Currently I have 1995 318ti, Was looking around my area and found 2 beauties for sale and with some really good price. A 1998 318ti sport version, and a 1997 328is. Both of them are in accumulate condition and around the same mileage around 170k kms, I'm torn between the 2. Any Suggestions? Pros ad Cons of a ti and is ?! | | | 02-02-2013, 07:55 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: South Central, MN Posts: 1,065 | Pros... The Ti is unique, plus the sport model gives you a bump up in appearance. Cons... The 328is is not unique. No one will notice you. __________________ | | | 02-02-2013, 08:39 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | +1 The 318ti will be more fun to drive too. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 02-04-2013, 08:38 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Ft Defiance, AZ Posts: 686 | I've got a 325ci thats a bit quicker than, and is worth more than twice the ti but it blends in with everyday traffic (as well as a bright red E46 can) I'd take the ti over it any day of the week no matter what, nothing has the character of a ti, especially a manual sport, probably one of the most fun cars to drive period. __________________ 1999 BMW 318ti 2005 MINI Cooper S | | | 02-04-2013, 06:14 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | The ti sport, well maintained and well shod handles as well as an e-36 M-3, minus the horsepower and higher insurance premiums. If you decide not the get the ti, PM me; I'd like to take a look at it.
