Default NEWBIE TI OWNER

Just bought my TI today. I have been looking for quite sometime and finally have found what I wanted.

More photos to come later but one is attached here. I will also include all the specs later. Thanks

Hey welcome to the site

Is that an M badge? If so, lose it quickly

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

Those rims look like at least 18 inches. Must be setup nicely since you looked around for the right one.

Welcome to the club.

Welcome to the forum... that car was the subject of another thread on here. The person interested chose not to buy. You might want to check it out to see why, and if any work is needed on the car.

Here's a link to that thread.

Good luck!
Al.

Thanks. I had it checked out by local BMW dealer and all checked out with a few minor things. Valve cover gaskets need to be replaced as well as a few different hoses. A few hundred bucks and it should be OK for now. I live close to this car and had the chance to view it in person and have done the history research on the car as well. Everything checks out OK so we shall see. Definately a few things I will change but all in all looks to be a good car for my drives to the airport each week.

Are you going to get rid of the badge?
