Hello everyone,
My name is Josh and this is my baby. I've recently graduated from the chiropractic college and have been thinking about a more "practical" car.
Then my friend came over with a cali top 318ti, oh boy lol.
The 2002 was bought new in California by a woman. She was actually a renown Professor at the University in Berkeley. Eventually it was sold to Joseph the owner of Munich Motorworks.
No corners have been cut on this car, and quite a bit of money has been spent.
I know I'll never get another early model with all of these hard to find ( near unobtainable) parts. It's hard to find any webasto top 2002's let alone one for sale with the rare color.
What do you 318ti-er's think? Should I keep it, or will I be happy in a Ti?
(The car i'm looking at is a 96 m tech 318ti in alpine white)
