This car was exactly what hubbie was looking for, black/black, M tech package, cali top... so we flew to Philly and drove it back. The road trip was really fun and it's been an awesome car. Mark, the previous owner, was a BMW enthusiast, so it was very well cared for. And it's been our baby too.. except now we have real babies and it's time for a bigger car, something with at least 4 doors. :-) Bottom line... it's totally worth a drive to Phoenix. :-) As far as the mechanics.. well you lost me there. I have no clue! I do know that the addition of the Carbonio cold air intake makes it sound really good! | | | 04-10-2007, 09:44 PM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Phoenix, AZ Posts: 4 | Oh, I just realized that the thing you were talking about is a super charger, that is too funny because hubbie was begging to put one of those in and we never got around to it. He's going to be so jealous if someone buys this and puts a super charger in it. teehee | | | 04-10-2007, 10:09 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | I already have a supercharger. I was just thinking if swapping my SC to that engine, or entirely swap my engine to that car (if i were to buy it). I would also have to swap ALOT of stuff outta my car to that one, lol. I would paint the car from black to blue. I dont know. Let us know how the sell goes. | | | 04-12-2007, 04:55 AM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Pennsylvania Posts: 7 | Have you guys ever had any issues with your California top??? We just bought one of these and the roof suddenly has decided to close improperly aligned...Any tips on repairing or how work on these if you have had any issues???? I have to say though the 318Ti with the california roof is the COOLEST thing...Any one thinking about this car should jump on it!!! Good Luck!!! | | | 04-12-2007, 05:22 AM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Phoenix, AZ Posts: 4 | Nope, no problems at all. We've been really lucky with this car. I think we've got a buyer lined up already, supposed to meet at the bank tomorrow, really likes the way the car drives. You might want to post your question on the main forum so it gets more traffic. Good luck with your top! | | | 04-12-2007, 09:01 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 | jamz, there is a post for the roof TIS on the forum i just updated On topic.
