Just got this car a couple of weeks ago. Its a 1985 4 door 318i. It has a five speed transmission, power windows, power locks, cruise control and all the goodies. The only thing it doesn't have is a power sunroof, and I'm OK with that, as the one in my 325i just broke a couple of weeks ago. It has 117,000 original miles on it, and I just rebuilt a cylinder head for it because the previous owner ran it hot until it cracked the head. The only modification is an ANSA performance muffler. It is from the around the same time as the car (you can tell because in the early 1990's ANSA started painting the inside of the tips black instead of orange).
