what up with people who drive like m3, other cars like bmw beside 318ti talk bad things about 318ti? i just don't get it? just because i have a 318ti it's save gas, all i said was i'm new to bimmerforum, showed my pictures of my car and hope to meet bfc member around my area. and i just recently move from michigan to texas. and planning to do a swap on car which after i finish school which i'm current in UTI afterward i'm planning to go to BMW STEP program. someone asked me where i was located at i told them then all i get back was you gonna get raped, at first i took it as a joke, then i joke back then this "weaksauce" person on bfc called me gay so i joked back and said how you know are you interesting? then next thing you know he said i'm looking for for rape time and i drive a 318ti? I just tho maybe i should introduce myself, I'm a proud owner of 318ti, I don't have freaky money like those guy who have big money, I'm still in school, have 4 kids at home, married, have bills to pay, i can't afford m3 like i always dream of.

Once you drive something faster you would understand. No going back.

Well here is the deal. Most of the people that drive BMW's and bag on the 318's have small penis issues so they need to pick on someone to feel better. Don't worry about it they might pick up the girl due to the car but they loose them soon due to the bedroom issues

Meh, my Country Squire has more than double the HP and tq of the ti, and handles better....But I still like the ti.

A Country Squire that handles better than a ti? I would think that just on wheelbase alone, the ti could out handle something like that. Surely you're not dealing with a stock suspension...?

The funny thing is, practically everyone I've noticed that rips on the ti drives a 3-series themselves. It's almost like they're trying to say: "This was as much BMW as I could afford, but I still feel the need to be superior to SOMEBODY." The sad thing is, too many people in the US buy a BMW because they feel it lends them some sort of status or prestige, and probably the root reason why so many like to disparage the ti- it is, after all, an economy car, but the real reason the rest of us drive one is because, like most other German cars, they are exceptionally well engineered and just flat out fun to drive!

Also? See Johnboy's post...

Those guys are just e-thuggin, hiding behind their screen name. I've had a lot of people compliment me on the ti at real world car events. Real life =/= bimmerforums.

I still tend to the notion that some may be crossing in second class.

This is the only forum I've ever been a part of were the maturity level/attitude are bar-none. I don't think I've seen a better group of people than on here. If the end of the world comes next year, you'll want to be here ..cuz you ain't getting to heaven on those other forums.

I'm sorry, but that was impossible to read. Please use sentences and paragraphs

I'm guessing you're talking about the TI being a bastard child. It was an economy BMW, and most people don't view it as a 'real' bmw.

The ti is not only a real BMW, it is a unique BMW, the only BMW hatchback. That one of the things that makes it cool, that and the fact that the ti is easy to maintain, relatively inexpensive to buy, and great fun to drive.
