I am in Kingston, Jamaica. I am a first time BMW Driver. I like Fred.Larsen find myself driving around for no apparent reason other than to be in the car. I find myself volunteering to take one of my girlfriends home from work often, she lives in the Mountains, I love how the car whips right around the corners, its almost like its not even trying. You turn the Wheel and the whole car is around the corner in what seems like a millisecond without a roll or slip, amazing! My 2002 316Ti has a 1.8 Liter 16v In-Line 4, Double-VANOS, Valvetronic, with ASC/T (Active Stability and Traction Control), Steptronic 5-Speed Auto, Anti-lock Brakes, Four Spoke Leather Multifunction Steering Wheel, Cruise Control BMW Business with Cassette and Speed Sensitive Volume for the Radio, 6 CD Changer in the Rear, Rear Battery, Sport Seats w/ Fabric and Leather with Thigh Support, Alarm with Interior Motion Sensor, Adaptive Transmission Management (Normal, Winter, or Hill Climb/Start-off), Shiftlock and Interlock, Sports Suspension with Central Arm Rear Axle with Anti Squat and Anti Dive, Single Joint Spring Strut Front Axle with Anti Dive, Anti-roll Bar Front and Rear, Headlight Angle Control, Automatic Air Conditioning with Solar Sensor and Automatic Air Recirculation with Micro and Charcoal Filters, Light Alloy Wheels, Car Key Memory, Rechargeable Key Remote through Ignition, Cargo Nets Back of Front Seats, Fog Lamps, Front+Side+Head(A-Pillar) Airbags, Central Locking with Electronic Immobiliser, and Crash Sensor. . I think that should be the majority. I think My next Upgrade will be to get some larger Mags, maybe 17's w/ 225 55 Tires. Anybody know of any Chip Upgrades for the Engine? | | | 01-17-2002, 01:59 AM | #17 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Philly Posts: 9 | hahaha sup guys! we should make this a busy board. -Stealth | | | 01-19-2002, 03:40 PM | #18 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Rochester, NY Posts: 7 | 20 yr old male from Rochester, NY currently own a red '98 318ti with Active package. no mods, it's bone stock.

I wish the lady who had it before me took better care of it, but hey, it's a project car | | | 01-27-2002, 02:40 PM | #20 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 7 | Hey all: I'm a 36 year old auto and motorcycle nut. I own a 2001 BMW R1200c Phoenix motorcycle. ( a cruiser) And am in the process of buying ( hopefully) a 1996 Ti with 54k on it. When it comes to this car and the different models, I'm lost. The car I'm looking at has the upgraded stereo, ten speakers I think, is this a characteristic of any special model? What sucks big time is there is no owners manual with the car, is there a way to find out the model thru the vin number? And what about the manual, can I get one for a 1996 model? Thanks for the help. | | | 01-28-2002, 03:39 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Westchester, NY Posts: 234 | Ebay has 2 96ti owner's manuals for sale as of this morning....1/28/02 | | | 02-02-2002, 12:52 AM | #22 | Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 74 | Hey Guys...I ahve been on this post for a while, but never got around to adding anything to this thread.

I live in AZ. I just bought my first BMW yesterday, 2/28/02, and a ti at that. I bought a 95' ti sport, jet black, with all the trimings. Akimoto intake, headers, and exhaust, Dinan chip, M-package (front spoiler, side skirts, mirrors, and rear bumper). I absolutly love it. This is my first German car. I have driven American and Japanese cars before, but this German made car is a REAL car. I just had a new stero installed so it is starting to have personal touches. Who's next? | | | 03-04-2002, 12:06 AM | #26 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 18 | Hi i own a 96 red active ti and i am have talked to the guys at downing/atlanta for a supercharger in the near future.

I'm Valorie and I have owned a 1998 Sport ti for a little over a year. It's red and has an after-factory tailpipe, but no other mods. I live in the SF area and use public transit to work, so I rarely get to drive my baby. Looking forward to browsing through the topics.

Then you have a Club Sport. That is unless someone put the ///M-Technic trim afterwards. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 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 | | | |
