Default 1995 Alaska blue with 173k

Selling our 1995 318Ti automatic, Alaska blue with grey leather interior. Front seats are worn and covered with slip on cloth covers. Driven by my daughter for the past two years. Recently replaced with an E90 (her dream car). She's away at college now and I needed her to have a car with a warranty, since it's too far for me to be able to go diagnose and repair it.

Second owner (my neighbor is the original owner). Clean title.

We're a BMW family through and through (currently 8 in the immediate family) and would rather this go to a good BMW home (and appreciates the rarity of a Ti) rather than sell on CL.

The good:

In the past two years (10k miles) we have replaced the following:

Factory water pump
Factory water valve
Factory thermostat
Factory radiator and expansion tank
Factory front and rear brakes
Brand new factory leather steering wheel with slip ring
Factory Spark plugs
Factory air filter
Factory valve cover gasket
Factory LCA bushings
Trans service
Diff service
Complete set of Michelin Primacy MXV4's (205/60/15 on factory alloy wheels)
Lowered on Vogtland springs with new struts, shocks, shock mounts, strut bearings, etc.
Factory sunroof perimeter seal (no wind noise at freeway speed)
Kenwood head unit with USB and aux
Probably other stuff I've forgotten.

The bad:

Clear coat has sun spots on hood, and is showing its age in other places.
Heater has low heat output. Originally I thought the water valve was bad, so replaced it, and it's better, but low heat output remains. It only gets to about 140 degrees. It hasn't been a problem for us since we live in Southern California.

Happy to answer any and all questions. Will add photos soon.

Larry

Also forgot to mention that the headliner was sagging, and we attempted to secure it with spray adhesive, but that was a failure. The headliner and a-pillar trims are currently out of the vehicle, but will be included if anyone wants to re-install them. With the new perimeter seal in the sunroof, it's really quiet on the freeway. My daughter thought it looked cool without the headliner in place as well, so I never really saw a need to re-install it.

Here are a couple of photos as well.

Sorry, forgot about that part. I'd like $2500. I've put way more into it than that in the past 2 years alone.

The most recent repair was the factory leather steering wheel with new slip ring. I thought that replacing the steering wheel, which was very worn and the leather would come off on your hands, would renew my daughter's love for this car, but that was wishful thinking. She had made her mind up that she wanted a white E90. It pains me to even think about how much that cost me for a months worth of usage.

Maybe I should re-install the original wheel and sell the new one separately?

Hi Larry,

I am located up in Santa Barbara and I would love to see the car. email me at colinkagel@gmail.com since I am too new to send PMs on this forum. If you have any photos of the sun spots or the state of the interior I would like to see them too.

Thanks

GoEz - I drove it to work today to take some more pictures while it's still light. I'm currently working from dark to dark (5am - 7pm), so no opportunity to take pictures at home. Stay tuned...

JenkinsKG - Ventura County is in Southern California between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Unfortunately a bit of a drive from NY. It is still available however.

Additionally, I noticed this morning while driving to work that I must need glasses. The actual mileage is 175,7xx, not the 173k I originally reported. Very sorry for the misinformation.

OK, here are some pictures of the interior as well as the sunspots on the hood.

I recently replaced the radio surround where the AC dials are as well. Forgot about that until I was taking pictures, so took one of that and the radio too.
