Vehicle Description
Absolutely AMAZING and very original E360 318iC Convertible with
the highly sought after 5spd manual transmission and just 67K
garage kept miles. This car truly must be seen to believe just how
clean and well cared for it is, both inside and out as well as
underneath. The paint and body are in show quality condition and is
wearing all the original body panels as evidenced by the matching
original VIN stickers as pictured (rear quarter panels are not
tagged on these cars) on all 6 bolted on metal body panels. The
paint shows no signs of accident repairs or other modifications
that I could see even though the Carfax does report some sort of
"damage report" with no other useful details (this could mean
anything, including pothole damaged tire, etc) The interior is
truly incredible with excellent door panels showing none of the
usual lower panel shrinkage, super clean dash, and no dead pixels
in any of the LCD screens. The car does have the premium package
and a full BMW accessory genuine wood trim package, and the
original floor mats are still in place. It is loaded with factory
options including: Heated front seats and mirrors, Rollover
Protection System with rear headrests, Premium Audio System with
ten speakers, Factory BMW Accessory remote locks with security
system, Factory BMW Accessory CD changer, Factory BMW Accessory
genuine wood trim interior package, and Factory BMW Accessory floor
mats (still in place and in good condition). Other original 1995
318iC features include: Cruise control, Fog lamps, RARE tilt
steering column (last year fitted), 15" aluminum wheels, Deadbolt
double lock feature, full size spare (looks to be original unused),
trunk mounted tool kit (all tools in place as shown), manually
operated cloth convertible top with hard tonneau cover, and more.
Upon our purchase of the car, we have done a complete
no-expense-spared sorting of the car including (but not limited
to): new Bilstein struts, new lower front control arms, new control
arm bushings, new front brake pads and zinc coated rotors, oil
service, brake fluid service, new (aftermarket) convertible top
interior headliner (to address the headliner backing coming apart
and getting all over the interior every time you operate the top,
IYKYK) new rear speakers (originals were buzzy), new battery,
alignment, and a full PDR body inspection/correction, and full wax
and detail (the paint was already in amazing garage kept condition
and did not need any sort of invasive paint correction). I am a BMW
enthusiast and only did these items due to my love of the E36 and
to make this car perform and drive as perfectly as I possibly
could. It was already an excellent survivor example but needed a
few items to make it as close to perfect as I can make it. The only
item I did not address is the plastic beading around the rear
window is missing in a 3" section on either side where the top
folds. The window can be replaced with a new zip in OEM rear window
from BMW that comes with the new beading, but the window itself is
still very nice and clear so I found this to be unnecessary. We can
address this minuscule item if needed. The result is probably the
most well preserved, best driving, best looking E36 318i
Convertible you will find for sale anywhere at any price. Truly an
exceptional example fit for the most discerning enthusiast buyer in
the world. Simply amazing.
