About this car
Bid to $20,550 on Cars & Bids on August 16, 2023 — the auction ended without meeting its reserve. This 1991 BMW 318is Coupe is finished in Diamond Black Metallic over a black interior and is powered by a 2.5-liter S14 EVO3 4-cylinder swap paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It shows 173,600 miles and was offered by a selling dealer in Bradenton, Florida with a clean Florida title.
What the photos show
- Black paint is glossy and straight on all sides with no visible dents, so no repaint bill on what is shown.
- Two-tone seats look clean and well shaped with no tears seen, no need to reupholster.
- Dash looks smooth in the cabin photo with no cracks obvious at this size, so no dash bill is visible, though a close look is still wise.
- The cabin shows a suede aftermarket steering wheel and a red gear gaiter in the photos, so allow for putting it back to stock if originality matters to you.
- Aftermarket multi-spoke wheels look clean, no need to refinish them.
- Gauges are clear and legible in close-up, so no cluster repair is obvious.
- Can't judge the engine bay, no engine photo was in the viewed set, so check it before bidding.
- Can't judge the underside, no underside photo was viewed, so a lift check is still needed.
Money: at $20,550 the glossy black paint and tidy seats support the bid, with the modified wheel, gaiter and wheels the thing to price in if you want a stock car.
