The cool thing is that I can choose any size up to 18". Great prize! I won't be needing tires for another 6 months, but the voucher is good for a year. Maybe I'll get the new set right before the next bimmerfest.

I did go party for a little bit but you are right, it was crappy driving on State St.

Hey Chris, don't feel bad. You can still look at pictures from the bimmerfest. Here is a good link.

Enjoy it!

Diego,

Nice Toyo's are really awesome so I am told. My friend runs the T1-S and is really happy with them, I think they are comprable if not better then a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s. I think that that RA-1 is a racing tire so the traction would be incredible they just would not last that long. Don't know anything about the 4 so no help there.

I use T1-S for the summer and RA1s on the track. Don't know what the 4 is. I'd go with the T1-S. I love 'em.

Chad - Steve:

Thanks for the feedback on the tires. The T1-S looks the nicest. Those are the ones I like the most.


Here is picture of our ti representation at the Santa Barbara Bimmerfest. Way to go Chad!

Hi all. This year was my 4th year attending bimmerfest, and boy was it fun. I drove up as co-pilot in my dads E34 M5 and while I was there, I met up with a guy and bought a 1995 Alpine white 318ti. I really like the car, it being my first BMW and all. My other car, a 2001 Passat wagon 1.8t chipped is about 3 times faster than the ti, but going from FF to FR is a whole new experience. Although I bought the ti' modded, I have so many plans for it. I'll have pictures up of it later, but if anyone noticed I was the only white ti' there. I'm not sure who I talked with who had the SC'd blue ti', but if you're out there I just want to say whats up. Overall I saw about 3 ti's at the show, more than I expected. Hopefully next year I'll know more of you and be able to meet up and chat. Thanks - T

Congratulations with your new ti. I think I have a picture of yours as well. If I have it I'll post it. By the way my ti is Alpine White as well. Check out my photo gallery under Mendi3.

I can't remember but I'll look for it. If you participated in the rally, most likely I got a picture of your car. I'll do some digging.

That was me. I talk to a lot of people that day so remind me of your name.

I was the guy who first asked if it was yours, then complimented you on it, then told you how I was picking up my own ti' that day, then asked about the supercharger. I never gave you my name I think, but it's Tristan.
