    Lightbulb FS: 1997 BMW 318i 4dr Black – Supercharged 250hp - $3,800

    SOLD

    Vehicle Details
    Year : 1997
    Make and Model : BMW 318i 4 door
    Exterior Color : Black
    Interior Color : Gray Cloth
    Auto or Manual? : manual 5-speed
    Odometer Reading : 173,XXX kms
    Location of Vehicle : Calgary SW
    Description :

    - Downing Atlanta Supercharger - 10psi (installed at 150,000kms)
    - Engine head was rebuilt before installing supercharger (VAC metal headgasket, 8:5:1 compression, performance valve springs)
    - short-shifter
    - H&R sport springs, Bilstein shocks (1.8” drop front, 1.5” back)
    - M5 clutch, 7.5 aluminum flywheel
    - e46 M3 steering wheel (no driver airbag)
    - 17" 225 winter rim + tires (shown on picture)
    - 17" 245 Mpackage summer rims + tires (http://www.dtmpower.net/forum/attach...res-tire-4.jpg)
    - Sound system, sub in ski pass
    - Stock exhaust (very quiet, accept for the whine of supercharger when stepping on it)
    - Will leave Valentine One radar detector (hard-wired in)

    Original owner, spent a lot of time and money on this car (with help of Sheni at Sheni’sAutoTrend). A lot of fun to drive, 0-60 high 5s low 6s. Pictures were taken today, winter wheels are shown. Was hit by a piece of wood on highway 2 which took out left grill. Engine runs well. Climate control unit sometimes flickers on and off. Windshield has a large crack. AC not connected. No driver airbag. This is an enthusiast’s car, not a good daily driver. Clutch is heavy, shifting is heavy, lightweight flywheel makes RPMs rise and drop very quickly. Looking for a good home for someone who will enjoy driving it. Tired of dealing with bmw repairs. Looking for a deposit to lease a car for me and my wife. No parting, No trades. No low balling, price is already low.

    Asking Price : SOLD! To a good home, I hope you enjoy the car as much as I did.

    WHAT WTF? IT ACTUALLY WAS 3800???

    Oops, I guess 13 800 is a bit much, but 3 800 would be a good deal assuming it runs?

    You think that a 12 year old base model BMW is worth almost 14k? How much acid did you take today?

    I'm not bashing this thread, to the O.P. great price! GL with the sale!

    thanks for the feedback everyone. the car was definitely priced to sell as is. got 12+ calls and 3 test drives on a sunday night. took a deposit from the first driver so we'll see if the sell is final tomorrow. i have a few people lined up who will take it if this one falls through

    i think that at 3800 anyone who buys it will enjoy it and understand that its an older bmw (and supercharged) and repairs will probably come up. i do think that the price was low but i need to get a daily driver and at that price i feel very comfortable selling it and feeling that someone got a good deal for it (as the windshield needs replacing, heater needs to be fixed/replaced, grill + front bumper, etc)

    it looks as if the new owner has the car downgraded and yet is selling for nearly 2k more then you were asking.
