THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this semi-classic 1998 BMW 318ti hatchback! Finished in Cosmos black metallic over grey "pleather" interior, this groovy little E36 hatchback has been driven just over 90,000 miles since purchased right here at San Francisco BMW two decades ago. It sports a superb running 139 horsepower 1.9 liter inline four cylinder engine mated to the rare and desirable 5 speed manual transmission with stopping power provided by four wheel disc brakes with anti-lock. This "slick-top" NON-sunroof example has the five spoke alloy wheels with excellent rubber, electric windows, cruise control, manual seats, factory am/fm/cassette stereo, original window sticker {sold for $23,100], owner's manual and more. This 318ti is being sold with clear and clean California title, current registration and is a great find for about the price of the sales tax alone on a new, quickly depreciating 328i. THE BODY AND TRIM The exterior of this 1998 BMW is in fair to good 99.9% rust-free condition overall. Being a city car, it has its definite share of scrapes, nicks and touched-up spots along with missing fog lights. The wheels have some curb rash and missing "roundel" center caps that i can get for the new owner. THE INTERIOR As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this non-smoker BMW is in quite good overall condition will all controls including stereo [I have coded it since photos were taken], windows, cruise control, hvac in excellent working order. Imperfections inside the car include mismatched driver side door panel, a couple of scrapes on the driver seat cushion and a slightly sagging headliner fabric creatively tacked in place with barely visible seamstress pins. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This 1998 BMW starts perfectly with excellent, smooth running 1.9 liter four cylinder engine, buttery smooth shifting 5 speed manual transmission, solid braking and quiet smooth suspension. This light, tossable E36 ti car is truly a joy to drive! THE DETAILS AND $$$$$ 1.
