First Time Owner 98 318Ti Whats going on 318ti.org, my name is Nick, I am a proud new owner of a 98 318Ti, Traded a turbo Talon AWD for it and love it. I am new to bimmer'z so I will be browsing a lot and asking questions. Here is some info on the car 1998 318Ti 5-speed 178k on Body - 78k on motor H&R Lowering Springs w/ Bilstien Shocks BBC 17" wheels w/ Z Rated Tires (smooth ride) Its got a higher ratio rear end unless 75mph at 4200rpms is normal =-? Silver w/ Black Leather Few Issue's 1) Do 318Ti's come factory with a keyless entry system or alarm? (got 1 key only) 2) Hearing a noise while driving from back of car. Its something from the rearend/wheel bearings/or brakes. Any common issue's with the rear drivetrain? 3)I desperately need a wiring diagram for the stereo wires as the thief who took the stereo proceeded to cut the harness off. =( Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks for the space and time 318ti.org!!! |

welcome, those RPMs are normal for a 5-speed, ti's could really use a 6th gear unfortunately ti's didn't come with alarms from the factory, they just had the wiring installed, the dealer installed the alarms, if you have a red LED next to your cigarette lighter and a siren looking thing behind your right headlight you've got an alarm |
Welcome to Ti. I am new here myself. Just picked up a 97 less than a month ago. Sharp looking ride and it looks dropped. What suspension do you have? |
H&R Springs w/ Bilstien Shocks |
Welcome!! Great another artic silver 318ti? i have one too!!:wink: what tires do you have and size? i like 17"s on the ti.. That red ball on your antenna its for what??!!:biggrin: |
Those pics were the one's the previous owner sent me. That was thrown off an overpass in Central California!!!! =) Tires are 205/40/17 |
thats why you have a big gap in the front..!!:eek: i would use 205/45/17 in your size..or drop more the front!!:wink: |
Love the wheels BBS RC's if i remember correcty. Looks to be a good clean Ti. |
I think you'd like 225-45-17 better. |
