I just thought people might like to share why it is they love there TI.
I have only had mine for one week but everytime i get into it, its like saying hi to a old friend......sounds kinda lame but its just how i feel about my car. |  |  | | 09-28-2005, 12:56 AM | #2 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |
I like it cause it's fun to drive,looks really nice and not that many people have em. I don't like having a car that 1million other people drive,the ti is unique,i'll leave it as that. Plus i've had mine almost 5yrs,drive it year round in new england.
I like when people stare at your car and are like what the hell is that. From the front it looks like any other e36,then you see it from the side and ur amazed. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

The e36 with mtech fittings is a classic BMW shape.

Rear Wheeled Drive (most cars here are front wheeled  ) Handles like on rails. Power & Fuel Economy Decent size boot and being a hatch back Looks and drives like a bad boy However it's not all good I really don't like the following:- Ugly dull dull dull Interior. Uncomfortable seats (they may adjust in a million positions, but I just can't find one that is overly comfortable). It's a BMW - has a bad sales rep driving image. | | | | | 09-28-2005, 03:32 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Hinsdale, IL. Posts: 181 |
I sort of backed into owning a ti following the sale of my 2000 528i Sport - financial demands =  Now that I've driven it for 6 months and 8000 miles, I really like it. Gets great MPG, unique, still gets thumbs up, lots of reasonbly priced upgrade parts available, and the support of this webiste. | | | | | 09-28-2005, 06:49 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
