden, MA Posts: 672 |

I own a 01 Ford explorer, so it's either sell the cheap car, or sell the car that is worth actual money. Not really a choice there. Companies will always make more cars, but nobody makes LAND. I have my priorities set, the ti has to go.  __________________

Good look on the sale... My general take on aftermarket parts is that you always take a huge loss when you sell the car. Unfortunately most aftermarket stuff doesn't really help the value of the car that much...
Considering that that really super low mileage car sold for 12k i'd be interested to know what you end up getting for yours.. 10k seems like a stretch, but I'm sure you may be able to find someone looking for an already customized car who is willing to pay that.. | | | | | 08-11-2006, 04:17 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: bris Posts: 287 |

I dont really want to part it out then sell it. It's not worth it to me. The lowest that I will go is $9000, and I keep the Breytons and the HIDs. I know what my car is worth, and I wont allow nitpicking and such to take her back to being mediocre. __________________
