SF Bay Area Spotted
 
I saw a red, possibly CS ti with DS2's and rear deck spoiler yesterday going down Big Ranch Road in Napa. I had driven my ti that day but was in my work truck at the time. I thought it was an M3 because of the mirrors, when I turned I saw it was a ti though.

Also, there is another red active, probably a '95 I see at around 8am going up the Trail. And a black ti that I've seen parked at a store off the Trail a few times.

Anybody here? Or do I need to try and chase them down and tell them to join if I see them again?

wolferj-RIP 06-03-2009 09:36 PM

Chase them down!

There are very few active members here in the north bay area currently... I actually haven't met any other members besides Yoda, who doesn't live in this region, but is in the central valley...

Kilijan 06-04-2009 01:35 AM

Add a Boston Green 95 Active going up 29 to St. Helena today.

wolferj-RIP 06-12-2009 11:41 PM

Spotted a silver Sport ti (97-99), going down the lower deck of the Bay Bridge today a little after Noon...

Kilijan 06-14-2009 01:43 AM

I saw the red M Sport again. Same spot around the same time on Friday. I just have to figure out where it is going now.

wolferj-RIP 06-15-2009 06:15 AM

Well I spotted a Hellrot ti with a cali roof (active package, i believe) today on 880 north on my way back from Oakland Airport...

wolferj-RIP 06-15-2011 02:52 AM

Spotted Nineball12 (Freddie) today on my way home from work on 680;

He's running an S50 swap with coilovers and BBS rims...

cooljess76 06-15-2011 03:12 AM

his wheels might be out of balance.

Cell phone pic at 65mph caused just a little visual distortion... That back wheel looks very strange... lol

tiFreak 06-15-2011 05:32 AM

asymmetrical rims are the latest stance fad

Coyoteh 02-11-2012 11:05 AM

Black 318ti Sport heading south on 101 near San Rafael around 5pm. License plate frame said "BMW of Honolulu". I wasn't in my ti at the time unfortunately.

saw a blue or green ti on pagemill in palo alto at the embarcadero intersection at about 6pm today. turned left on to embarcadero and kind of looked at my car. i wasn't really paying close attention though :shakefis:

aznlonewolf135 03-18-2012 11:26 PM

I do over night deliveries from Fremont to Salinas...every once in a while south bound on high way 17 through Scotts Valley I see a black 318ti with an m3 badge on it around 11pm-2am...each time I try to keep up in my 93 toyota paseo...ONCE i got next to him turned my lights on and waved but he gave me a suuper weird look and left me in the dust...

a few months later on my way home one night I ran out of gas on highway 1 between state park and park ave...

I go for a quick jog to a gas station with an empty sea foam bottle and see the car!!

Lol, he probably thinks you're some kind of weirdo. "Why's this guy in a Toyota Paseo always waving at me?":tongue:

I used to have a Mini Cooper and would wave at other Mini drivers. They usually waved back.

Of course, I forgot one time that I was driving my wife's Honda CR-V and started waving at a guy in a Mini at a stoplight. Took me a while to figure out why he ignored me and didn't wave back....

Anyone interested in a 'ti get-together in Fremont sometime? I'm near 880/Mission Blvd. There's a great Indian restaraunt near me, or I know a great burger place in Santa Clara.

A meetup would be awesome, I'm pretty new to ti's and wouldn't mind meeting some other owners.

Let's get something set up. I'll check and see what my schedule looks like. The 31st would probably work out best for me. How about St. John's Bar and Grill? It's located at 510 Lawrence Expwy, Sunnyvale, CA. They're open for lunch on Saturday and have great burgers and a huge selection of beers. Anyone else up for that?

Uber E30 03-20-2012 11:36 PM

If you guys want to bring the Ti's to an e30 meet that would be cool. Mine wouldn't feel so lonely and its already an established thing with other chill BMW guys. Ti's are half e30 anyways :)

jggonzalez 03-24-2012 04:57 PM

I wouldn't mind going to an E30 meet. I like all Beamers! Where and when is the next one?

I don't have anything planned for the 31st. Anyone up for St. John's Bar and Grill, March 31st, at 11:30? Here's a link to their website http://www.stjohnsgrill.com/ with location info and a menu.

jggonzalez 03-29-2012 02:36 PM

White 318ti Active heading south on Union City Boulevard just past 92 on 3/28/12 at about 5:40pm (not too sure about the time). I think I've seen the same car at the DMV in Foster City and the Barnes and Noble in San Jose. Anyone know who it is?

Coyoteh 04-17-2012 12:34 AM

Black ti with what looked like E46 M3 wheels, at the intersection of Guerneville Rd and Laguna Rd west of Santa Rosa around 4pm today. I waved and you waved back. Nice looking ti you have! I was in the red one :)

jggonzalez 04-22-2012 03:51 AM

Blue Ti in Fremont?
 
I saw a blue 318ti earlier today in Fremont. I had just exited off 880 and was heading east on Mission Blvd, approaching the Warm Springs intersection. The blue 318ti was heading south through the Warm Springs/Mission intersection. The time was around 1800 hours. Anyone know who it was?

Coyoteh 05-04-2012 03:04 AM

Green 318ti near Graton around 5:30pm today. Pretty sure it was a sport, I saw the M front bumper but didn't get a good look at the rest of the car. It was beautiful though, very clean looking ti! I wasn't in mine unfortunately.

Coyoteh 05-08-2012 03:09 AM

Silver ti, possible an Active, parked in downtown Graton around 5pm today. Looked to be in very well-kept shape!

Coyoteh 05-25-2012 01:13 AM

Around 4:45 today, the same (I think?) silver Active and green Sport ti's were parked next to each other in Graton. The green one had LTW wheels. What a stunningly beautiful example of a ti that one was! I ran home to drop off my groceries and came back within 5 minutes but the green one was gone. I was hoping to grab a photo of the three of us together. Completely random impromptu 318ti meet haha!

Please tell me you guys are members here!

Coyoteh 03-01-2013 03:10 AM

Green 318ti Sport following me through Graton around 5:30 tonight, same one again I think? Such a beautiful car, I must know who it is!

Coyoteh 03-11-2013 01:21 AM

White 97 or 98 in front of Cost Plus in Santa Rosa around 3:15 today. Grabbed a quick cell phone shot of our cars together and left a note about 318ti.org!

Coyoteh 03-31-2013 02:30 AM

Finally met the green ti. Saw him pull behind me a ways back, I then pulled over and so did he. We chatted for about 10 minutes, really cool guy! Glad we got to meet! I love the ti community.

Very cool to meet up with another ti owner like that!

Now get him to join the forum!

I told him! He said he's checked it out before, hopefully he'll join up this time! Really cool guy to meet.

Mr.Squeelerz 03-31-2013 04:48 AM

The hellrot looks great!

Coyoteh 05-12-2013 05:03 AM

Hahaha...For a second I thought you were speaking about me. Maybe still? Anyway, The pictured one was not me.

Perhaps I'll see you around SR.

On another note does anyone know a good place to get parts for their Ti's in NorCal?

Coyoteh 08-05-2013 01:17 AM

Hellrot ti on Guerneville Rd west of Santa Rosa at 4:30 this afternoon. Possibly a sport model, but did have a regular rear bumper. Looked nice, first hellrot I've seen in the area other than mine.

Coyoteh 08-24-2013 04:57 AM

Black sport model in Occidental this evening. Appeared to be stock. I parked next to you and left a note for 318ti.org!
