Hello!
Just picked up this 98 Ti 5spd after getting my 02 325iT dialed for the winter.
The Ti:

Plans: Track car. Starting from the bottom of the car up, eventually ending with a fully gutted (aiming for 2400lbs curb weight after swap), caged, 5.0/T5 powered Ti with monster brakes and about 350whp. It's got 200k miles. We gotta start by stiffening this little car up almost 10fold what it is currently.
And my loyal daily:

Plans: Drive it to at least 500k miles. No lie. Car is a 2 owner, 120k mile dreamboat. Previous owners serviced every 10k miles without fail at a BMW dealer here in my home town. It'll probably stay bone stock, but say for instance if I find a ZHP or vert E46 salvage car while picking parts for the Ti, I might do some upgraded suspension/brakes.
I'll have a build thread going pretty soon.
Glad to be here.
