My 1988 318i
Moderator: martauto
The first owner of the car was a Greek/American, who was spending his summers in a Greek island. So, the car, for the most of its life was stored in a garage, fortunately in dry conditions. The paint is original and it's accident-free too. The factory fitted 4.10 LSD is the real bonus, though

That. Is. Awesome.
As I already mentioned, the car was in a garage for many years, so the following works had to be done in order to return in its working/original condition:
1. New tires (in wrong dimension though - 195/60/R15)
2. New battery
3. New cluster batteries
4. New Sachs shock absorbers
5. New clutch pumps
6. Brake fluid - Rear brake cylinders
7. All filters
8. Spark plugs
9. Cooling system cleaning and BMW Antifreeze
10. Transmission and differential oil
11. Timing belt and V belts
12. New fuel pump and fuel lines all round
13. Silent blocks all round
14. Bonnet sound insulation
15. Original floor mats
16. BMW badge in front
17. Rims refurbishment and new rim caps
18. OEM Eberspächer rear silencer and fittings
19. New water pump, fan clutch and thermostat
20. New leather for the steering wheel
21. Paint restoration
22. Original BMW leather gear knob
23. BMW Reverse RDS cassette player
24. A 12mm anti-roll bar was fitted in the rear axle, in order to reduce body roll
25. A pair of original fog lights was installed
Besides the tires, which will be replaced soon, and the cassette player which comes from an E36, everything is original and the car is my (almost) daily ride. I dare to say that i prefer it from my 325i E93
