3 SERIES 92 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 18K for an auto 318is! Just about M3 price. Think he's a bit of a dreamer. Should be able to get about 22k for mine ha ha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 That's a performance exhaust alright! Looks like he took some random information from google. Someone should ask for a dyno chart of his 318. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markq 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Guys, This is one VERY special M Spec car and not just a 318is. 209kw at the wheels, I note the standard BMW Vinyl has been upgraded to leather, straight from the cows ass. The other defining factor for this 'non rip off M sport' is that they came a a factory auto (not SMG that the rip off Msports can have). Only.............only............100,000 made. Somehow this makes it rare?? Someone, quick, buy it!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markq 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 jealousy will get me me nowhere.......sigh. I've asked for the VIN so I can confirm from the build sheet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm true - I should make him show me the dyno sheet and pay him per kW maybe? In fact, what am I thinking driving a 540 when I could have got one of those with nearly as much power! Maybe he'll trade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he'll trade Yeah, he may not go for that.........you know.......considering your is soooooooooooooo common. I think I see a 540iS on every street corner these days!!! But hey, if he'll trade plus cash his way then yeah, go for it. Bring on that auto! Wonder if it has 'sport' mode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you know that only 377,452 of those 100,000 "real" 318iS's had sport mode? Interesting huh? Makes them even rarer apparently. Soooo much better than a manual for sporty driving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you know that only 377,452 of those 100,000 "real" 318iS's had sport mode? Interesting huh? Makes them even rarer apparently. Soooo much better than a manual for sporty driving I have just been browsing the interwebby thing and it turns out this 318is in racing form was the only car in the series with an automatic sports mode trasmission...............umm............yeah...........it never won a race. Strange for such a super car. Anyway, that my peice, before I get too sarcastic. PS: my 535i E39 is also special, it has Leather seats, and auto with tiptronic (not quite as good as auto with Sport mode) and from memory the 535 translates to the HP?? so his is 318HP (237kw) at the fly wheel, give a little loss down the drive train and you get 209kw at wheel. Now I really want an 850. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty good miles, maybe $6.5 Aside from the crazy description, actually looks like a tidy car, need to check if it's indeed a 96 or a 97, as it's a facelift model. $6.5k-$7.5k sounds good if it's tidy EDIT: Body has way more KMs, $6.5k if it's tidy, need to check up on why it needed a new engine!

Mark 178 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 I'm trading my crappy 325i with only 192 horsepower at the crank for this bad boy with over 280 horses at the wheels! Can someone lend me 9 grand? This 318is > EVERYTHING!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 What you just whipped that dyno graph up on Excel? It could legitimately make 209kW, if it uses a fully worked S14 or S42. I am a little unsure of how the auto box would get all that to the wheels though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venatus 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) he just replied with a dyno sheet, I can only just make out that it says bmw 318is at the bottom... i wonder if its a fake dyno sheet? maybe he knows someone with a dyno or something... EDIT: Oh ok, i didnt realise someone already posted it. haha sorry EDIT AGAIN: Oh I see what cain means by did you just whip that up in excel. yeah it does look very excel, I havent seen many dyno sheets but that really doesnt look anything like the ones ive seen before...

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 If it's got 209kW. I'll take it for a spin. I'm with Simon. If it can put out more than the 540iS. I consider a trade. I wonder if he'll give me the cash difference? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
