Introduction! 318ti in New Hampshire
 
Hey there,

Now this is not only my first 318ti but also my first BMW. I am very pleased with the quality and handling of the car. This is such a fun little package. RWD, DOHC 4 cylinder hatchback. I am a man in love. I bought this after I had to get rid of my 1997 VW Golf 2.0. This new car is just a new level of fun. Mine has the M-Tech body kit and a very clean body. Looking to do some small mods like struts/springs and an tuned exhaust. Also looking around for some lightweight wheels. Since this is my first BMW I may have some questions. I appreciate the ad everyone!

Here are a few pictures of the car.

welcome.... what's the mileage and how much if you don't mind me asking? Jealous you have one as i'm in still on the hunt for one as clean and nice as yours. Are you on stock suspension because your 318ti has the perfect amount of rake at that height!

when i do get mine i most likely will go with H&R springs which lowers the car 1.4" front and 1.0" rear and i'm hoping it stays raked.

145,000 miles. I've been trying to put all of that information in my profile on this site but I've been having some trouble getting everything to cooperate. I ran a Carfax on the car and it was purchased first in Massachusetts and stayed there its entire life except for 2 years where it was driven out to California. To my knowledge the suspension is stock, or possibly the wrong springs in the rear due to the height! But I am going down the same road as you, grabbing a set of H&R springs once I get a few other things sorted on the car.

And to answer your first question. I paid $3000 for the car.

I think the white and silver ti's are the best looking of them all. Yours sure is beautiful.

That car is a former members car. Guy put a decent amount of parts to bring it back up to speed, he had planned to it in GRM challenge.

Still a nice looking car.

my goodness your car is one clean jellybean. Awesome price. I wouldn't have guessed that mileage. Congrats brother.

Thanks for the love everyone. I was also very impressed with the condition of the interior of the car. This was just taken after I threw some Armor-All and a vacuum at it.

Looks great! Have fun in the snow up there. I have a brother in Concord, and he said there is plenty of it up there.

Over 100 inches of snow so far this winter :biggrin:

Welcome and congrats on a beautiful example of the ti. Makes me want a white one. I just can't believe you guys have had over 100" of snow! I heard it snowed everyday for like a month in some parts. Have fun with the car!

Any chance you remember the username on here of that previous member?

I can ask a buddy and maybe able to relay it to you. One moment.
