that two-tone is definitely not stock the 95 ti's had gray on the lower trim, but not the bumpers and bottoms of the doors like that.

don't forget to add your info to the buyer's guide thread, we don't want to have to send aceyx after you for the info

Congrats on the 318ti! All E36 3 series wheels including M3 will fit on the ti. Other things you can think about is foglight, clears (replace orange), euro headlight and HID for minor mods.

That two-tone looks really good. Is the paintwork well done or was it just some cheap maaco paintjob?

grrrrr! is really all i can say right about now!

i am extremely mad/ and let down and just sorta sad.

i went to check out the car today and the lady kept postponing me to show up at "her" house which ended being one of her friends. she told me it ran great had title in hand get there to meet her friend cause she wasnt home yet. and the house was very ghetto and i am sure the house was a place for a few crack heads with the windows covered in paper and the guy was trying to sell me his 12 pitbull puppies.

soon to see the car was in terrible shape many many leaks from underneath, bumper held on by STRING huge gash in the hood about half inch thick and a foot and a half long!

the tags were not even in exsistence and it didnt even have a license plate!

the guy that was at the hosue she called hers said it has been parked there for a few months and probably wouldnt start without a jump. and she told me it was her daily driver.

the car was completely filled with garbage and not even attempted to be cleaned out for me to buy it. the area was so ghetto and sketchy i actually thought the guy was gonna rob me and take the money i had.

well sad day came to end and my everlasting search continues for a ti


anyone in dallas texas area got one for sale??

wanna make my day??


lol
