Well, i bought a car today. Take delivery of it on tuesday.
95 318ti
156k
$3k
green with tan leather (i know, i hate tan... but its more white than tan, really)
body is pretty good, minus the hood paint peel. not many dings/dents at all. Black plastic skirts need some 'back to black' on them. hatch glass window seal needs to be replaced, but it doesn't look like it's leaking at all.
Overall, it just needs some TLC (pretty dirty, shift knob isn't on right, rear view mirror needs to be re-glued to the windshield. rear hatch struts need to be replaced. radio is all blurred out on the led display... but it's a tape player anyway, so that will be getting replaced.
has nearly new (probably 1 season on them) hakkapeltia snows on it already... so that's like 500 cash back in my pocket that i was going to spend on snow tires for what ever i bought.
all in all, it's a great running car. it's a LOT faster than the other one i drove (a 97). Vanos FTW (bmw's vtec was only on the 1.8 in 95. they killed it in 96+ with the 1.9l which on the books makes more power... but its just peak. this car rips).
Plus, it's obd 1being a 95
S50 swap anyone? lol naw.. just going to drive this beats as is for a while
should get me 30mpg and will be a pretty fun little machine.
here's some pics.
it hasn't been cleaned up/detailed yet, so it will be cleaner when i get it home and take my own pics.
