 Possible 318ti buyer
I am living in the Concord area in MA, and after having a tragic death of my Jeep (everyday driver) I am looking at a 318ti for my next car. I like the car a lot... but I was wondering a few things:
1. Does the car have enough "kick" to it to keep you heppy when driving along? I came from a Jeep so I want something with a little more of a fun factor in it for my next work/school car.
2. Can a turbo kit be bought for the 318? I have read a lot about the DASC but I would rather turbo my car than to supercharge it.
3. I read a lot about M3 transplants from the E36 days... problem I see is that you are adding more weight for the car... would it be possible to transplant something like an E30 M3 Euro-spec engine in it? I can find a new engine like that for $2100.
I am looking right now at all the Ti's I can find in this area. I am looking specifically at the ones with a 5spd, the M package (otherwise I think it looks too dull) and most of them are in the 97-98 range. What can I do... what do you think?
Thanks a lot.
