Hi, thanks for looking at my thread. Up for sale is my sterling-silver 1991 318is (sunroof car). It was totaled (not my fault according to insurance, FYI) and it has a title stamped salvage. If you really wanted, you could fix the damage and get it inspected and re-titled, but I would assume just use it for parts. Has damage to the steering/suspension on the passenger's side, namely a bent/broken control arm and tie rod. Both front shock towers are intact. Body-wise, you can pretty much tell, but it would need a hood, front right fender, bumper/cover, valence, radiator core support, and grille/headlight assembly.
Located in Western Connecticut. PM me for specifics.
The motor still runs perfectly aside from some noise from the mechanical fan rubbing against something. I have been starting it and running it every 2 weeks. The last time I ran it, which was 2 days ago, it finally started leaking coolant, and I shut it off right away.
Motor has the E36 timing chain tensioner. Compression test ran 3/08 and the results were 190 +/- 2 across all 4 cylinders. Spark plugs and fuel filter replaced with Bosch units on the same date. Oil filter change w/ Mann/Mahle every 3k, oil change w/ Castrol full synthetic every 6k. This motor is solid. I have some videos of it running which I can try to post up later.
Anyway, I can sell it to you in whatever state you want - interior is partly removed already, but if you want it then we could probably work something out. Make me an offer. The interior is very mint so I figured I would sell it separately. I will likely be removing the 100% crack-free dashboard to sell separately as well, but again, if you want it with the car, just make an offer.
I will be removing the 4.10 LSD because I want to use it on my other car. But if anyone has a 4.27 they want to offer me the 4.10 will stay. I will at least include an open 4.10, but I may or may not get around to installing it.
Car will come with your choice of bottlecaps with decent tires, or weaves with shitty tires.
I will also be removing: driver's side Euro grille and ellipsoid, rear Euro bumper trim. I have extra complete US sealed beams, US trim, and US grilles.
It is basically a parts car that can run (well) and drive (not so good).
I am pricing it as follows:
engine - 300
trans. - 100
wheels/tires - 100
shell/misc. - 250
So I am asking $750. If you want or don't want this or that, just let me know and I will try my best to accommodate you.
It also has an OE cat-back exhaust that was installed in early 2008.
On to the pics:
I forgot photos of the engine bay today but I will get them tomorrow, hopefully as well as videos of it running.
Any questions, don't hesitate. Let me know if I forgot anything. Thanks!
