If it snows, I'm screwed. I need an all wheel drive. Here are the new parts I have had THE DEALER put on in the last 18 months. New A/C. New shocks and struts. New motor mounts. New ball joints. New ignition. New altranator. New serpentine belt. A new spark plug wire assembly outrageously priced. A BMW tune-up which changes every filter, worn hose, whatever. A new fuel pump. Two new rear tires(one week old). The car has 108,000 miles. I need to move it NOW. Make me an offer. | | | 10-11-2007, 08:07 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Va Posts: 256 | Pix and location would help your sale. "Virginia in the mountains" is a pretty big area. | | | 10-11-2007, 09:26 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Pensacola, FL Posts: 2 | BMW hey if you could tell me what the color, transmission, interior condition, and also if the car is a club sport or a sport model. And also some pictures would be great. | | | 10-11-2007, 09:28 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Columbia MO Posts: 38 | I just got rid of a 4x4 Jeep Grand Cherokee and bought a ti last week. Snows a lot more here. Get some all season tires and find an icy parking lot and practice. Post some pics and prices, I like mine so much I may buy another | | | 10-12-2007, 02:09 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 4 | Sorry, my Car is at Valley BMW in Roanoke now The car is black, I think I have a pic or two in MY Pictures. I'll look. The interior is grey, it is an automatic. I usually do not talk on these forums. The only reason I joined was to find an answer to a question so the dealership in Alabama(I lived there for 2 years...job...not by choice)didn't screw me. Also I live in Radford Va. 24141 | | | 10-12-2007, 04:16 PM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 4 | Pictures I will take some pics when I pick up my car at the dealer later today. $558 more.

Sorry, I don't take pics of my car. I just want to sell it to someone who will give it love. I've had it since '98. BTW, how do you upload pics on this site? | | | 10-13-2007, 04:32 AM | #8 | Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Atlanta, GA Posts: 70 | Depending on the pics, price, etc. I might be interested. I'm originally from Roanoke and have family there. Recently bought a ti and the wife likes it so much she wants her own. You can email me if you have more information. Would definitely need detailed pics, price, any other info you've got. tsiracer@hotmail.com | | | 10-14-2007, 06:24 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | to upload pics you need to skip the POST QUICK REPLY and use the GO ADVANCED tab. once you are there you will find an attachment tab. use that and post away! good luck __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 03-27-2008, 03:48 AM | #10 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Virginia Posts: 12 | Alleghany and Bath Counties of Virginia I also have a black 318ti that sounds similar to yours but is a manual. I have had great success with the Sports Car Clinic in Roanoke and they were much better in pricing than other places. Also, one of the guys there is an absolute BMW nut and loves my 318. I do feel your pain on that spark plug thing though, I was told it had something to do with platinum? | | | 03-27-2008, 03:48 AM | #11 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Virginia Posts: 12 | Hope you sold your car if that is what you decided to do! | | | 03-27-2008, 04:16 AM | #12 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | the stock bmw plug wires are outrageously priced. good thing magnecores are available for like $80. plugs themselves shouldn't be expensive. certainly helps to find a good shop (usually independent) with guys you can trust to tell you the straight poop and not rip you off! they're just hard to find ... __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 33 (0 members and 33 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
