For Sale / 1991 318IS For Sale PA

« on: May 01, 2012, 03:54:54 PM »

1991 318 IS Coupe, 5 spd. I've owned this car since September and its a reliable fun little coupe to drive. The paint is decent and it has around 128k Miles on it.
When i first purchased the car I transplanted the engine from another 318is which had the head redone about 20k miles ago. The car is inspected till 2/13 and is drivable.
A/C and heat work. Power windows and locks. Very little rust. New tires!

NEEDS : Probably will need a wheel bearing and a front engine seal soon though the wheel bearing is tight, just noisy. There is some surface rust on the right front fender.

Asking: 3000 OBO

EDIT: I thought about it and am willing to drop the price for those of you on this forum i changed the craigslist price to 3250, but if your on here, ill start at 3k.

Thanks For checking this out!

Call Mark : 610 246 1068

I have a few pictures on CL http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2990481389.html
Ill try and get some up here as soon as i can.

I got her and I'm psyched.  Been getting to know my first LSD in all this rain

I'll be looking through it w/ a technician on friday to see what's up.  I've got an unknown, constant whoosh kinda sound from the rear... like wind noise (no correlation with speed).  hmm

i have the same noise, mines has a correlation with speed, let me know what they thinks up with yours.

Check these links out for a motor:

You might get lucky, nobody really wants M42's.  I'd get on R3v & see if anyone is doing an M52 swap & looking to sell off the old motor reasonably.  You just missed an entire power train/harness & DME in Jersey a couple months ago for $350.

thanks! yeah i know i saw that motor, by the time i talked to him it was already gone. do you know what year m42s will fit in these cars? my cars an e30 and ive been told the newer motors wont fit.
