1991 BMW 318i Sedan 5-Speed at No Reserve

This 1991 BMW 318i sedan is a Canadian-market example that is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four linked to a five-speed manual transmission. The car wears worn Alpine White paint over gray cloth upholstery, and additional features include 14″ bottle cap alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, quad headlights, power windows, air conditioning, and a Kenwood stereo. The current owner purchased the car in 2018 and has since added approximately 110k of the 245k kilometers (~152k miles) shown. The timing chain and related components were replaced in 2024, and work since then has involved replacing the alternator, spark plugs, and more as detailed below. This E30 is now offered in Canada at no reserve with a Performance Project book, service records, owner’s manuals, touch-up paint, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and British Columbia registration.

The car is finished in Alpine White (218) and is equipped with painted mirror caps and quad headlights. Paint chips are noted around the body, the front bumper cover molding is cracked, and peeling paint is present on the driver’s C-pillar. The windshield was replaced in May 2025 and a rear window motor was replaced the following December. Detailed photos of the exterior imperfections are presented in the gallery below.

The 14″ bottle cap alloy wheels are mounted with AllTrek tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs with ABS. The seller states that the rear brake rotors and pads were replaced in July 2026, and that a noise from the rear suspension is present.

The cabin features worn front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in gray cloth, and interior amenities include power windows and air conditioning. A Kenwood stereo has been installed. The onboard computer does not work, and the dashboard is cracked.

The worn M-Technic I steering wheel wears a cover and frames a 240-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 245k kilometers (~152k miles), approximately 110k of which were added under current ownership.

The 1.8-liter M42B18 inline-four features fuel injection and was factory rated at 134 horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. The timing chain was replaced in September 2024, and the timing cover gasket, guides, and chain tensioner were replaced at that time. The alternator and power steering belt were replaced in September 2025. The seller notes that work between July and September 2026 involved replacing the valve cover gasket, O2 sensor, idle air control valve, spark plugs, and both the upper and lower radiator hoses. An oil change was also performed.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage.

The vehicle is being sold on its British Columbia registration, which serves as the ownership document in British Columbia, Canada.
