Re: anyone knows the background of this E36 318IS?
cavallino - perhaps you should simply contact the owner and arrange to view his car.
It's good to do some background checks but often, you'll find your search a lot easier by actually taking the trouble to see the car for yourself... go down and look at it, touch it. Do your sums beforehand, but don't guess the worth of a used car based on some photographs and numbers.
I'm not on the road very much but I think stick-shift E36 Coupes are not common in Singapore (nope I do not know this owner and I've not seen his car). When I was searching for my first car, I went to view a light-blue one that was in absolute mint condition... full original AC kit and white leather interior. While the offer price was pretty high - and in those days second-hand cars cost a lot - it was completely reasonable to me.
You may be surprised at what you'll see.

Honestly speaking, when buying a 318is, it all depends on the conditon of the car, if its very very good condition and been rebuilt or done up before, its worth paying a large sticker price. If the car is very badly mantained and seems like it requires lots of time and work to get it done proper, even if its Civic price i also wont bother, coz u know i know BMW although parts are not very expensive but its a killer when one shot everything spoils.... and i also cannot tahan surprise elements esp when raining in NS highway at night....
everyone agree?

Re: anyone knows the background of this E36 318IS?
Well RaF it all depends on ur interest about the car. If u prefer sedan then u would rate sedan higher..but if u love coupe/cabrio then u would rate them. Its how u feel driving it. Futhermore i love the car because of its rock solid stability. Even the E30 are rock solid compare to the civics. It only lose out slightly on horsepower which can be attained with modification. But i prefer stability n style rather then too fast too furious which are nowadays quite lame n boring.

Re: anyone knows the background of this E36 318IS?
honestly, the IS coupe produces 140HP, just 10 BHP shy of the 320. it produces adequete power for overtaking and high speed cruising. But dont expect to outsprint Evos and Rexes on traffic lights la.. haha... well...there is this called Modifications... if done properly, the drive is very very very rewarding.
