Found a nice hellrot ti near us, a '96 with 106,000 miles... claimed to be a CS, but unfortunately just found out that the CS was never introduced in '96. Well, anyway it's Hellrot / black, the interior is black cloth seat center with what i'm guessing is leatherette bolsters/etc. This car was supposedly a BMP Designs show car and the front seats(which when BMP owned the car where replaced with 'red seats') are in very good condition, and said to have only been used while he has owned the car(from 80k>
. Also, one thing I thought was kind of strange for a BMP car, was it had the rear seats taken out(so they're also in perfect shape, and said to almost never been used) for a large audio system that BMP had in there for show purposes.
Anyway, the car seems to be very sound, after driving and going over it with a fine tooth comb, have only found 1 real flaw that really bothers me at all...this is a very small area of rust bubbles on the right rear 1/4 panel, right on the wheel well. This would be an area that would immediately be fixed...but wondered what you guys thought of, the car has obviously been in some weather elements.
The paint on the other hand is extremely glossy, so the rust was quite a surprise...the car has supposedly been garaged, but was overall very impressed with the depth and glossiness of the paint for a 100k mile hellrot.
I'm trying to figure out at this point if it has LSD, and if it has the beefier sway bars like the ClubSports have. The fact that it's not a CS came as a disapointment...but wouldn't be as much of one if it did have some of these types of equipment like the CS.
So, if some of you guys wouldn't mind throwing in some of your opinions and $.02, that'd be especially appreciated as there seems to be more knowledge of ti's here than bf.c/roadfly or any other bmw internet forum for that matter.
