They were "Keepin it Real" when they introduced the 318ti ClubSport in '95 and the 318ti Sports from '96 to '99.

I swear, I ripped the door panels off my Subaru to replace the speakers, I was not gentle at all yet I only broke the trim piece that goes around the door handle on one door, do the same thing on a BMW and break half the clips, then cry when you discover that BMW doesn't just sell the individual clips, you have to buy a completely new door panel | | | 03-22-2009, 03:42 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 | liquid nails is your friend | | | 03-22-2009, 03:45 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 | actually, bmw is forced to use crappy plastic, just like all other german cars because their forced to use recycled plastic, thats why we get our radiators from behr, they make radiators for bmw of africa, and use virgin plastic instead of recycled, so they last longer __________________ ^being rebuilt^ until then: daily car: 96' Blue DASC'd ti with koni coilovers slowly progressing... weekend car: 85 1/2' 944 Porsche no a/c, p/s, gutted cat, loud as hell exhaust, loud as hell sound system | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
