grinds my gears when people post cars for sale and it doesn't have pics
stock cars, sure, pics can come later

with modified cars...if you aren't ready to post pics, you aren't ready to post an ad

it's like setting up a fucking stand and saying here's a note describing what i'm selling, i'll have the actual product for you sometime when I have the time to display it

Hey guys need some
Input on this add
bmw
I'm meeting the guy later today . I know the engine is bulletproof ,but is there anything I need to know about the 318i before I purchase it? ( known issues )
Also is the price fair ?

Thanks

Rust, air conditioning (make sure it works), heater coil, radiator etc

look in the trunk and pull the cover and make sure there is no tears or crack.

How about price ?( not a lot out there to compare to )

godwin 08-20-2014 03:18 PM

For that you should ask the peanut gallery over at BCBimmers. For cars like this and age, it really depends on the physical condition.. (ie you can't really tell from pictures alone).

I think the price should be fair after some negotiation.

Just to let you know the picture is not a car with dual front air bags, so there are some variations in the description. eg that model year doesn't have traction control but have LSD instead.

I would throw out the HID and also get some period correct tires. Low profile tires transmit more vibration and stresses more the rear towers.

To continue the BMW theme, I found a 94 525i touring. (Old ad may already be sold). Could make a fun family hauler. Thoughts?

Good price given the mileage, that being said the 318 is a little underpowered. Id look for a 325i if I was going the E36 route and had a bit extra for gas.

Sick deal for what you get. It's still available as of this posting.

Hopefully going to look at this tonight. Cant beat the power for the price AND the sound of a pushrod V8 :drool

2008 BMW 328xi AWD Sport Wagon / Rare 6-Speed Manual

US car. Looks sweet.

If it were a Canadian car with 100K KM instead of miles I'd probably look at it pretty hard.

tofu1413 08-21-2014 01:39 PM

^ best configuration.


there was one for sale a month ago.... was a burgundy red on oyster interior.. :heckno:

boostfever 08-21-2014 03:38 PM

personally driven a couple manual 5 series wagons before. Nice cars....as long as everything is functional.

fwd'd this to a friend

CptnVortex 08-21-2014 09:47 PM

The 525i Wagon (E34 5spd) is not sold. Yes its an old add, but surprisingly little interest! I've had a few steady emails but people most of the time don't reply. It is a decent cruiser, I DD it, I just want to get back into something a little lighter, faster, and less practical haha!

tofu1413 08-21-2014 09:56 PM

1999 BMW 740i sport e38 SIX SPEED MANUAL

not sure if real ad.... but if there is on 6 speed manual 7 series roaming around town...

me transporta :megusta:

The_AK 08-21-2014 11:26 PM

^I wonder if the tranny came from a 540i

SpartanAir 08-21-2014 11:29 PM

Ugh these rare manual BMW's, especially the wagons, are making me rethink everything...
That white wagon is something special.

I'd say this is a pretty good price all things considered

1937 Chevrolet Tudor Sedan Streetrod

Older build hence the tape deck :fuckthatshit:

underscore 08-22-2014 12:35 PM

What the heck is a turtled hood?

You'd have to factor in a paint job on top of that price... :heckno:
