Hey all. I picked this car up a couple of months ago and finally got around to taking some pics of it. It's a '91 318i with 260k+ on the still-functioning cluster. I paid $1100 for it and it's worth every penny. It's been extremely well maintained and other than a bad diff mount it needs nothing. It does have dents in both driver's side doors but it doesn't bother me, and if I stumble over a brilliantrot 4 door I'll address it; otherwise I think I'll just drive it and save money for the track car and cabrio.
I swapped in some fogs, US ellips with 55w 4500k HIDs, a full minty vinyl sport interior, shift knob, some weaves (with seriously undersized tires) and a crappy headunit I had sitting around. I gave it some tuneup love with plugs, oil change, a thermostat/coolant, fixed a leaky fuel line between the hardlines and the fuel rail and now I am enjoying it as a DD.
Soonish plans include an armrest and the aforementioned diff mount (both in my possession already), swapping the head unit for a better Alpine, replacing the rear bumper trim and repainting all the trim and lower panels black again, and a polish of the paint. The oxidization clearly shows that the car was repainted on the passenger fender and front door.
Enjoy.

Wow at your interior! Looks brand new!!!
Car looks great though and is awesome starting point. I wish I didn't have to worry about my interior and engine bay!
Can't tell it has 260K+ miles at all.

Very nice, very clean!! welcome

Your interior looks amazing - I'm jealous of what you've got going on here. The small tires definitely throw it off but it looks like they still have some life so whatever. Whats with the old giant 3rd brake light?

Good eye. You're the first one to comment on it. The black rear deck with premium speakers came out of a totalled '87 325is that we're slowly parting out.

Very clean for the amount you paid.
Perfect daily driver :)
