I am very pleased with the quality and handling of the car. This is such a fun little package. RWD, DOHC 4 cylinder hatchback. I am a man in love. I bought this after I had to get rid of my 1997 VW Golf 2.0. This new car is just a new level of fun. Mine has the M-Tech body kit and a very clean body. Looking to do some small mods like struts/springs and an tuned exhaust. Also looking around for some lightweight wheels. Since this is my first BMW I may have some questions. I appreciate the ad everyone! Here are a few pictures of the car. Last edited by DerekNH; 01-28-2015 at 03:02 AM.

Jealous you have one as i'm in still on the hunt for one as clean and nice as yours. Are you on stock suspension because your 318ti has the perfect amount of rake at that height! when i do get mine i most likely will go with H&R springs which lowers the car 1.4" front and 1.0" rear and i'm hoping it stays raked. __________________ 92 Nissan Stanza - Backseat Shenanigans and Tom Foolery - sold and would pickup another 94 Del Solo SI - The Go Get Her - sold 94 auto Prelude "S" for slowww - Daily schmaily - sold 91 MX-5 Miataz - Silversurfer - Weekend Bandicoot 96 5-speed 2dr RAV - Purple baby monster - New Daily Last edited by handballallday; 01-28-2015 at 03:17 AM. | | | 01-28-2015, 03:58 AM | #3 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | 145,000 miles. I've been trying to put all of that information in my profile on this site but I've been having some trouble getting everything to cooperate. I ran a Carfax on the car and it was purchased first in Massachusetts and stayed there its entire life except for 2 years where it was driven out to California. To my knowledge the suspension is stock, or possibly the wrong springs in the rear due to the height! But I am going down the same road as you, grabbing a set of H&R springs once I get a few other things sorted on the car. | | | 01-28-2015, 03:59 AM | #4 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | And to answer your first question. I paid $3000 for the car. | | | 01-28-2015, 05:39 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | I think the white and silver ti's are the best looking of them all.

I was also very impressed with the condition of the interior of the car. This was just taken after I threw some Armor-All and a vacuum at it. | | | 02-27-2015, 02:22 AM | #11 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Augusta, GA Posts: 9 | Looks great! Have fun in the snow up there. I have a brother in Concord, and he said there is plenty of it up there. | | | 02-27-2015, 02:31 AM | #12 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | Quote: Originally Posted by kipower Looks great!

Makes me want a white one. I just can't believe you guys have had over 100" of snow! I heard it snowed everyday for like a month in some parts. Have fun with the car! __________________ | | | 03-16-2015, 05:00 AM | #14 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | Quote: Originally Posted by M-technik-3 That car is a former members car.
