They were "Keepin it Real" when they introduced the 318ti ClubSport in '95 and the 318ti Sports from '96 to '99. After that... well nothing else really matters. ~Jess | | | | 02-28-2009, 04:24 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Miami Posts: 244 | not sure why its like that...i guess the way the installed the hood... | | | 02-28-2009, 04:30 AM | #5 | Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Elm Grove Farm, NC Posts: 32 | $$$$$$$ ? | | | 02-28-2009, 04:45 AM | #6 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Looks like it has an OBD1 conversion by the looks of the older style vanos unit and M50 intake manifold. This would be a no no for states that do emissions related inspections. | | | 02-28-2009, 07:10 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 | new york has pretty strict emissions rules... not sure how he's getting around like that __________________ 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0t track | 2000 Dakota Former 1995 318ti owner | | | 02-28-2009, 09:32 AM | #8 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Looking closer at that pic, it's not the vanos, it has a whole s50 valve cover, possibly head, so it definitely has either an OBD1 conversion or it's an s50 engine or even worse, an m50 with an s50 valve cover. | | | 03-01-2009, 05:57 PM | #9 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | :shifty ????? haha Jess, anyone willing to go inspect the car in NY | | | 03-02-2009, 06:12 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: TX Posts: 140 | Quote: Originally Posted by tiFreak what happened to the hood? | That's a common problem with fitting large replacement hoods -- especially those made from carbon fiber or fiberglass.

Was it part of the bimmerforums group buy? __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | 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 | | | |
