They are... I think BMW didn't think it was worth shipping many into the States during the final production year of the TI.... When I bought my '98 TI in the spring of '98, the dealer actually thought it was the last year available ... then I saw some '99's and got pissed off. M-steering wheel and side airbags... grrr.  | | | | | 08-15-2005, 02:56 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
When I was still looking for a Ti, I was considering a 1999 that was for sale. The car was in excellent shape, and had 67K miles. My concerns were the inflated price the BMW dealership wanted, and the fact that a male college student owned it. In the end, I opted for the 1998 with 31K miles and was female owned. The reality is that now I am spending alot of money adding the extras that the 1999 had, and my 1998 didn't.  Quote: | Originally Posted by bluebastion They are...

^Indeed. You can chalk me up as another '99 owner though. It's just about to crack 80k miles too. __________________  | | | | | 03-24-2009, 05:52 PM | #15 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: manchester england Posts: 48 |
