If you love the car and would prefer to keep it, hold out for that "offer you can't refuse." Hopefully you'll get enough money to buy another 318ti to fix up. :-) __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

For that money you can find another ti with less miles and probably a rare '99 model. Think about it..... 9,500 plus a few thousand dollarscan get you a "decent" 96-97 M3.

Sales were dropping so they did import many of the models. Still sideairbags, TC/ASC, M44B19 ODB II are enough to keep me away from the 99 Sports, as well as most 96-99 Ti/BMWs in general. The 200 Club Sports are rare. the 150 94 M techs are rare The M3 LTW are rare For 10K you can get a e30 M3. | | | 07-02-2006, 07:14 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 | Quote: Originally Posted by Panzer_M a 99 isn't rare...it's just the final US year for the car.

I love obd1 and have all the scan tools. I love how easy they are to tune and my 95 m3 ate every m3 i found except for the e-46's. Still if i found the right deal i would take it. I am usually more into uniqueness than what the general consensus has to say. I love the car but miss my m3. i'm not gonna rush so i will keep u guys posted. Thanks. MOre comments from clubsport owners is greatly appreciated. __________________ SPEED IS NOT AN EQUATION CONSISTING OF DISTANCE DIVIDED BY TIME.
