FS:'95 Downing Atlanta Supercharged 318i ($1500)

[EverydayGetaway]

I bought this car a little over a year ago as a project, it's been in various posts on the E36 section. I bought the car with the DASC already installed, it needed a lot of work when I bought it, and now it still needs some, but has been daily driven for the past year. I just bought an E46 and now I have no time to put into this thing, so I'm letting it go. The details are as follows.

1995 BMW 318i
-340k miles with a full drivetrain rebuild at 277k miles (at same time DASC was installed)
-5-speed manual trans with SSK
-I converted the interior to black leather with sports seats but the plastic surrounds on the seats and the bottom portion of the center console are still beige. The PO had started to convert the interior when I bought it, so I continued to do so, those two bits were the only pieces that I couldn't find.
-Car comes with two sets of wheels, 16" style 42's and stock alloy bottlecaps
-Has a Vogtland Junior Cup Kit installed less than 10k miles ago
-Has an audio system in the trunk that was tastefully done by the PO, 10" sub molded into the side of the trunk and 2 amps mounted on the back of the back seat
-Has a Compustar alarm system
-Has a rebuilt Limited Slip diff
-New battery 1 year ago

The car came with a full list of the rebuild with the receipts. As I said, I bought this car as a project and I do still think it has a lot of potential. That being said, there are some issues with the car.

-The oil pan gasket has a small leak
-The belt pulley's need to be replaced
-The shifter bushings are in bad shape, shifting is pretty sloppy
-There is an exhaust leak and the custom cat-back job that the PO did was pretty bad as it was before the leak, I intended to change it the day I bought it, just never sourced an OEM setup and there were other issues that were more important
-There is a small vacuum leak, most likely from the short ram intake (again, never sourced an OEM intake box)
-Driver's side window clip is broken, window still works fine, just needs guidance at the top
-AC doesn't work
-Missing a fog light
-PO repainted the car, but he did a pretty bad job, from 10ft the car looks fantastic, but up close you can see the areas that he messed up

I'm sure there's stuff I'm forgetting in the positive and negative areas, but I'll post them when I think of them. I would be parting the car out if I had the time too, so my loss is your gain. The supercharger alone is worth my asking price, but I really don't have time to pull it off so if you want it, you take the car with it.

PM me if you're interested.

I bought the car for $1500 a little over a year ago and have since put in about $1000 in parts, I'm not even trying to break even on this, just trying to give you all a fair deal ;)

Pics!

[EverydayGetaway]

I'm trying to post pics, photobucket won't let me open my album... idk what the hell is going on.

[EpDarks]

Try the website Razzi.me

[18rabbit]

Sounds like a good deal! GLWS

[bav 325i]

pics!!!!

[1slowcrx]

In for pics. I would love to come pick it up if it checks out.

[jeremy5000]

Pics!?

[EverydayGetaway]

Pics are now up ;)

[DarthVaderSeats]

So I wonder how much power it puts down?

[RatedM3]

I would be all over this if i had the space. I'm pretty close by too. With some TLC, I'm sure it'll clean up nicely.

[etasport87]

Pretty interested if you still have the car. No problems making a trip? I would probably put it on the trailer anyway. I will think about it and let you know.

[EverydayGetaway]

It should have no problem with a road trip. It was my DD until about 6 weeks ago, honestly I haven't touched it since I bought the 330 though. As for power, according to Downing Atlanta it should be making about 210hp to the crank. And yes, it's got a lot of potential, which is why I bought it, but I really don't have time or space for it anymore.

[EverydayGetaway]

Bump. Still here guys, it's basically a supercharger with a free car, come get it! lol

[EverydayGetaway]

Bump, will be around this weekend if anyone wants to come check it out.

[supa7]

You have PM. =D

[EverydayGetaway]

Still for sale, updated with new pics. Gave it a bath and took it for a spin today, everything works fine. If you have any questions or want to come see it, please shoot me a PM.

[3LtrdakarM3]

dam i kinda want

[IWannaBMW]

PMed you

[EverydayGetaway]

I don't really have the time to part this thing out, to those who've PMed me about the blower, it'd be worthwhile for you to just take the car and remove the blower yourself, if I pulled the DASC I would ask the price I'm asking for the whole car. I have no time to remove the blower, any free time I have goes to my 330 or my girlfriend, sorry guys.

[IWannaBMW]

I pmed about the blower last week. I PMed you last night about shipping the whole car.

[EverydayGetaway]

I'm not willing to ship the car, if you'd be up to the task I think it would handle a road trip if you bought a plane ticket to pick the car up, it never left me stranded for the year I drove it.

[Elvis T]

Wow....I'm surprised this is still around!

If I had the space this would be my new track toy.

[EverydayGetaway]

This is pretty much all I'm hearing from everyone who's interested... :( I've had mostly trade offers actually, which I find odd. If I had the time and space for a track car it wouldn't be posted here... lol (though I would definitely be tempted to trade it for a 318ti or a RWD roadster like a Miata or MR2)

[E36matyac]

How is this still for sale!?!?
Id buy it now if it was closer, but i don't know how it would do on a 700 mile trip. haha

[325x]

Whp? And are there any mechanical problems?

[EverydayGetaway]

Vehicle is now pending sale, I will update the thread if the deal falls thorough.

[z3540i]

still up?

[tlamm]

Man if only i could sell my Firebird. I would buy this next day...lol

[Tazmanian Devil]

Contact me if car is still available. I have cash in hand.

[Eloff19]

It sold.

[avus95m]

About time!
