super nice car, wish i could keep it. so much work in this thing, just trying to get payed back what we got stuck with. customer bailed, had to lien the car. have title, good to go. heres the Description i have in the local CL.
What we have here is a very nice hard to fine 1991 BMW 318ic. Car has 149k original miles with functional odometer. I've gone over every bit of this car mechanically and got it working awesome. We just installed a 80k mi engine from a 98 bmw 318i which runs super smooth without a single tick or hickup. This was not done because the old one was neglected or poorly maintained. The previous owner hit a large dip going a little too fast and was not aware she had damaged the oil pan and lost all her oil and continued to drive until a rod knock developed and became obvious there was a problem. Other than that the the car has been super well maintained. Along the way, any questionable hose, belt, sensor, or anything else that should or could use replacing was done. Suspension in smooth and quiet. Brakes are good with plenty of material left. Tires were recently replaced with about 80% all the way around. Top is in great shape and the rear window is clear and flexible so plenty of miles left without worrying about that. This car doesn't leak a single drop of anything nor should it for quite some time with all the attention and recent maintenance These are getting hard to find in this condition, dont pass this one up if its on your wish list.
