1992 316i Manual

Recommended Posts

Having to be an adult and downsize my squadron 

'92 NZ new, factory manual 316 (M40 motor) in Glacier Blue with Aquamarine 90's porn spec cloth interior
Approx 188km 
Tidy exterior, typically sagging interior (will get pics this week) 
Non ABS
No Aircon
No Airbags
Manual windows front and rear 
Have not got a WoF on it (too many blimmin cars) but the rego is on hold. 
Not entirely certain what it would need for a WoF 

The gear box changes very nicely.
I find it to be a strangely refreshing, enjoyable and simple car to drive in comparison to my other E36s.

I've put a strange amount of time and no doubt more money than the car is worth in to this beast

I got it at 184km and since then have done:
New rear shoes
New rear wheel cylinders 
New Cambelt
New thermostat
New water pump 
New Camshaft, rockers and lifters (imported from Germany) 
New spark plugs
New cam seal
New front main seal 
Engine oil and filter
Power steering flush
Gearbox oil 
Diff oil 
318Ti/318iS radiator and electric fan conversion, wired in to the fuse box with high and low speed relays as per factory 
Second hand battery
New air filter 
I have a new fuel filter to fit, but haven't had time yet

Out of all my E36s this is my favourite, I have no idea why so I am not particularly worried if I sell it 
I was supposed to use this as a daily driver but I've been using the 328, X5 and E39 when I'm not away for work

Located in Hastings
After a hugely unrealistic $1800, because I don't really want it gone and I am indeed a sick man 
I welcome inspection and viewing

It's less of an unrealistic price than you might imagine IMHO, GLWS.

I was pondering this the other day - how do you "flush" a power steering system? I'd like to do mine but can't get my head around the best method.

I run the reservoir return in to a container and have it sucking through clean fluid on the feed side until it runs clear, not too difficult to do but potentially very messy when you don't pay attention to the old fluid spilling on the floor
