One Owner 1996 318TI.
You might find in the CarFax report that this car has had to owners, but that's not quite right. Around 7 years ago when my son was starting to drive, I decided to give him this car and I transferred the title to his name, around three months later I took the car back and bought him a new one, he had ideas of replacing BMW parts with after market parts, so the car is still on his name but I have the title and the Car. I drove this car out of the Dealer in 1996 and it still takes me to work today. I keep records of every thing done to the car through the years. I service this car myself, oil has been changed always around 3000 miles. It has 4 three months old Falken tires, 2 month old A/C Compressor. I take this car to work every day. It's hard for me to sell this car, love driving it. As a negative note, about a month ago I scraped the right side of the car on the highway trying to avoid a flying suitcase, before that on 2010 the left door, left mirror an rear quarter panels were damaged while the car was parked, no major damage, all parts were fixed in a very reputable Body shop. I still keep the original Driving wheel, Stereo and also I'm including 4 oil filters I had already purchased. My recommendations are: This car is ready for a paint job, except the side that was fixed by the body shop the paint on this car is original and is in need to be replaced and when you do that take care of a little body work on the right side to fix those scratches.
The Rims have been installed for many years and have lost some of the shine, but they ride perfect.
The instrument cluster has been showing the ABS light for a few years, took it to the Dealer, they said it needed some valve for the antilock system engage in case needed, I did not see the a very high reason to spend the money, the breaks go fine and in 16 years have never let me down. It's also showing the air bag light, that's due to the fact that the original Wheel was removed for a momo wheel. You'll need to buy a couple of Fog lights, that's one of the things my son replaced and I took them off recently. The radio and speakers work great, (have replace the rear ones like three times), so do the power windows. The Rug is the original one.
As of today the car has 200 556 miles and counting….I believe the Engine can go another 200 000 if taken care off properly. As a note I must say I have never used Synthetic oil, just good quality conventional oil.
Hope you win this car, if you fix it, please send me pictures and tell me about the car.

BMW i3 EV continues to shed camouflage
Thu, 11 Apr 2013As BMW gets closer to introducing the production version of its plug-in i3, we keep seeing the hatchback being tested with lessening degrees of design-obscuring camouflage. Last we heard, BMW is expecting to have the i3 ready by the end of this year, and the swirly, blue camo does little to hide its basic design in these latest spy shots.
We get our first clear look at almost everything above the wavy beltline including the silver roof edges and matching mirror caps, and it can't hide the dip in the beltline behind the B-pillar - matching what we've already seen on the i3 Coupe Concept unveiled at the LA Auto Show last year. Another change we notice is the lower portion of camo removed from the front fascia allowing us to see the air opening and the black, vertical inserts leading up to the fog light bezels. Judging by the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the side of this prototype, we can only assume that this is the optional range-extended model.
Audi S3 pitted against BMW M135i in track battle
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Audi and BMW have long been enemies on both the road and the track, with their respective M and S/RS lines duking it out to the delight of auto enthusiasts everywhere. In this video from Evo, two of the rivalry's newest combatants take to the track - the Audi S3 and the BMW M135i.
The new Audi S3, which is finally coming to America, throws down with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. 290 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque are deployed to a Quattro all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed, S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission, allowing the five-door Audi to scamper to 60 in under five seconds.
The BMW, which Americans will know as a long-roof version of the new M235i Coupe, comes to the track with 320 ponies and 331 lb-ft of torque. That's a good bit more than the Audi, but the M135i has only two wheels to send its power to, an eight-speed single-clutch automatic (a six-speed manual is available) and a slightly higher curb weight.
BMW i3 misses top Euro safety rating [w/videos]
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.
Based on the crash results, the BMW provided suitable protection for occupants in the frontal, side barrier, pedestrian and child-seat tests, but the i3 was tripped up when it came to the more severe side pole test and the rear-impact test. The pole test showed protection to the chest of the test dummy was "weak," and the front seats only provided "marginal" protection against whiplash for front passengers. Scroll down to watch two videos released by the Euro NCAP of the i3 being tested.
