These guys get more ti's in for sale than anyone else in the nation as far as I can tell. They also advertise on Autotrader. Why 99 ti's did not all come with cruise control, I will never know.

Having bought a pile of garbage with my last one made me gun shy. | | | 11-29-2012, 04:54 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2011 Location: Lighthouse Point, FL Posts: 124 | Saw this one first hand... I saw this one first hand-it came off a lot in Miami some time ago. Real mileage, ran well but had been whacked in the left rear side and the fix was sub-par. Look at the rear wheel well-maybe it's been rectified by now, depending on ES's interest. It got eBay'ed and shipped up to NC. Yes, ES has some ti's but I had a friend who lives up there go look at some of the others for me when I was shopping for a second. He said "pass on them". I bought locally and just finished it. | | | 11-29-2012, 05:45 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | Quote: Originally Posted by lutze I'd honestly dump my E46 to get back in a ti, but this is more than I want to spend.

I have never driven an e-46, but I would imagine that a ti is more responsive to the driver. They are really 1.9 Z-3's on a little longer wheel base. I read somewhere that they weigh about the same. | | | 11-30-2012, 09:07 PM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2012 Location: SE MI Posts: 11 | Quote: Originally Posted by jca I cruise ti listings just for fun.

BMW doesn't sell the retrofit kits anymore, so I went the salvage part route with the exception of the wiring harness which I bought new from BMW for about $100 I did as much of the installation as I could then took the rest to my indie BMW guy. Long story short, my total cost was about 1k. I'll bet you can do yours for cheaper than that.

I assumed I could just find a cruise car in the junkyard and transfer the moduler, harness, and controls over, then make it work on the S52 throttle mody. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | 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 | | | |
