Default RIP: My 318ti

Hey everyone, some of you may know my alpine white ti and some don't. I haven't posted on here in ages. She has been a keeper for the past 14 years, but her time has come to and end. I was on my way to work last week and got into an accident. My fault sad to say. The ti took the big hit. No one was hurt.

Here are some pics from beginning to end:

I'm glad everyone is ok. Sorry to see your ti though, it was a great looking car. That new M3 is gorgeous though.

You going to part it?

Nice M3, have serious fun with it!

For the last picture. I remember asking you a few things when I first started on this forum years ago. Sad to see it go too.
Do you know the extent of the damage? (I know our ti's don't have much value, but it would be cool if you can repair it)

I got a Dinan car after my ti too haha...not as cool as an M3 tho...
I feel ya on the ti though, no matter how slow it was I still loved it. I drive the ti whenever I can, and I still enjoy every second of it too.

to the AW to the E46

Sorry to see your beautiful ti gone. Another 318ti RIP. We are losing so many members this couple of years. At least nobody got hurt from the accident.

Good luck and congrats on the E46 M3! It's sure a fun bimmer to drive.
