As mentioned, the window regulators are an issue to watch (replaced 2X_). I have a '99 sport ti and love it. Regular maintainance is a must. The fog lamps tend to crack inexplicably at times (an E36 problem in general)...use BAV protectors. I had the passenger air bag seat sensor go out under warranty; and one of the engine mounts come loose under warranty. Front ball joints will need to be replaced. Brakes are outstanding. Handling is great; manual transmission is fun and adds more "pep" to the car. The practicality of the hatchback was a real selling point for me. The sport model interior is an upgrade; larger wheels and tires; stiffer suspension; "M" front and rear fascias with side mouldings; "M" 3-spoke steering wheel. One other thing, my radio had to be replaced, the toggle for the CD/radio selector became inoperative....so check that out. Check for valve cover gasket leaks. |

As it turns out 318Tis are a little rare :( ... but to help the above questions i suggest you visit the differential section for more info |
Ive owned my 99 ti for about a year thought i was the only one had to fix the driver side regulator 4x now luckly the shop i take it to just charged me once . |
I think that the fragile cooling system is worth mentioning, especially the two plastic water pipes, one behind the the head and the firewall, and the other underneath in intake. |
