Just bought a black 96 318ti active (i think) 105,000 thousand miles with cali top, obc,cruise, air, gray cloth interior, no fog lights, no asc, M3 contours. What a fun car to drive, I really like it so far. It took me a while to find a clean one. This site was a big help in what to look for in one of these cars, I picked up this car for 4200 from the second owner who owned it since 2000. I am just doing maintenance now as the car has been sitting and not licsensed since 2005. |  |  | | 02-27-2008, 06:35 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |

your pictures of it look much nicer | There is another black 96 for sale in washington that I had an interest in but it has over 200,000 thousand miles, a dented fender and a salvaged title, that car has been on craigslist for a while and I believe has changed hands once, it was originally 2900 but is now 3900 from a different poster. The car I bought was up for less than a day, I was the first to look at it. I knew it would not last for long, posted wednesday night and I bought it on thusday morning. If anybody needs help with washington or oregon cars let me know, I would be glad to help if you are shopping from out of state. | | | | | 02-27-2008, 09:33 PM | #11 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Washington Posts: 4 |

oh the other one may not have be a cali top now that i think about but it also had contours so thats why i thought it was the same one thanks for the offer. i also have family in the eugene area of eugene but for more northern areas you would work out great. i also found a black cali top i am going to be getting as soon as my car sells but mine is a sport  __________________
