1991 BMW E30 318iC, Mauritius Blue, Borbets, Bilsteins
Name: Anthony

Price: $ 5500
Description: 1991 BMW E30 318iC for sale. Offers considered.
Mauritius Blue in very good overall condition. Available to show 7 days a week and is for sale nationally. Willing to assist with buyers shipping.
Rare color option for E30 and even more so because of the very limited number (roughly 4000) of 318 Convertibles brought over for 1991 and 1992.
Floor pans and rear boxes have no sign of rust. Trunk stays dry.
Matching VIN tags on everything, except front bumper due to minor parking lot tap.
Comfort vinyl seats in very good condition and reupholstered rear seat.
Original working Odometer reads about 232k and is driven almost daily. I surprised the car by putting it up for sale before the odometer could break, since they all do it a few days before an ad goes up.
Runs great with no chain noise. Temps holds just below or at center on the hottest days. A/C blows cold. Shifts smoothly and handles well on the bilsteins and E30 M3 Springs.
Borbet Type A 16x7.5. Real Borbets!!!
Even with the mileage, I wouldn't hesitate to drive anywhere. She has been cared for throughout her life and will do many more years with the right owner.
Will do oil change prior to buyer picking up since it is coming on 3k since the last
Items replaced in the last 5-10k miles:
Suspension given a minor overhaul with Bilstein Strut inserts and shocks, Strut bearings and control arm bushings
Tires.
Shifter bushings replaced.
Exhaust is a magna flow on the end of a factory cat. Nice little rumble without being obtrusive.
The bad:
Replacement bumper not the greatest, but works.
The rear seat looks nice from the front, but the fabric backing is visible near the mounting.
Dash is cracked
Carpet is worn.
Car was resprayed a few years ago and it's starting to show its age with some imperfections. Gorgeous color and still presents well.
Top is an older factory replacement and while it doesn't leak, it has shrunken and should be considered. Frame is great condition and works as it should.
Oil pan does weep a little. Nothing major, but worth mentioning.
I do have another carpet for convertible and a crack free dash, if someone wanted to make an offer. Will not sell separate.
It is a 23 year vehicle and does have a few minor flaws like door dings and scratches. There are going to be some things I have missed. Please ask questions.
