Picked up my 98 today!!

[Storz]

I love this car already! I am really impressed with how solid it feels for being nine years old, handling is really crisp and the engine is rev happy and very smooth. do have a couple questions, when I first start the car there is a digital (green/red) bar underneath the ODO ...what is it? Also where is a good place to get replacement hatch struts?

What size sway bars came on this car stock? It has the 'active package' This is also somewhat of a rare car I guess because it has the sunroof delete option...kinda cool.

The guy I bought it from was the 2nd owner and he has had the car since 2000, and babied it ever since. No winters, very rarely in the rain etc. He had purchased a short ram intake for the car but never installed it (he gave it to me)...are they worth it? In my experience they are just expensive noise makers on most cars.

Anyways enough rambling, enjoy the pictures!

Awesome!!

Red/Green lights = oil change intervals, the more greens, the more time you have

Hatch struts: search this forum... someone found some good cheap alternatives for the BMW OEM ones that are better.

Ironic, I just picked up my 98 ti today also :) Except in Black, with Grey Int and it's Auto, and it's been sitting outside in winters... *doh* and i have some issues with it already, woops

But looks like you've got a pretty sweet ti, welcome!
