Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1985 BMW 318i coupe is a heavily modified E30 featuring a supercharged S52 engine swap, five-speed manual transmission, and upgraded suspension and brakes. While it boasts desirable performance enhancements and a recent repaint, it also has documented past damage and some interior wear that will need attention.
Condition
7
The car has undergone significant modifications including a supercharged S52 engine swap, upgraded suspension, and brakes. While the paint was redone and exterior upgrades like fender flares and Euro bumpers were added, there is documented damage from 2009 (curb impact), the tires are aged, and the interior has some wear with a cracked dash and loose headliner. These factors indicate a 'Very Good' condition, requiring some minor reconditioning.
