New guy on the lookout for a ti

[oldtin]

My wife decided she wants a ti to save a little gas (she has a lifted jeep that gets about 10 mpg with a tail wind) - so I'm on the lookout for a 95 sport or club sport (if I understand it correctly - m42, obd I, seats, cosmetics, lsd, springs and sway bars?). I've had 3 E10s and an E28 (pg 84 of grassroots motorsports march 2011 - grm $2010 challenge), but no BMWs newer than the 80s. I'm in Illinois, but will travel pretty much anywhere in the cont. US for condition.

the 95 sport model didn't come with the cosmetic stuff, only the club sport and later sport model did

good luck with your search

If you want a 95. Try to find a clubsport

Why a 95?

[oldtin]

m42, obd I, lsd, bummed I missed a local club sport by 2 weeks.

i have a 95 clubsport. its got a lot of miles but i have done a lot of work to it and its now a very sound car. i need a truck or a jeep would definetly work, i also could throw some cash on top for something nicer.. i have an extra lsd with the car as well..

Hopefully the deal with jbaloh works out for you. You've picked the rarest of a rare car to want. Depending what sources you reference there were only somewhere between 275 and 325 clubsports produced. Good luck with the search.

I'm hoping it works out too. Whatever I come up with has to pass Mrs. Oldtin's aesthetics test. I'm on a project ban right now - but I do have some interesting trade fodder - 1963 triumph TR4, 1972 mgb gt (with ford 5 liter), 2002 triumph daytona 955, kawasaki 250 ninja cafe bike, 1985 porsche 911 targa or a 2005 jeep wrangler

Me, too. Obviously I'm new here. I own a 2009 e92 335xi, but my wife drives it more than I do (except for weekends), and I want ~my~ own ~light~ DD car that I can put a cage in and have fun with at the track. I've been told only the Clubsports have a LSD. I need to do some searching in this forum and research this awesome car. Springs aren't as important to me, I'll probably try to find some coilovers for the car.

the Clubsport and 95 sport model both came with LSDs, but it could also be ordered as an option on any 95 or early 96 ti

Good to know. Thank you.

I am in the process of researching to sell a 97 318ti for sale. I think it is the sports package. 3 door blue exterior, gray interior. very good body condition. I live in SC

Still on the hunt, but have a couple of possibilities I'm working.
