I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Thumbs up Hi to All TI's! Help on Purchase please!

First of all... Im Nak and hi to all the TI fans in here!
Im planing on purchasing a TI and want input from the pro's. I never owned a BMW before so I need all the help that I can get. Please tell me if the 2 suspects are too expensive, I have not taken them for a test drive yet but plan to this coming week end.

98
SUSPECT 1

96
SUSPECT 2

Is it worth the difference of $1000 to purchase a 98? Personally I like the black w/ black interior.

Open to all comments and suggestions...

Thanks!

-Nak

They both have low miles and both are non-sports but I would do the '96 because of the color combo unless something mech did not check out.

I would go for the 96. I like the interior in it. And the price seems ok.
