And thanks for reply Dave!!!

Since it has been winter, and I washed/waxed the car before it got cold, I haven't been driving my 318is.   Combine that with plans to remove my metal front valance (possum damage - like hitting a dog just about), and somebody accidentally unplugging my battery tender, and a fuel line leak next to the filter, and you can see why I haven't driven it.  I fixed the fuel leak, charged the battery, and drove it to work today.  I forgot how much I love this car.  It is so analog, so enjoyable to drive, so mechanically simple, so pure, compared to today's cars.  I have thought about selling the car (it is in fantastic condition), to pay off some remaining debt, but when I drive it, I just don't know if I could do it!!  Just thought I'd drop a line here to say how much I missed my car, and would miss it if it were gone.

Thanks,
tom

I have reluctantly been considering selling my 1991 318is.  Bought it from 2nd owner who had since 1994 when someone traded it in.  Have all service records.  It has been babied.  Originally cloth but had katskin leather installed.  No cracks on dash, near perfect interior.  All the usual maintenance items have been taken care of when needed.  Is tastefully lowered on bilsteins nad has a shock tower brace.  Stock engine.  No dents and only a couple of very, very minor dings.  Paint is original or nearly original.  I say that because at some point in its first three years of life (prior to 2nd owner getting car) it had the passenger door and front fender replaced, so I assume the whole car was resprayed at that time by a competent body shop.  The paint is excellent for a 22 year old car, and you can tell if it was repainted it was done a long time ago to factory specs.  I also have some 15" euroweaves that I have not placed on the car yet, but I just had them powdercoated in Bengal Silver.  they are flippin sweet!  AC works great.  I have original stereo, but currently there is a bluetooth head unit in the car with matching orange lighting.  The car is just about perfect, save for some clear starting to peel along the front of hood, and the urethane lip is fading. 

THE ONLY REASON, I am even thinking of selling is because I just bought a foreclosure on the courthouse steps this week.....I had a verbal agreement on the sale of my current house, and then that fell through.  So I am now neck deep in a big wad of debt, and am just looking to liquidate this car (POSSIBLY) to have cash on hand for repairs until my loan is restructured.

The kicker is that I am not giving it away.  I would want $8000 for it at least, with the Euroweaves.  Less if you don't want the wheels.

It is seriously a good find, and a great car and it saddens me to even think about getting rid of it.  I was hoping to give it to my kids.  I may not be able to part with it, but just wanted to throw it out there just in case...

I concur.  Dave is a stand-up guy.  Sent me pretty much a whole airbox system minus the cores, motor, resistor.  Well packed, arrived great shape.  Really went out of his way to help me and it is most appreciated.  Don't hesitate to deal with Dave.  Thanks again man!
