Price: SOLD

I am selling my tastefully modded 1991 e30 318is, complete with Thule roof rack and an additional set of 16" winter wheels wrapped in Blizzaks. This car has been under my ownership for 5 years this August and has been one of the most reliable daily drivers I have ever owned.

Several modifications were done by the previous PO, so I do not have much documentation surrounding them. However, during my time of ownership, I have kept all receipts and logged everything I have done maintenance wise to keep this car in smooth running condition. To be completely transparent with this listing, below I am going to list as much as I can in regards to the condition and history of the car.

* Has been featured on BMWCCA's IG account (can include BMWCCA badge if desired)
* Tons of spare parts to include with sale

Stuff That Needs Work -
* Sunroof front bar doesn't retract inwards when rolling sunroof back shut, you need to press it down lightly
* Cigarette Lighter does not work (not fuse)
* Washer fluid reservoir leaks and needs to be replaced
* Driver/passenger carpet under floor mats is aging/stained
* Driver seat left bolster is torn and right side is cracking
* Dash is cracked, but dash cover has hidden it for my entire time of ownership
* Odometer stopped working prior to my ownership so true mileage is unknown (have replacement VDO gears to include with purchase)

All in all, this is a great daily driver and I will be sad to see it go. All the critical components work and the car shows quite nicely. It would only take an additional small investment to make it absolutely perfect.

I am just starting to look around for something a little newer to take over DD duties, so I am in zero rush to sell. Only trade I am currently entertaining is for a 2012+ R56 Mini Cooper S (N18 engine) in manual with potential cash on my end.

Turn Signal fixed: Took the bumper off today and found that one of the 3 wires to the bulb housing was not connected. Driver side turn signal now functions like it should!
