Used 1989 BMW 3 Series 318is for Sale near Stratford, ON

Its the best thing I ever did! Owning Twinkles I such a jol! She is more of a cruiser then a racer, but with the top down on the way to the beach, music blasting and friends loaded in, there is nothing better in the world!

I Love my Bruno, hes the best. the only thing i dislike is the lack of parts and the fact it likes to overheat... but other than that its my baby and i wouldnt swap it for anything...ok well maybe an M3.... :)

143hp for now,ate brakes, bilstein and apex 5cm it is for full rebuilt red color m40 look, recaro seats, 9000 euro costs.....but it is built from the beginning i put subwoofers too and the car is good enough on performance,appearance and sound

remember! this is the 318i i'm referring to. Performance: 3.5/5 great handling, loves beating more powerful cars through corners. pretty good braking from the puny 4 wheel disc-brakes (i had to make a smoking emergency stop once and could actually smile after that). acceleration? lolwut? but he has his moments when he feels the need to get going. otherwise, this laid-back Bavarian enjoys just cruising along. Build Quality: wanted to give 3.5 for the solid construction and toughness all round but then i quickly remembered all those repairs. oh my yes. perhaps it was neglected/poorly maintained by the previous owner or maybe it was made the night before Wiesn. what seemed like an innocuous coolant leak became a head gasket, then the starter motor, then the gearbox wanted out and now there's a rust problem in the most inconvenient of places. and a slightly unnerving shaking when driving and idling. and... Appearance: well, it's an E30, it's a coupe, it's teh sex. pull up next to an E36 in this and you can hear the other car cringe. it's that cool. wasn't too sure about the bright red at first but it's grown on me. interior is a your typical dull black plastic BUT the dashboard has got that nice driver-oriented design. everything functions as it should. seats are comfortable and will make traffic jams more bearable. back seat space? no point pretending you can fit people in there, sorry. it will however fit a stuffed kangaroo, 3-way sunshade, your entire hockey stick collection and a helmet. boot space is quite reasonable but is of the top-loading design without the rear cutout. bad news if you like taking your spare tyre out for fresh air frequently. i almost forgot the neat toolkit you get under the bootlid. i had to buy the missing tools to make it complete but believe me, it's cool and it matters. Cost: BMW claims L/100km was about 10 when new. i'm getting about 13 (as calculated by the VehiCal). the mileage isn't something i'm overly concerned about. insurance isn't a worry either, and it still holds its value decently. cost of maintenance is okay as the price of parts in general are reasonable, but some parts are more rare/expensive. captain obvious tip: don't bother getting it serviced at a dealer. that said, it's still rather reliable. the only time i couldn't start it was when the starter motor failed to live up to its name. however i still wouldn't recommended it to anyone but the most hardcore of car bores. you do have to be really in love with this car in order to put up with all the things that will go wrong.

For a first car it is amazing, rear wheel drive with a decent amount of power, so not enough to do something overly stupid but enough to have some fun with :P. Brakes and handling are amazing but thats due to several aftermarket parts I installed, new brake discs and calipers. New gas lift suspension (no not hydrolics). Only repair its needed in ~100,000ks was a new fuel pump. Cost 4k to buy then spent probably 2 making sure it was good. Cheap as chips to run as long as you are driving sensibly being a 4 cylinder and all
