Default New Ti Owner

Hello 318ti.org! I am a new Ti owner. Not at all new to BMWs though. Proud clownshoe owner, as well as an e86 coupe. I am a long member of bimmerforums and contribute there regularly, as well as am a lighting retrofitter and have designed several options for the z3 community in respect to lighting and retrofits. Anyway, Picked up a 96 M sport car. I saved it from certain death in a yard under a tree. It has a long way to go, but I will post updates and utilize the wealth of knowledge you all possess about the chassis. Thanks!

I need to pull the tag, but I'm fairly confident its a 168mm 3:45 LSD.

From the vin decode the car was a press release car... Not sure who it went to, or why, but that is one of the options on the vin.
