what model is mine? Active, Club, Base???

[cfraser]

Its a 95 alaska blue, leather interior (w/steering wheel and shifter), 15" 10spoke wheels, 10 speaker audio, no heated seats. I just bought it and am having the hardest time finding it's edition (active, club, etc). Any help would be great!

Thanks, Clint

A Sport would have 16" wheels and M-technic trim.
Base would normally have steel wheels.
A 95 Club Sport would be Black or Red with M3 mirrors.

Do you have cruise and computer?
Then I would guess it is an active.

[cfraser]

Yes I do have cruise control and the computer unit! The lower body trim is also gray, along with the lower portion of the bumper. So is it an active?

Thanks,

Clint

Yep. It's an active.

Thanks for the info! I just saw the front sway bar tonight while working on it, whew! It keeps getting better. The only problem is that this thing sits as high as a 4X4. I have never owned a stock ride height car and don't intend to break that commitment. Any suggestions on springs? Thanks again! Clint

[1996 328ti]

No suggestions but please ask in the suspension section. ;)

Ooh, ooh, me next!

I can't figure out what model mine is either...I've pretty much concluded that it's a base with a few options....

1995 Schwartz Ti:
-sport seats (non-heated)
-fog lights
-15" 10-spoke wheels
-4 (?) speaker stereo w/trunk changer

Doesn't have:
-OBC
-Cruise Control
-M-tech anything

Thanks,

Fraser

Most likely a Sport.
I did not know that the 95 Sport had fog lights.

Hi,

I'm a noob, trying to buy a 318ti...

I've posted elsewhere on this site asking what this car is, so I'll just link to it here - I'm guessing that's the right thing to do...

Hi,

Mine is definitely an Active except for the sunroof, wich I do not have. Was it a separate option?

Sport.

ok...I have a question...
I know that there's base, sport, clubsport, and active...
Is there a California package (separate from the other ones mentioned), or was the cali roof just an option?
I know that it was an option, but I was wondering if there was a package...
Recently I've been thinking about that top haha...
(Hopefully this hasn't been discussed before and sorry for hijacking if it is...)

-RandyThere was a California Edition, 96 or 97. By 98 it was available as an option.
