Description of 1994 BMW 3-Series

Up for Auction is an Ultimate Driving Machine 1994 BMW 318i E36 (same body as BMW 325 & 330) with a clean Leather Interior. Engine top end just rebuilt & runs Strong. Gets 30-35 MPG on Highway, o check engine light. MD title in hand. Recently spent ~$2K in engine top end rebuild & other restorations some of them listed below, ordered all parts online here on ebay & then paid $1000 cash a BMW specialist for all the labor done over a 30 day period. I purchased this car from MD Police auction impounded as a possible drug vehicle so the title had to be re-issued as salvage rebuilt but it notaccidentedor anything. Car was sitting for over a year at the impound lot, thought its an M3 as it had a logo in the back & was hoping it will just need a new battery & ready to drive but unfortunately needed the whole list of things as done below. Car was supposed to come with a key but the Police lost it and I had to get a locksmith to cut a laser cut key for $175. Then had to tow it to my home $100 where after checking all fluids, jump started & it did start on the first try. Coolant was low and leaking so I had to tow again to a BMW shop who replaced few hoses and heater hose with a bill of $175. Drove it home and coolant leaking again, ook back and he said oh it needs a headgasket and will be $1000-$1200 for that job. I found a BMW specialist who works from his home and agreed on doing everything for $750 including machining the head etc. once he opened the head, e showed me that it was warped and the top coolant return hose was broken, elding would be too much as its analuminiumhead. Went to few junkyards and they were selling for $350-$500 used heads. Ended up ordering a new one from eBay in Florida for $600. Then ended up spending all the below stuff as plan was to use this as my commuter to Baltimore 100 mi return trip each day. By the time it was done I already purchased a VW Golf TDI gets 45 MPG so am selling this now. in MD it can be registered as Historic since its over 20 years old & no State inspection required.
