That could be yours for the low low price of only $44,759.00  | The price is why I got an M Roadster instead, she is a beauty though!!!! I might sell my 2 tis.........NOT!!!! May be the MINI but not the tis!!! Hope the price drops!!!!! Steve, just dig into the 401k and get it!

I wonder if we can get them for the ti. | when i saw the seats in pics, i wondered the same thing! if i don't get other seats, i'll certainly look at used 135 seats in the future. imagine they'll be expensive for a good while. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

I just got back from the dealer and wow. The 135 does look a lot better in person than pictures. And when you get a ride in it | | | | | 04-04-2008, 02:37 AM | #23 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Seattle, WA Posts: 402 |
I loooove mine. I picked it up 10 days ago, and I already lowered it that inch that Steven was saying that it needed. I love my 'ti, but this car is really fun to drive. Break in is tortuous. I'm not doing too well. __________________ 1997 332ti - Don't even ask.

When I bought my 98 ti I remember the break in period. Just go on long trips taking the back road. I'm hoping I can do a ED in Sept. That will be our 20th wedding anniversary.

| Hmm Steven still got the itch for a 135i.  GO FOR IT!! It goes with the territory for being the so called cheapest/lowest/intro BMW model. Well at least in the minds of the other bimmer owners. Wait til they get their butts kicked by one of those 135i then there will be some respect. Congrats again larryn. Make us proud in auto-x with the new 135i. | | | | | 04-04-2008, 05:22 PM | #26 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

Some go over the 1addicts just to cause punctuate the feeling.  We're all in this together though, right? I got my Schroth harnesses in this morning, and my track wheels just barely fit the car with no rubbing. The thing looks NASCAR-ish with those meaties on it.  I'm all set for some fun in a few weeks.
