Used 1994 BMW 318ic E36 - Check Video - 5spd manual - - by for sale in Birmingham, AL

Please read the ad before calling or messaging me. Here's a video I shot a couple days ago:

This is my weekend car. Bought it as a project a few years ago, and made it road worthy. Having to sell it to fund maint on my daily driver. It's got high miles (304k) but runs and sounds great.

Previous owner re-sealed the engine, and put a new clutch (Sachs) on the trans. Pulls very well on all gears.

Has a performance exhaust. It's loud when you step on it, but not annoying at hwy speeds. Sounds more like a rally car. Check video.

Do not contact me to sell me services!

Gorgeous 90s bimmer. It's not a show car. Not fast, but the back end will slide out in a heartbeat, and has fun acceleration on the hwy.
You can install a differential w/ 3.8 final drive if you want, but I liked the torque the way it is and I think you will too. Not a car for an inexperienced teenager!

Mostly interested in cash. But may consider a partial trade for another car (project maybe) PLUS cash. No checks please, cash only.
