Who has a very late 318is and what date was it registered/built?
Anyone got a J-plate 318is? I can not remember seeing one.
I have come across one thats only days off being a J-plate and wondered how many others are around that are similar, age wise? :?

Can't imagine there being many around much newer than that, weren't they only in production from 1989-1991?

Most seem to be H (mine included)

Mine is on a J although being a Jersey car every car is here! :D

Mine was built in March 1991 but guess that would have made it a H if it were registered on the Mainland.

There was a Diamond Black 318is on a J plate with black leather and M-tech II body kit parked up in a corner of Newport auctions about 10 years ago.

It caught my eye so enquired about it, it had a non start electrical fault, it was an immobiliser problem. Owner wanted shot of the car and would have accepted £800. I was put off by the fault, and walked away. :mad:
