I want this, I want this a lot.

Kinja'd!!!

It's a BMW 318is M-Clubsport, #46 of 300.

Kinja'd!!!

It's got 97k miles on it, interior looks pretty clean, and I'm sure it'd be a blast to drive.

Kinja'd!!!

My issues with it began when I noticed that it has no airbags, nor does it have A/C, and maybe the biggest issue, I'd have to release the FiST back into the wild.

I love the FiST but that doesn't mean I would never give it up for something better. Selling the FiST would free up some money for travel, beer, and beer. And I could bring the 318is back to the states where it would be worth a little more.

Help me.

Do it. The FiST and FoST are overrated anyways....I'm looking to get out of the FoST for something else in a couple years..

*I am a FoST owner and approve this message

I want to keep the FiST but I feel like I might regret not buying the BMW in the long run.

BMW = Right wheel drive

FiST = wrong wheel drive

Problem solved. Also more money for beer is always great

I want a many great things that'll be my next car: E92 M3, 997 or 996, Mustang, I could go on. But knowing that whichever of those cars I go to next, if the FoST is sold or traded in for it, it's going to a worthy cause in the long run. :)

Another problem...not a US-car. Can't take it back with you until it hits 25 years. Quick internetz search shows that it might be a '97. So no way to get it back until 2022.

What's your email? I have a buddy looking to sell a '92 325i coupe (take it back in 2017) in a couple months.

*Edit....looks like he says it's a '91. I'd verify.

The different shades of paint are a bit of a worry. You'd want to have it checked out thoroughly.

Where do you see different shades? I just assumed it was the lighting.

The front of the car up to the back of the door is a brighter shade than the rear quarter. If it was lighting it would be really unlikely for the shade to change right on a panel gap.

The different shade just means some paint work has been done - it could have been a cosmetic repair, a minor traffic accident or a major rebuild. You'll only find out if you do a throrough inspection.

Thanks for the heads up! If I go look at it I'll give Oppo an update.

I was about to post on that. There's another shot with a head-on angle and there are two-different headlight assemblies. One ZKW style on the passenger side and one normal one for the driver. Here it is on Graf Bookoo, with different wheels and a lower price:

Sorta strange how it doesn't have airbags. Interesting looking car though.

The FiST is a great car

for the third owner, that is

just like pretty much every other car

You don't get the opportunity to own a 1 of 300 car very often. If you really regret selling the ST there will always be one around to buy if you have remorse. Get the BMW.

Keep the FiST, it's a 318.

I would avoid based on the paint work alone. If they did that so poorly you never know what their work looks like underneath.

Yep, Im in the same boat with my FoST right now. Realizing buying brand new wasn't the best idea in the world apparently. Hoping to get myself into a truck, or a used WRX at this point. NYC winters have gotten brutal.
