Well as most of you have probably already seen it.. Tessa is no longer with me and has gone to a good home. My girlfriend saw how devistated I was when Tessa left and we had a long talk and .... we are going to hopefully be purchasing another Ti in November-December for our Xmas-Bday present to me  so there is a future with me to have another Ti and it will be another build. As for now, I have already purchased a new car for myself, I do work and move stuff and need to sometimes thrown in my camera equipment in my car and needed something bigger. NO I AM NOT HAVING A KID!! I just picked up iT not a Ti  I am still going to be on the forum helping anyone out that has any questions, my uncle is still on here and I will be here as promised. 2000 BMW 323iT (Ti just backwards letters) Sports suspension Cold weather package harmon and kardon sound system Needs some TLC, but if you all know the tessa build... its already underway Already added LED interior All red tail lights LED plate lights **Clear corners on the way! ** On to the pics!     More to come and if this gets closed since its not a Ti.. at least its a iT -Bryan __________________ V2 in progress.

Bryan, very nice! I like! I have your car's big brother, an E39 540it. While my ti is named "Tiny", my it is named "Beast".  Does your it have a name yet? Are you planning to refurb the seats? I repaired mine in the Beast which looked way better than when they were worn.  __________________

I'll post some before and after shots of my it's drivers seat. Mine were worse from wear than your pic looks. My ti drivers seat was in bad shape as well. Before shot of my it driver's bolster:  During repair:  Before shot of my 97 ti driver's bolster:  During repair:   After shot of my 97 ti driver's bolster:  I was able to repair both drivers seats where they didn't look so bad. I'll get a picture of Beast's finished seat when Wifey comes back with her. __________________

His restoration included resoftening the leather, a process I did not do. I have seen his finished black seats in person and they look great! __________________

Nice Bryan! I almost bought a rare packaged iT here but the rusted out rockers and ....well....rust all over the damn thing, was my reason for not making the move. Best looking wagons out there IME. __________________  | | | | | 02-05-2013, 05:37 AM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 |
