From what I've seen, people either love the Ti or they hate it. Some even love to hate it as if it makes them feel better about themselves for some reason. Although I never really warmed up to the e46 and newer models, including the Ti's, they kinda grow on you. Especially knowing that my 10 year old Ti is starting to show it's age with the usual symptoms of a higher mileage vehicle. It's kind of like at the beginning of the semester, when you look around your classes and check out the girls. You always have atleast one first pick and a few secondary choices. And then there's the one girl who sits in front of you everyday in Philosophy that's borderline F'able. As the semester progresses, you start to notice little things about her that make her more attractive. Before you know it she's hot, but hasn't changed since the first time you sat behind her in class and asked for her empty Sobe bottle to spit your chew in. The hot chick that you thought was the superbiscuit at the beginning of the semester turns out to be a slut and after you dump her, the Philosophy chick with the nice ears and ankles gives you her number and invites you over for some freakyness. Strange analogy, I know, but that's how I feel about the newer Bimmers. Lol. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 07-07-2007, 12:16 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Va Posts: 256 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 . . .sat behind her in class and asked for her empty Sobe bottle to spit in. . .invites you over for some freakyness. . .with the nice ears and ankles. | Veeeeeeeery niiiiiiiiice. JK. I know what you mean. I miss that chic too. Nape of the neck always got me. Pheromones were probably part of the story too. . . Re: new BMers. It's simple. They're fat. NFC! No Fat Cars!

I use to dislike the E46 style, but now I wish there were an E36/E46 Hybrid look, because now I love both the E46 and E36 styles. Guess I can't have both right? __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .

Especially because I watched Clueless for the first time tonight. I think the E46 is amazingly beautiful, and the E90s look great too. They are fat though, but it's ok. As long as the new 1 series makes up for it... small cars are the way to go and with Gov't regulations requiring ridiculous safety requirements for regular manufacturing (Lotus is not even exempt anymore), the weight of vehicles has nowhere to go but up. Look at the new MX-5's weight... way higher than the original 2000 lbs. | | | 07-07-2007, 05:30 AM | #7 | Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Arab, AL Posts: 42 | nice story jes!! IMHO bmw quit making attractive cars at the end of the e46 run. there best cars range from the release of e21's-e46. early 80's to mid 00's after that, all there cars resemble their japanese competitors...:dunno | | | 07-07-2007, 05:36 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: la jolla, ca Posts: 222 | Quote: Originally Posted by Mothman | Far from new...they quit making the E46 compact in `04.

You could load it up like a normal E46 with nav, smg (only 325ti), m-tech etc. or go for a diesel and so on. __________________ Present: `99 M coupe Past: `91 330is; `95 318ti Active; `93 325is; `97 318ti Sport; `89 332is | | | 07-09-2007, 09:45 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Southern California Posts: 420 | Quote: Originally Posted by windnsea00 While I didn't like the front end, the rest was great (especially the interior and plethora of engine choices). | I agree the front looks like a want-to-be Jag. __________________ "Success is Never Final, Defeat is Never Permanent, it is the Courage to Continue that Matters!" - Winston Churchill Mothman [SIGPIC] | | | 07-10-2007, 01:56 AM | #10 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Quote: Originally Posted by Mothman | All i have to say is FUGLY.... __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 07-10-2007, 02:04 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 | I still want one if I had the money I would import one, right hand drive for added est alga! | | | 07-10-2007, 02:06 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 | It's not THAT bad.. the headlights need some help, but other than that it doesn't look bad. __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .
