318tiA 1997 for sale, NJ

[keenanj]

...because we have a 1.5 year old. Was OK in the beginning, but now getting our child in and out is impossible. Will really miss this car, it's great (but don't buy to commute kids!).

Two owners, my wife and I (I am a professor) and my mother in law who we bought it from about 5 years ago. 135,000 miles, daily commuter, really good shape. Pics coming.
Here is a quick look at the specs

Quirks:
The analog gauge sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. The digital works fine. This has been like this since its inception. If you use the active computer, you are fine. Oddly, the low-fuel indicator works, even when that gauge itself is in one of its moods.
The airbag light has also always been on. The airbags are fine, never been in an accident I have had it checked numerous times and I am assured that it is fine.
The brake light is now on and the brake light on the passenger side is not working since I just got it serviced and new brakes put in! This was done in January, I have no clue about this, but the brakes are fine! In fact, they have never been better!
The cloth is slightly stained, and there are a couple nicks in the paint, but it is in great shape. No dents, no rust, nothing major or even close to major.

This car has been only dealer serviced. I can get the records, but there is nothing major, radiator replaced, window regulator, water pump etc... I absolutely love this car and wouldn't sell it unless we had had a kid. Again, I will post pictures tomorrow of the car. I got a 3,300 offer from the dealer which was admittedly low on their part, as part of a trade-in. They said it was negotiable (if I wanted to buy a 5-series, gotta love the dealers-AH!). Anyway, I have been on this site over the years and I think this car could go to a good home. Email with any questions.

You might wanna add a price.

[keenanj]

I did not mean to be overly vague about the price. I am very flexible here. I think anything around 3,500 would be what I am looking for (I would rather see someone here get it at cost than BMW jacking up the price to 4,999 and selling it again). Sorry, I didn't mean to be oblique about this. This range would be the lowest I could do (as I can get 3,300). If there is more than 1 person interested, that could raise the price, I guess. I am going to advertise it here at and my University, that's it for at least a week.

did a member on here buy it??

if so who?

and if not did you refer them to the site?

[keenanj]

No a person from school agreed to buy it. I don't think my car was sexy enough for the users here
...a little boring

[thesk8nmidget]

not true!

you should tell him about the site! he may like to know!

[keenanj]

I just see all these mods, so I don't think my unmodified 318 appealed like some of the others I have seen here. Not big on the drool factor.
I will pass this site on, was great when I need to get parts, or see what I could repair etc...

[thesk8nmidget]

we all almost started off by falling in love with a basic stock ti. its the body style im in love with and then you add a few things and it become your ti not just a ti.

your was great! and i would have loved to have it. but that goes for every ti here lol

[JPerfect]

Ah, my ti was only modded visually, and very slightly i might add.

People here embraced me though, and helped me through many tough times and tedious repairs.

Refer the new owner!
