Default FS: 1998 Black BMW 318ti (active model), manual transmission

For sale for $3,500 firm.

With a heavy heart I must sell my black 1998 BMW 318ti car. It has 136,884 miles. It's a hoot to drive and handles very well. The air conditioning system runs strong. With the growing family I decided to get a wagon (manual a must) and to pass this car on. Since purchasing in the summer of 2002, I've taken good care of this car and have replaced all major components to make it last the duration. The interior is clean. All interior headliner and pillar fabric have been replaced (see below), but I removed the headliner on the moonroof as it was starting to get jammed. The exterior is showing some signs of age and there are dings here and there. At almost 20 years old, it is mechanically sound and running very strong. It's a one of kind car that should be preserved. Getting more and more unique on the roads. I would drive this car cross country in a heartbeat. It's great for road trips and compact for the city car.

All servicing was performed by Terry Sayther Independent BMW shop and my trusted mechanic Greg Black here in Austin, Texas. Straightforward mechanical items were completed by yours truly. I have all records for the work that was performed and kept all receipts of the parts I've purchased. Here is a list of recent noteworthy items. I have only used OEM parts.
