1991 BMW 318is. For sale is a BMW 318is Car looks and runs great. Very good condition and owned by a longtime BMWCCA member. This is the nicest E30 I have owned and was the best and last of the solid E30 line. Only made for one year and called the poor man’s M3. Values are rising. Rare and desirable color combination of Diamond Schwartz black exterior with tan vinyl interior. Runs great and you can drive anywhere. The 5 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly. This M42 fuel injected 4 cylinder engine is peppy, runs great does not have timing belt issue to worry about like the 6 cylinder engine.
The good: Very nice driver. Reasonable miles 155,460. Almost everything works including power windows, lights, blinkers, horn, sunroof, power mirrors, fog lights, glass, wipers, locks, horn, and gauges. No rust.
