[steven_l_lau]

Hi,
I have listed my 318IS on Car & Classic and Classic Cars For Sale. Details of my advert below.
Feel free to reach out if you are interested.
Asking £9,995 ONO.

121,000 Miles currently, with about 100 miles/month use.

New 12-month MOT until 04/10/2021, with no advisories

3 Keys + 2 x BMW car alarm fob

HPI Clear

Manual

Spent in excess of £5500 in the last 2 years, to get the car mechanically just right. Some of the work done includes:
- Top-overhaul: removing cylinder head, cleaning, pressure test, replacing head-gasket + 1 x set of head bolts + spark plugs
- Replacing all breather hoses
- Replacing water pump, thermostat, fan coupling, timing chain + timing chain tensioner, Pas belt, alternator belt, crankshaft oil seal front, top up of antifreeze

- Replacing Fuel Filler Neck and Hose & Hose Shield
- Replacing Rear Diff Mounting
- Replacing Centre and Rear Exhaust
- Replacing Driver Window Motor + Window Switch + Antenna Motor
- New Yuasa HSB096 12V 80Ah 760A battery

Original factory fitted 15" BBS alloys (including spare)/ electric windows / M-tech leather steering wheel + gear knob / manual sunroof / Sony 10 CD changer / BMW car alarm / BMW boot tool kit (including the original factory label!)

Very solid body, with no major rust issue. All jacking points, sills, boot, wheel arches etc are all original and solid. There is some rust on both front wings where it meets the wheel arches and the sunroof. There are very slight blemishes and dings, which you would expect of a carefully look after 30 year old car.

The car still has its original Black Diamond Anthracite paintwork, which still looks fantastic, and is a testament of the careful ownership she has had.

The interior is the original grey houndstooth fabric material which is in great condition, no rips or tears and the seats are still firm and offer very comfortable support. The electrics all work and the dash is unmarked. Again, the condition of the car interior is evidence of its careful ownership.

I have the original BMW owner's handbook, service booklet, security + anti-theft operating instruction manual, emergency service, all in the original BMW folder. Along with all the MOT test certificates (dating back to August 1996), car inspection certificates (dating back to the BMW running-in inspection at 1200 miles dated 3rd Oct 1990), receipts and invoices, up to and including all of the recent work listed above. I even have the 1st year warranty certificate which expired 31st July 1991!

I continue to enjoy the car which was on my bucket list, but in order to tick off the other cars on my list, I am prepared to let it go, if it can find a good home.

Overall, it’s a stunning car inside and out, and needs to be viewed to be appreciated.

More pictures and videos can be sent to anyone who is interested

Apologies. I have updated my posting with my asking price.

Nice advert, it would be worth listing what brand the parts are that have been replaced, especially the exhaust. Also it would help massively if you fitted an is lip on the front, for the money you're asking it wont cost a lot to do and will make the car look 10 times better. Good luck with the sale.

I don't have the details of the parts replaced. However, it was stock when I acquired the car and my regular garage knows me well enough to keep it that way. My old IS lip conspired to fall off (starting from a dislodgment from one corner) during a recent road trip and I have not gotten round to replacing it, but thanks for the advice.

Sold. Went to a good owner. Thanks everyone.
