1998 BMW 318ti 5-Speed

This 1998 BMW 318ti was acquired by the seller in 2003 and subsequently fitted with a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six and ZF five-speed manual transmission from a donor E36 M3 with 44k miles as part of a build completed in 2017. Finished in Avus Blue, the car wears a carbon-fiber hood as well as rivet-on fender flares and features E36 M3 front disc brakes, Ground Control coilovers, and 18″ SSR Type-C wheels. Inside, “Vader” sport seats trimmed in gray leather are accompanied by a Kirk Racing roll bar as well as an aftermarket head unit and gauges. The engine is noted to be equipped with a Vi-PEC engine management system and Sunbelt camshafts as well as aftermarket headers flowing into a side-exit exhaust system. This modified E36/5 318ti is now offered with spare parts, a Carfax report, and a replacement Alabama title in the seller’s name. Finished from the factory in Avus Blue, the car was fitted with a carbon-fiber hood and Hard Motorsport rivet-on fender flares as part of the build. Further details include a black spoiler and kidney grilles along with clear corner indicators and Euro-style taillights. The seller notes that the clearcoat is peeling on the roof and points out various other imperfections in up-close photos presented in the gallery.
