1996 Silver 318 ti

[nusstroy]

soooo
my friends older sister has the 1996 Silver manual fully loaded (like EVERYTHING)
its got a small dink on the passenger side and theres something wrong with some oxygen/carbon monoxide level reader on the exaust, but other than that, its a manual, clutch is in great shape (replaced a couple years back) and it has 113,000 miles on it. Shes offering it to me for $2500.00.

Yall think its good?
help me decide!

dude, i asked some people on another forum, and they were telling me how bad the 318ti 96 model is...
for some reason they dont like it....

[Variance]

What all did they say about it? I've had my 97 for a year or so and love it.

[andyman7931]

I'd buy it for that price...

See the thing is you don't go on another BMW forum and ask about the ti. No matter what the forum is they don't give the ti any credit. This is the only forum you should go onto and ask about the ti. We all respect the ti here and will not bad mouth it. For example,are you a member on bimmerforums.com? If not register and ask something about the ti and you'll understand what i'm saying. I mean look at this on bf.c they have a section for all the bmw models except the ti,this is the ti section on there--- http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53267&page=56

It's 56 pages long and started back in 2002.

great price, jump on that right away. i'd want way more for mine and it has 212k on it, some dents from a brush with a deer and other stuff to be straightened out.

[bikern8]

If that is the true condition I would go for it!!

[madfronter]

Jump on that ish. Thats a good deal.

[IndianaTravis]

that's a sport package car. buy it! it is worth at least twice that.

[flex_318]

I would buy it for that price.

[SDKmann]

If you dont buy it tell me and I will. For that price I would run there to buy it and the only time I run is to the dinner table.

[HuGo]

are you a retard? I dont mean it in a bad way but seriously, are you a retard? Think about it, its a BMW!! first, ight, second, its a BMW that cost 2,500. Now, would you rather have a BMW for 25 or a honda for 4k? Lets put it this way, i got my ti for 7,200 with taxes and paper work(they wanted 9,200 without taxes and paperwork) Now, when i was shopping i wanted a GSR. Same price, if not the GSR costed more. Now, i went with the ti, i get much more respect and ppl are more like, damn foo u drive a bimmer. As of right now, im driving my dads GSR (he bought one) and no one gives a flying f*ck. Why? cuz everyone has integras. So now with that said, THEY ARE SELLING IT TO YOU FOR 2,500 JACKAS$!!!! BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

[SDKmann]

Dont listen to him, you dont want to buy it. What you really want to do is pass up this great deal and let me jump on it.

[HuGo]

[nusstroy]

rofl
you guys are ****ign hilarious, and no, im jumpin on that **** like i'd jump on an open legged jessica alba

so ITS MINE BITCHES

[nusstroy]

just one last question... they dont really have trouble going up hills do they?

[cali-ti]

not that i've ever noticed. why would they? maybe an auto, but i've certainly never noticed with the 5-speed.

[adidas]

my auto went just fine up hills

[HuGo]

kk
you win
im buying it haha

good choice. About the uphills, i go through a big up hill almost everyday, i just keep it in second and ull be fine.

[nusstroy]

now all i need are some cheeaaap upgrades....
any suggestions?

[cali-ti]

what do you consider "cheeaaap"?

[HuGo]

now all i need are some cheeaaap upgrades....

exhaust and intake?

[nusstroy]

im looking for something too boost horses, know what im saying....?
maybe i add some heated eats or something too

[pdxmotorhead]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nothing on a BMW is "Cheap" except fogging the air box.....

[nusstroy]

were not talkin "jew" cheap (no offense im jewish). were talking affordable, something quick and easy, or somethings...

[cali-ti]

i agree with pdx ... no cheap way to do it on the m42/m44 engines. fogging the airbox is pretty cheap and will give you a bit. intake and exhaust won't net you much and could cost a good bit.

btw, the heated seat retrofit kits are sold out ... worldwide.

how much money do you have to spend?

[nusstroy]

im pushin a little of 7 k right now

[cali-ti]

so ... $2500 for the car, sounds like you'll likely have some maintenance bits (O2 sensor, fluid changes, filter changes, blah blah blah) ... you could likely get a DASC (Downing Atlanta SuperCharger) with what you have left :)

Yeah, better not get it then. This site has a filter then replaces your swearing with *'s. Your posts would make more sense if you used words that don't get filtered out (don't swear).

currently the best supercharger kit available for the 318ti. SEAM (in colorado springs) is working on a kit, but it's not completed yet and midnight autoworks has an eaton kit yet, but i wouldn't recommend anyone chance their business practices at this point.

my bad, i noticed, i just didnt care
i wont do it anymore

[nusstroy]

ok, so heres a question... aparently on this 318 ti, the clutch engages really high...
is that normal on most ti's or is it abnormal (meaning clutch is somewhat bad?)
