hey! I just bought my Ti a few days ago...
I'm beginning to think I have a '95 Sport, after reading through this while topic and others.
March 95
Red w/ black side skirts, bumper valences
Colour-matched non-M Mirrors
No M-Tech anything
Manual Sport Seats (leather + cloth)
Black Interior w/ squiggly pattern
Leather 4-Spoke Steering Wheel + Shift Knob
5-Speed
LSD
Cruise Control
No OBC
Sunroof
AM/FM/Cassette/CD Changer
It came with the 15" 10-Spoke Sport Wheels, and 15" Steelies + Hub Caps / snow tires.
Any reason to think that this isn't a '95 Sport - I haven't voted yet!

-rich in vancouver, bc | Hey there Rich, welcome to the forum. The fact that you have the leather/cloth sport seats and a LSD would lead me to believe that you have a sport model, however people often swap parts on these cars. In '95, the only models that came with M Technic trim were ClubSports. Congrats on the purchase and again, welcome to the forum! | | | | | 11-06-2010, 07:58 PM | #217 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Germany Posts: 68 |
I wish there was an LSD available for the 323ti........
I guess BMW thought that ASC+T is the same and put that in instead....it's ok for bad weather conditions but not a LSD | | | | | 11-06-2010, 08:13 PM | #218 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |

what are the two OEM sizes of sway bar? | 318ti non-sport models came with 25mm front swaybars, sport models came with 26mm: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...20&hg=31&fg=10 E36 M3's came with 23mm swaybars, but they're tied to the struts with swaybar links: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...67&hg=31&fg=10 Non-M e36 coupes and sedans came with 24mm front swaybars and the swaybar links attach to the chassis like the 318ti. | | | | | 11-07-2010, 02:25 AM | #221 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2010 Location: Vancouver, BC Posts: 10 |
Sport it is! Thanks Jess. The front bar is 26mm. And it seems a little low and firm to be just a basic BMW. It's nearly the same as my old lowered Datsun for ingress and egress.  | | | | | 12-27-2010, 07:55 AM | #222 | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Tacoma Posts: 14 |
I picked up a base 97 with 134k, sunroof, ASC, automatic (yeah I'm wiered), for only 2 grand. Thought I was getting a deal, now I'm into another 'project' car.
It died the first day I had it. Bought it 'as is' and the seller was a total DB when I told him about what happened. Drove fine in the test drive, should have drove it longer.
So, I'm done venting. Love the car, just not its project status. Once I replace the coil and some of the vacuum lines it will be a daily driver.
My first bimmer is an adventure. | | | | | 12-27-2010, 10:24 PM | #223 | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Houston Posts: 6 |

I have an Alaska blue 96 m sport. No sunroof. Cloth and leather manual seats (black) i dont have any things that add extra weight, such as cd changer, and stuff. I have a lot of plans for this car! I'll be a 332ti sooner or later lol. Got 185 on the odometer. In Incredible shape.
