How does this look?

Will be my first ti. Seems like the price might be a lil high, but the car looks clean. Hold off or worth looking at?

Seems like an OK deal to me since the mileage is fairly low. The car looks real nice. Are you sure you want an automatic? This appears to me to be the active package, I would hold out for a sport.

i'd say it's worth looking at. when you go, talk about how you were really looking for one with a manual trans to try to get them down on the price (and hopefully because you really DO want one with a manual trans :tongue"). looks pretty decent. not a sport model either so that should get a little lower price.

Normally, yes, I would want a manual trans. But this will be my daily driver, and here in the city, an auto is just so much easier to deal with. I know, sad, right? :)

Does that look like oil on the valve cover? Also, how do I tell if a ti is base, Active or Sport?

Thanks!

Does that look like oil on the valve cover? Also, how do I tell if a ti is base, Active or Sport?Probably an Active since it has alloy wheels and cruise control. My guess it also has the on board computer. If it doesn't have an on board computer it is a base with cruise and alloy wheels as options.

Never heard of Car Spectrum though. If you are really interested I'd suggest posting something on our local BMW board which covers Northern VA. http://www.nccbmwcca.org/forum

Thanks for the tip! I have decided I am going to hold out for a ti. Hopefully I can find a good one soon :)
