After i bought my car my dad was very impressed and went to look at the e46 318ti. He was put off by how entry level it was. Essentially exactly the same as my e36. There looked to be NO real improvements especially with the interior.

The seats looked exactly the same as my seats, and they weren't even electric. I can understand non electric for some models of e36. But common it was 2004 and still didn't come standard on a freakin' BMW!!

Even so, i wish he had bought it knowing how good a car they are. And might have eventually bought it off of him.....

Going to my dealer makes me feel like I drive the Escort of BMW's.

At least I'm used to the abuse now.

A 318ti is still a BMW. People at school still stare when I drive it through the parking lot and call me a rich kid, they wouldnt do that if I drove a new 06' civic.

Hey I just got my Ti and it is my first car and it runs nice if you have some good upkeep on it. And I am quoting you because I LOVE your wheels man, what are they?
