Our ti met with slippery conditions and a concrete barrier the other day. It looks like a loss, but we will decide soon. If we don't repair it we will probably keep it to keep some parts, then selling the rest off. I will post if we are going to part it out. Very sad, it was a kick A$$ little car. Fortunately, my son, who was driving, has no injury, except his sweet ti will probably not return to the street. 2020 strikes in the last week. | | | 01-02-2021, 01:52 AM | #2 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT!

You should be ready for spring if you keep at it. | | | 01-02-2021, 07:57 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2018 Location: Austin, TX Posts: 28 | Sad to hear. I had one of these incidents myself in 2019, when my S52 '98 Cali top was totaled. I ended up transplanting the S52 powertrain into the '96 that I'm driving now. Glad that your son is well, and hope you're back in a ti, soon! | | | 01-05-2021, 03:46 AM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2013 Location: NJ Posts: 27 | Wow I’m glad your son is ok. This made me think of how I lost my first BMW, a very used 325ix I had bought with summer money when I was in college. I absolutely loved that car. I was on winter break, hit a patch of oil from an accident in the snow, I slid 35mph straight down a grass hill into a concrete wall and totaled it. The was year 2001. Wasn’t exactly the best year either! I hope you track down another ti, we have to keep these things going! __________________ Past: '90 325xi, '88 325is, ‘97 318ti, '06 325ix, '11 328ix, ‘13 X5 Present '91 325ic, ‘97 318ti, ‘99 M3 | | | | 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 | | | |
