Vehicle Detail
Car: 1992 BMW 318i (E30) Convertible. Dark Blue with Beige Cloth InteriorEngine: M42 1.8L 4cyl. Miles: 153,740Trans: 5 Speed Manual Car starts immediately, runs & drives. I have had the car for a year now, working on it as a project. I recently registered it for the road, however the engine needs more work. Compression test showed good results but it would take some time to dig into the motor to fix some sounds coming from the lower end. Time that I just don't have these days. It would be wise to repair the engine prior to driving the car on a regular basis. The issue has not been specifically diagnosed by my mechanic. My Mechanic did say it was a knocking sound from the lower end of the engine. With that said, I have no estimate as to just how reliable/unreliable the engine is at this time/in its current state. Overall though, the car looks good and clean. Half of it has been buffed with quality products. The passenger side needs the same treatment. The Good/The Great:1. BRAND NEW Exhaust (resonator & muffler, w/ new brackets) 2. BRAND NEW drive belts3. BRAND NEW Fuel Pump4. BRAND NEW Fuel Filter5. BRAND NEW Front Wheel bearings & dust caps6. BRAND NEW Front 'IS" valence spoiler7. BRAND NEW Black Convertible top (not installed - comes with the car)8. BRAND NEW Spark Plugs9. BRAND NEW Engine Temp. Sensor10. Transmission shifts smoothly with no apparent issues11. Interior is in phenomenal condition - Very rare CLOTH SEATS. The car is wired for heated seats but the seats in it now do have the elements. 12. Dash Board in amazing condition13. NO VISIBLE RUST - Very Rare 14. 3/4 of the wheels are in nice condition. Spare wheel/tires included in sale. The Not so Great:1. Suspension needs attention. May need a strut swapped out for new or used ones. One is squeaky in the front2. Various black exterior trim pieces need to be replaced3. two noticeable dents in the front fender and rear quarter panel. The rear dent seems like it would be very easy have pulled. Its barely noticeable now. 4. Radiator leaks a little bit of coolant5. Misc. dings and knicks (usual wear for a car of this age.)6. Previous owner removed the amp so the speakers need to be reconnected in a Stock manner7. The engine - as mentioned above. 8. Convertible top rear window is missing - NEW TOP Included in sale - as mentioned above9. Third brake light needs to be reattached. Wires also need to be spliced together. Any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I am happy to discuss the car in more detail. Please make a request and we can arrange a conversation. Local pick up ONLY.
