CA FS: 1995 318ti Schwarz II Clubsport

[dnav]

Hey everyone,

I've recently moved to the San Francisco Bay area and, as much as I love it, I don't really have use for my car anymore. I'd rather this great car reside with someone who will use it to its full potential.


















It has 188,8xx miles. I've had it for just about 4 years and it has run without any mechanical problems. The only big repair I ever had on it was the driver's side window regulator failed, but it was replaced. I have most of the service records (oil changes) and I replaced all the brake pads, discs, and parking brake shoes in October 2011.

The only issues with it are cosmetic. There are some tiny dings and scratches on the body. There is a small scrape on the passenger side quarter panel, the headliner drapes, the interior hatch cover is faded and cracked, and the driver's seat has a small tear. Other than that, this clubsport interior is basically immaculate. There are no cracks in the dash and the leather is in great shape.

The air conditioning works, it shifts great, and handles wonderfully. I really love this car. I'm not in a hurry to sell it or anything, I just don't really use it that much anymore.

I'm asking $5,000 and I'll entertain reasonable offers. I'm in Oakland, California and you can reach me here, by email at dnav89[at]gmail.com or by text at 510-495-0715. Thanks for looking!

Good sir, your car

Prod.date - 1995-09-26
P337A - M Sports package
S704A - M Sports suspension
Upholstery - STOFF MILLPOINT/ROT (D7RT)

sadly no LSD option.
However, all points says "yes this is a real clubsport" and is dead center of the small production run of cars. 270'ish.

Alright, since I've seen very little activity here, I'm assuming I've got this listed too high. What do you guys think it's worth? Feel free to make an offer.

[erikerikerik]

cycles... a few months ago everyone was buying, now everyone is repairing.

bump on bimmerforums? Craigslist it? ebay it?

with 188xxx ? When was the last time transmission fluid was changed? I am KIND OF INTERESTED just not sure if I want to sell my wagon. $5k might be kind of steep but I have not ever owned a clubsport.

FFS I'm totally dropping the ball on forum posts today...

Transmission fluid hasn't been changed while I've owned it, so I'm not sure

I've got it listed on Craigslist, had some (expected) lower offers. I'm alright with sitting on the car for a while though, it costs me very little to keep.

I'm looking at getting a motorcycle, so if anyone wants to straight up trade for a newish small displacement sport bike (CBR/SV/Ninja, etc.) we could talk about that too.

I don't think that you are too far off on price, expecting to be talked down, of course. I've seen people ask for that kind of money with seemingly more beat and tampered with examples.

Of course I live in the PNW where the dollar seems to depreciate markedly in comparison to the rest of the country. I call it the "Microsoft effect".

http://salem.craigslist.org/cto/3912510758.html ...For comparison, this guy is wanting $5k. It sounded beat.

GLWS. I ride a Suzuki V-strom (DL-650). You should have a look at them. Very versitile and it wont kill you.

Yeah, similarly we have "California Pricing" I see a lot of the same exact cars selling for wildly different amounts in CA vs. the South/East coasts.

I do like the V-strom actually, thanks for the tip!

[BRADESTAR]

Well.....I wouldn't be able to head your way any time soon. I've been looking for a Cali-top, but if you were closer I think we'd deal. Interested in road trip to Seattle? You can ride a grey non-abs '07 v-strom back in style! (around 17K miles) I'd miss it, but just bought a foreclosure and have had no time for stromming.

Is this still available? I am interested.
