Thumbs up Newbie saying hello...

Hi,

I just picked up a 1995 Alaska Blue Active Model. I've always loved the ti's and I finally picked one up in the color I love.

This would be my 7th BMW. Until recently, my 2000 M Coupe was my DD.Time to give it some rest. I look forward to learning a lot about the ti's from you guys. I've met Jess (CoolJess76) he's a wealth of information and very glad to have met him.


Here it is. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. Better ones coming soon!

Congrats on the ti and welcome to the forum friend! You've got quite the car there already. You'll find the community here is pretty helpful, as it's already saved me over $1.5k in repairs, and the response time is often ridiculously quick. Again, congrats and welcome to the forum...your car is sexy!

Thanks guys... look forward to learning a lot. All the ACS pieces are authentic, but they need to be repainted.

I live in Ventura County (Oxnard, to be specific). Been hanging out with Jess and learning so much already.

How much did you pick that bad boy up for. Looks so sick! I wish when I bought mine it came with a bunch of Schintzer goodies......Bastard.

Good luck with any future mods......If you can even add anything else to it.

You know, I didn't think I'd like it but seeing it on this car changed my mind. I still thing the Hartge spoiler is the best though
