Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1991 BMW 318i has been heavily modified with a desirable M54 engine swap, five-speed manual transmission, and limited-slip differential. Extensive mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment including rust repair and a respray make this a compelling package, though some interior wear and paint finish irregularities are present.
Condition
7
The car has undergone significant mechanical and cosmetic updates including an M54 engine swap, rust repairs, respray, and upgraded brakes and suspension. However, there are some noted imperfections such as an uneven metallic finish on upward-facing surfaces, windshield chips, exterior imperfections, carpet stains under the driver's seat, and wear on the back of the front seats. The speedometer also functioned intermittently until recently repaired, and the coolant temperature gauge is inoperative. These factors prevent a higher rating but the extensive recent work indicates a 'Very Good' condition.
