Cool RARE 1999 BMW 318TI CALIFORNIA TOP - GREAT CONDITION - NEAR CHICAGO

RARE 99 RED BODY AND PAINT IN EXCELLENT SHAPE
AUTOMATIC, 140K MILES, RUNS GREAT AND DRIVES WELL
Has the nice 18" m3 wheels, and like new tires. See pics.

No check engine lights, runs great, paint is like new, not faded in any way, the red actually looks deep red not pink, interior is in descent shape for the age, has heated seats, alarm and keyless entry, see my post under vin run for complete build sheet.

As always lots of typically worn parts replaced:
antenna grommet
engine mounts
tranny mounts
valve cover and intake powder coated red to match exterior color
valve cover gasket, oil passage grommet replaced
mobil 1 fully synthetic oil change and filter
driveshaft flex disc (guibo) was replaced, along with the centering ring
replaced the oil filter housing gasket and o-rings
replaced both coolant connectors, and fresh new blue bmw coolant
all four new jack pads installed, they were missing
tubing for windshield washer fluid replaced
all dry rotted vacuum lines replaced
brand new laser iridium spark plugs
newer complete stainless exhaust system
various plastic mouldings replaced, clips etc.

I'm sure I am missing something so I'll update if I need to.

Vehicle was in a small accident before, front bumper cover had to be repainted, hood had to be replaced and painted, as well as the front header piece with a new kidney grille installed.

Brakes are good all around. Has the vented front rotors.

All it needs as of today is a new passenger side door air bag which I am trying to locate right now, if I have to I'll bite the bullet and buy it from the dealer. I got this ti almost to cream puff level at this point. It's a nice one. Asking $5K, but will consider any reasonable offers. Before you ask why I am selling it, for one I have too many cars, and two, I love working on these ti's and saving them from the auction, and when I see one for sale such as this one I cannot resist buying it, I never owned a california roof one until this one, my first car was a ti and there is just too much love there, I even had installed a dasc in one before, I am done working on this one, so here it is, onto its new home.

BTW, I did not figure in any sentimental value into the asking price, even though shes worth it. Thanks.
