91 318i
« on: February 12, 2008, 11:10:38 PM »
Hi all.  I am looking at a 91 (I think) 318i.  It has been sitting for years behind someones house.  It is not officially for sale, but I am going to talk to the owner to see if they would be willing to sell. It is a 4 door, steelies and caps, sunroof delete, cloth interior.  The body is straight, but it may have been re-sprayed(i dont know for sure, it has a ton of dirt and dust covering it).  I have heard something about a timing case re-build, but am not sure about what that entails.  Just a little background on myself. I currently own a 1989 325i that I have lowered on Vogtland spings and Koni adj. shocks/struts.  I am very mechanically inclined and am not afraid to tackle any sort of mechanical job.  Just need to know what to look for and what the problem areas are on the 318i, so I can base my price accordingly.  Thanks in advance.

Preston
