E36 compact 318ti M44 MTech

[wellywally 0]

I'm looking for the m sport version with the 1.9l m44 engine (so post mid 1997 ish) with the traction option (214 AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL+TRACTION ) fitted.

Black or dark blue and under <150,000 km

Budget is up to 6k.

I'm in Wellington but could leap on a plane for the right car.

Thanks!

Si

edit: just realised the title is a bit misleading - after the whole car, not just the engine!

Manual or Auto ??

Manual or Auto ??

I'd prefer manual, but I'm open - I'd rather have an auto and a non leaking gasket/rocker than a manual and a leak...

At the moment I'm trying to persuade a seller on trademe to take his to your garage for a pre inspection - if he agrees, I'll give you a call.

Thanks,

Si

Rocker cover gaskets are not a big job....but I do understand where you're coming from

You wont regret getting a Ti. They are absolutely wonders to drive.

Dont worry too much about that gasket thing as they are easy job to replace.

Shame my one died on me yesterday. In the shop now, they reckon its either the cam or crank sensor has sh*t itself. Thank goodness for roadside rescue haha.

Am wondering what the sensors are worth though.

So in the end I bought an automatic with an rocker/head gasket oil leak!

(When I looked at trademe the other day there were 97 ti's for sale and not one of them was a manual)

Get in touch with Brent or Ray

They are bound to have a conversion available.
