dont know enough about ti's yet to comprehend a lot of the claims seller is making, but that car looks HOT...

what would you offer for it?

[teetime4one]

that car is sick.
give him the 15K and drive in style.

[elchicano]

That car looks sweet but if you do decide to get it look up as much info as you can about it.

[318tifan]

don't know much about the dasc system....
how stable is it?
i'm not really looking for crazy hp...
much rather the purchase by reliable...

[thesk8nmidget]

worth every penny and yes it is someones on here
his name is inlacal and he has quite the collection of beautiful cars and rare parts!

[96cali]

Inlacal= good guy, rare cars, seems like deep pockets, premium product = premium prices.

It's funny, that thing has been on ebay for at least a couple of months now... how does the price keep going UP? I could have sworn the BIN was $12K a while back...

I dunno. Nice looking car, lots of rare options... but for that price you could buy an M3.

[thesk8nmidget]

i agree you could get a nice m3 but there are people (like me) that dont like m3's and for that price you dont get a rare mint m3 you get a normal old everyone has it m3.

for this you get a super well kept ti with very rare options and a few tastful mods that arent cheap.

i think the car is worth that or maybe a little less.

nah 15k can get you a fine m3....
and nah...this car IS NOT worth 15K! ...maybe 14,5000...

[thesk8nmidget]

my bad it was worded wrong what i meant is get an m3 that has these kind of rare options. and in such good shape and these sort of mods.

you can get clean m3's all day for 10

That car has been for sale on ebay for at least 3 months now. Sweet ride none the less. Maybe he will want to part it out soon since there has been no sales. prolly wont happen but its nice to think it might.

This car even with it's add-ons is no way worth 15K. Has 145K mi. on it. I don't care how nice it is. Does not have M rockers either. My '95 has 148K with every M option except spoiler w/ '95 M3 17" powdercoated wheels, Michelin Pilot Sports, professionally dark tinted lenses all the way around, 325 calipers and vented rotors up front, beautiful original jet black paint, and would never even dream of getting any where near 9K for it if I would sell. You could put a DASC on it, have a better car, and sill save 3-4K over the price of this one. 35mpg hwy/25mpg city? Must be dreaming or drives like a granny. Sure these are great cars, but figure, you are going to start putting some money in it when you get to 200K. Like others said, for that price you could get a really nice M3 with less miles. M3 vs. ti, a no brainer, no matter how rare you think these cars are.

i would love to see some interior pictures of your car.

there are a few things about this car that puts it above and beyond most the sports on this site.
the most noticable the being the hurricane interior, motorsport belts, dasc, hartage exhaust and the m tech carbon door sills. thats just to name a few. if you look through his gallery you will see this car is in pristine shape and was babied its whole life.
and all those things do add up. is the price steep for a non swapped ti sure. but will he get what he is asking for i believe so it will just take the time for the right enthusist to see it
i would trade my red millpoint for that interior in a heart beat!

I love this car, but seriously I am not sure about the price.

It can have very rare parts, it can have an amazing look to it, but in the end the mileage is high. Lets not forget mileage isn't just engine, it is the rigidity of the chassis and every single part on the car as well.

Also, sorry to break this out to some people but our cars are just eco hatchback Bmw's that were put together by BMW to be able to make an affordable Bmw, they are not collectors items or etc...

When you mod a car, you will not get back what you paid for, and I always say, if you get back 1/3rd of it you should be very happy.

I hope the seller gets what he is asking for though.

[thesk8nmidget]

give it some time and those seats will be worth a ton. bmw has quite the amount or hard to find partsd that they made a limited supply of then down the road people THRIVE to find them and will pay quite the large amount if they can.

for example e30's and some of the parts for them. you try and find evo seats or an evo sport m3 is pristine condition and you will get more than what you paid for it.

value with rare parts comes with time.

if he held on to this for 5 more yars or even 20 i have no doubt that price would be ok for what he has.
