Hello,
I have been researching replacing my 95 mustang with a bmw and found the following ti for aprox 4k.
Mileage 216,556
Exterior Color White
Interior Color Grey
Transmission 5 Speed Manual
From what I have seen the car is in really good shape body and interior wise. I have yet to test drive the car. What do y'all think?

tg | completely depends on how it was maintained. what options does it have? i'd look at all the bushings you can before buying. replacing rear subframe bushings will cost you a good deal of labor unless you do the work yourself (fun fun!). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

i would say that's a little steep for so many miles...refer to the price thread
for example, i just got my ti last week and paid about $6500 and it only has 32k miles | | | | | 11-17-2005, 03:11 AM | #4 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

Thanks for the feed back folks. I read the thread above before posting. The car seemed to be priced about right from what I saw in the thread and what I saw in autotrader. The fellow from MA really got a sweet deal on that low milage ti with the price he paid. If I can get the car for less and repower it, it would cost less than some of the examples I am seeing in the autotrader.

Yeah that is way too high. I bought my 96' ti with 115000 on it and had been owned by the master mechanic at the local dealership for 4k. I wouldnt pay half that for that for that car, and I would never buy a white car ever. | | | | | 01-06-2006, 04:39 PM | #8 | | Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: The Burgh Posts: 56 |

I mean it has been the color of some of BMWs most famous race cars. | | | | | 01-07-2006, 02:44 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |
Mabye its just a Iowa thing but all crappy cars around here are white, so I dont see many white bimmers, but the ones I have seen Im not crazy about. | | | | |
