Default Ti no more. 325is!

Sold my ti to a friend at school a few months ago. Then found this beautiful hell rot 325is. Its a 93 with only 76000 miles on her, 5-speed. No upgrades except for Ansa sport exhaust, which sounds awesome! She has barely any scratches at all. She shines beautifully. Shes alot more powerful than the ti too which is nice Never really had time to take some photos till now.

Looks nice! Are you one of the fortunate ones to have the stock LSD? I like that a previous owner update the basketweaves and painted the spoiler/bumpers and skirts already. Looks just like a 328is with those wheels.

As long as the ti stays with a fellow BMW enthusiast, then it's alright
Anyways, it's not like he's on the east coast, where there isn't as many ti members. We need to find more ti's and get them on here and we need an east coast meet damnit!

I saw this one '95/'96 ti getting on the Merritt Parkway Exit 34 (Rte 15) and she was hhhaawwtttt, too bad I was going to dunkin donuts and not hopping on the parkway..

What are your impressions on how it drives compared to the ti? More refined? More solid/secure feeling? I've driven E46s (and loved them), but never a normal E36.

Yeah it feels alot more secure in a way, but at the same time with more power i get nervous sometimes, because i have no traction control. When my girl friend got in it she noticed that it felt different, she asked me if this car was heavier.
I still havent really done much spirited driving, im still gettin used to it. But its really fun to drive.

See he was an east coast member before your ti. It's all good.

Yeah there is a bunch of ti members up here in MA but they like to hide. Having a NE regional meet would be great if we can organzie one for NY, NJ, CT, MA, NH, RI, ME, VT! Give it a try and get the ball rolling...

I'm going to be busy from Aug 11 to Sept 4 I have Student Leader Training from like 8 AM to 8 PM... sucks balls. I have my eyes set on BavAuto's October meet. The show & shine I believe it was called. Maybe I can get there early and enter my car, get some cheap business cards and print off 318ti.org all over em and get the word out and stick em on every ti I see! Who knows.

Why not come to the BMWCCA September 9, 2007 official meet at Kimball farm too? Both events are worthwhile to check out. Maybe if members are interested we can set up one at Foxwood or Mohegan Sun for central location for a regional meet.

Let's try to get another one locally in MA this year. We had one last year so let's see.

BTW I would've made an extra effort to flag down that HOT female ti driver if I was there.
