What a glorious day to continue my search for a 318ti  Have lined up 5 yip 5  to go see tomorrow  One that looks most promising is a 1998 sport low miles dressed to perfection in standard jet black attire. Only other bmw "cars" where a 520se many moons ago and a close encounter with an E30 325i sport back in about 1997 and a new 116i Msport in early 2006 "should have got it ".... Have a bmw R1150gs Motorcycle  Well the plans for the 318ti in one word just FUN hill climbs/sprints maybe the odd track day So plans are to lose some of its weight drop the AC etc, nice set of coilovers, new bushes, bigger brakes, maybe a Z3 rack... I'm not after big bhp or straight line speed if it handles like a go-kart and only does 110mph lol that’s fine by me.. Anyway hello and I will post pics when I get a car and the modification process.. |  |  | | 03-12-2009, 04:11 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 |
