Description of 1991 BMW 3-Series |
Hello Ebay, In 2015 I purchased this 1991 BMW 318i Cabriolet. I bought it because I wanted a fun weekend cruiser. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I purchased a Z4 to replace the 318i. Given that I now have three cars sitting around and I hardly have time to drive for pleasure, it saddens me to say that I am ready to part with the E30. This has been the most reliable old-used car I have ever owned. I have a small stack of service records from my ownership period, including a owners PPI from 2017. Details on car: - 1991 318i Cabriolet M42 motor - Alpine white - A few dings, nothing major normal wear and tear - 144,xxx original miles - 5-speed manual transmission - Power windows - Power mirrors - Heated seats - 99.9% crack free dash minus a tiny little one that you can't see that has not gotten any bigger - 99% crack/rip free faux leather seats minus the top of the rear seat cushions - 99.9% rust free minus 3-4 tiny spots that are not cancerous - Clutch in great condition, middle travel engagement point, unknown when it was last changed - Transmission shifts smooth with no noises or clunks - All original engine and transmission - Clean title, I believe I'm the third owner and title in hand - Aftermarket alarm - Aftermarket stereo deck with AUX input - Everything in the car works, nothing is broken - Soft top is in decent shape, but the rear plastic window needs Jesus. I never fixed it as I don't drive the car in the rain. Recent services since I've owned it include: - Thermostat and housing, air idle control valve module - Oil changes w/ 20W-50 Total Racing Oil full synthetic - Coolant - Cam Sensor Seal - New tires @141,000 miles - Several problem free SMOG checks - Brake fluid flush - Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Sport Shocks (Brand New Strut Mounts, Spring pads, Shock gasket, Shock Mount) - Brand new ST Suspension Sports Springs, Part #: 65267 specific for the E30 318i Convertible + balance/alignment - New battery - Transmission fluid flush + others that I lost the receipts for. Oops. Things the car needs from 2017 PPI courtesy of German Auto Sport: - Upper oil pan gasket shows wet, should replace - Rear of transmission shows wetness, should reseal - Brake sensors are looped - Breather hose from air boot to air distribution is cracking - Power Steering fluid flush reccomended - Inner control arm boots should be replaced - Rear subframe bushings should be replaced - Differential bushing should be replaced - Driveline flex disc is installed backwards and should be reversed Attached are several photographs which I think will show you just how good of a condition this vehicle is in for its age. I am looking to sell this car to an enthusiast and I will wait however long it takes for the right combination of price and buyer. Take a look on bring a trailer, craigslist, or whatever other forums are local in the Bay Area and you will be hard pressed to find another E30 M42 318i 5-spd convertible in this good condition. There were only 1,640 of this specific combination produced according to Hagerty and BMW. |
