AUTHENTIC RUSTY BIMMER FOR SALE CHEAPER THAN YOUR BIKE
based on cost of your average EnduroTM bike
I’m asking $2000
1999 BMW 318Ti hatchback, manual transmission and rear wheel drive (If you are a HOON you know this means fun, and for normal drivers it still means fun)

Rather than being an early adopter, BE LAST. The manufacture date on the door indicates the car was made Oct/Nov 1998, so this is the last (or within a few weeks) BMW hatchback to be imported to North America.
Accident free (suppose that means my Hoon badge has been revoked)
Comes with 4 winter tires on steelies.
Comes with 1000+ page service manual in like new condition. The car has been well maintained, and with wear and tear items generally replaced (by a professional mechanic) prior to on road troubles occurring, but with 305K km, you may be happy to have this extra heavy reading material.
The only mod has been to add Euro projector ellipsoid headlights (originals have been kept as spares).
But you are free to stance, slam, stretch or otherwise destroy the wonderful handling performance however you choose.
Comes with extra oil filter elements (I have been changing oil with fully synthetic every 7K km on average)
Comes with sunroof
Comes with stereo radio, 6 disc CD changer and CASSETTE player (you know you want one, I can even throw in appropriate period cassettes such as AC/DC and Presidents of the USA)

All serious offers considered

yes, its popular mod for competitive drifting
inline 6 M3 engines also fit well, but I am told they are too powerful and basically uncontrollable

Theres a guy selling kits to mount a ford 289/302/351 and a mustang t5 5 speed in that gen bmw. Cheep too , i think its like $136 for the motor and trans mounts. Chuck some aluminum heads on there and i bet its lighter then the bmw straight 6.

GRRRR…. chevy in a Ford…

i'd rather push my car into the river first…:eek:

oddly enuf speaking of swapping i may or may not be doing a complete driveline/interior swap on my '68 Lincoln… i bought a complete run n drive wrecked (just body damage) 2006 Lincoln Towncar.

gears are turning if i have it in me this winter to finaly go to a modern driveline, and while im at it, swap the entire interior and dash into the old girl..

classic body with modern electronics and gadgets…so much to think about….

^Well it doesn't get much better than having the entire donor right there, that's for sure…you get to take apart each and every sensor/wire…meaning you SHOULD know how it goes back together :lol: …label things like your kids life depends on it is what I'm sayin'
