BMW 318is AC Schnitzer Manual Coupe 1996

[gjm 3193]

Or not. AC Schnitzer, that is. It does have an ACS exhaust (tailpipe, at least) but not much else that's obvious.

Engine is the M44, so looks to be a 1996 E36 318iS 5-speed manual coupe with an ACS (part?) exhaust.

Quite nice. Good colour (if you like purple).

Would have been very keen if we'd not just spent some money on Miss M's 318i to get some stuff sorted.

Not sure if they could have taken worse photos.

Pretty easy to work out if it has an LSD and short shift and they're hardly common on a 318i.

Engine bay looks immaculate if that says anything.

Too expensive IMHO... E36 318's should be less than $2k really. Especially with quarter of a million km's.

They seem to have bottomed out price wise, I paid 2700 for mine 3+ years ago, similar condition.

The 'cooking' 318i manual seems to be only a couple $k cheaper for anything actually worth having.
