Author Topic: WTB: Clean silver or white 318is (Read 4682 times)

Looking for a clean-bodied, 318is in either Alpine white, or Sterling silver. Car should have no rust, and no major damage. Tasteful modifications are a plus, but not a must-have.

Can and will travel for the right car!

Also would not be opposed to a project car, as long as it's a good clean-body with a clear title. Cars needing mechanical or interior work (or both) are fine.

Let me know what you have!

No rust?
Sad to say but good luck with that and when/if you find one it'll cost you.

There are tons of rust-free examples out there. I'm fortunate to live in an area where they are a fairly common occurrence, and only one out of the six E30's I've owned has had any significant rust. That said, it's proving more difficult to find one with a straight body than anything else. Sad truth about 318's is they've been cheap cars for a while, and as such, many have been used, abused, and tossed aside

And so, the search continues

I lucked out, picked up a sterling silver that was transported from Hawaii in 2009. It took me months to get the sand out of all the crevices. There was no rust anywhere.
And one morning the car vanished, stolen i never saw saw it again.

That blows! I've been fortunate to have never had a car stolen or even badly tampered with. Ugh.
