Default Finally Got me a 318ti.
I have wanted one for a long time. Had a customer come into my work with a Red 97 318ti with the sports package and cali roof. Car needs a lot of little things.

Starting the work on it this morning. New front pads and rotors...has bad shaking while braking. Then going to clean and start general maintenance. Picked it for what i thought was a good price...1200.

Front brakes are done. Stops much better no shaking. Car has been cleaned on the inside. Still need to do the outside.

Made a new thread for this since is not relevant with the original thread made and I'm sure that the owner of the thread might not appreciate it.
