saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-weet!  be nice to find a sport since you get the m-tech body pieces, otherwise i don't think the spring/suspension mods are not something you couldn't accomplish quite easily with aftermarket pieces. buying and getting body pieces shot to match your current paint would be tougher. my friend keeps telling me not to even bother getting my dents (not too bad) removed because you'll never do better than the original factory paint. with 210k on it, i guess i'm in no rush to try to make it look like a show car anyway.  __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

So I'm still looking... and trying to not invest too much in the Honda to keep it running. heh heh | | | | | 07-12-2005, 09:40 PM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |

Well I'm probably looking for a non-sport-enthusiast but mega-fun-enthusiast which is what I was when I bought her in '02. Enthusiasts here and on bf.c tend to be perf oriented and the cali roof is not really performance unless you argue it's some form kind of forced induction. I have slowly upgraded her, but you are correct in waiting if you have sport on the brain. Currently '96 California Edition has a small ailment in the way of a broken rear spring which gives me a good excuse to install the Koni's, OEM sport springs and sways I have in the basement. Wish I had more time to tinker. All my tinkering goes into the house and fatherhood which is what you get when you're 36! The short of it is a 1996 Cali package, red, stick, 65k, mild appearance upgrades to gray cloth interior, new RE750 tires on 16" OEM sport wheels, upgraded rotors, soon to have sport suspension, snow tires, and some extra stuff. I keep thinking I should sell but find it hard to part with! __________________

Yeah, I saw that one and have already e-mailed the seller... thanks! I thought I saw it here also, but maybe I'm wrong. He's willing to keep the wheelset and the high-end audio stuff to get the price down a bit, but it's still a bit out of my range... for now. I really don't want to, but maybe I'll just have to do some financing. [sigh] | | | | | 07-14-2005, 06:33 AM | #23 | | Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Port St. Lucie, FL Posts: 52 | for sale
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=369066 I still have mine available. I'm in the process of changing the clutch. Someone in Daytona Beach is going to come test drive when install is complete. This car will be 100% mechanically sound once clutch is changed. The one reason I'm selling is to open a gelateria in port st. lucie, FL. The other reason is I don't drive it and ride my motorcycle all the time and have a truck for the times it rains. I wouldn't be selling if I didn't have to, a damn fine car I must say. | | | | | 07-17-2005, 09:45 PM | #24 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: little rock Posts: 24 | 96 ti for sale [maybe . . .]
I'm considering selling my 96ti. Silver, 5 speed, 55K miles, sunroof, cloth interior, tinted windows, alloy wheels, keyless entry, alarm. Has new tires, belts, front brakes. No mods to speak of. I'm in Little Rock, so not too terribly far as these things go. My email is drhughes@hotmail.com if you want more details or a pic. | | | | | 07-18-2005, 10:45 PM | #25 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |
cvacc411 and drhughes... both of your cars look NICE... and pretty much meed my specs, with one exception: the color. I guess I'm picky... I really want black, but will settle for blue. Please keep me posted on your sales though! __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

I'm selling my 98 ti, and I think I can hit MOST of your requests: all original (no mods), 5-spoke rims, sunroof, 5 speed, 3 hours from Nashville, 6-CD changer, fog lamps. It has the active package, with a number of the Sport package features as added options (fogs, rims, etc.). I'm the second owner and bought it in 2000 as Certified Pre-owned from a dealer in Texas. I have all service records. However it's Boston Green (cooler in the summer than black, and easier to keep clean!)

I am selling my red 96' 318ti w/California top (w/slipstreem upgrade), 5 speed, black cloth interior, Kenwood mp3/cd player & XM satellite receiver, 149K miles and 16" wheels for $5000.00.
The overall shape of the car's exterior is good and looks good waxed, but could use paint if you are a perfectionist. The interior is good-very good shape with everything functional. I will be puting a new cat on it (as soon as I can find a Magnaflow) since it is displaying a code and I live in a state that requires emissions inspections. Other than that, it is a great car for $5000.00. | | | | | 07-27-2005, 01:45 AM | #29 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
