JUST GOT ONE, 96-318TI!

[cday318TI]

Hi,
I will begin by saying that this site actually helped me make my decision on purchasing my 318ti, I found so much helpful information, plus I was just blown away at the fact that this site even exist.

I came across the 318ti by pure chance, lucky opportunity that presented itself at an awesome price. So, I got a 96', silver and black interior, great condition, M3-kit, 18" wheels, just needs a little exterior and interior work, not too bad.

But, I must confess, I'm hooked. Now, I can't wait to post some pics to share with you, before and after pics. I start my work on it little by little this weekend. There may be a few things I will need some advice on, so I hope to meet some of you.

I will be posting some more later this weekend, so for now, see ya...:smile:

Congrats.
Silver look good with clear corners. ;)

[cday318TI]

Clear corners?

[1996 328ti]

Clear corners?Turn signals.

[cday318TI]

Gottcha.

Yeah, looks nice.

By the way, I just followed your link on another post for fixing window problems, the guy I bought it from says it's the regulator, so I'm going to remove pannel and check it out. Your link to understeer is great. So, thanks again.

Congrats on the 318ti! Great fun car to drive and own. You better save some $$ for mods if you hang around this site.:eek:

[cday318TI]

Thanks for the tip Bobbak, headlights were upgraded, it came with halo and fog, look nice. I'll be posting some pics this weekend, I'm not too familiar with brands, but will be catching up, and I'm pretty sure I will be making some mods, it can get pretty addicting, specially checking out some of the rides in this site, so thanks for the warning Stealthbimmer.

Hi,

I finally took some pictures this weekend to post here.
As the exterior goes I need to fix a few things, front spoiler (fix crack and paint), but I need to start with the interior. Mainly the door panels, previous owner messed them up pretty bad. They tried to remove and snapped all the pins from the panel, I have to glue back, plus I'm having troulble with the locking of the driver side door, won't go down (pushing or through center console button), and the window doesn't go down, I was told by previous owner it was the window regulator, gotta check it.

If anyone has any advice on any of things mentioned above, I would greatly appreciate it.

What glue should I use for the door panel pins?

How to fix crack on front spoiler and where can I get black molding?

Any suggestions on how to fix window regulator?

[Bobbak]

very nice i like the rims :)

[cday318TI]

Thanks, 18"s.

You got a good ti for start. Look around the for sale section or your local salvage yards. The molding can be off other E36 bumpers. Lastly you can buy them from the BMW dealerships.

Thanks, gonna check some local spots this weekend. E36 are all BMW 3 series from 1996 or Ti's only? I'm not familiar with the reference.
