I recently purchased a 1995 318i BMW for my daughter. Her first vehicle, which also happen to be my dream car when I was younger...lol Anyways, I know it will need some TLC with 145,000 miles, but it was in great condition from one owner who had it the entire time.
I recently had a question, which was found in the forum already. I ordered the part I need and can't wait to replace it and keep it running great. |  |  | | 10-21-2013, 05:50 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Laguna Beach Posts: 357 |

Let's see, i like your guys rides. I may trade with her and play around with it and keep it for myself. I have to check on the oil leak on the bottom of it though. Hope it's nothing big.  | | | | | 10-21-2013, 08:02 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Laguna Beach Posts: 357 |
Most common oil leak we have is the o-ring on the oil filter canister. Not a difficult fix if you diy. Other leak could be the valve cover gasket, a bit more difficult, but not real bad. | | | | | 10-21-2013, 09:02 PM | #6 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 4 |
Great tip, I am taking it to a shop and see what they say. I will post the info for some feedback. Thanks | | | | | 10-22-2013, 03:27 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2012 Location: Dodging potholes in SoCal Posts: 454 |
Good choice for your daughter! When I was getting my license (6 years ago), my dad let me buy a 1968 1600-2. I have since supplemented that car with a 318ti.
Your daughter will love it! __________________
