I'm pretty sure it's just the base model as the seats are cloth and not heated. It does have a sunroof though.

Purchased last week, my new toy is a '94 built 1.8 manual with just 2 owners and travelled 145km. It has the 10 spoke 15inch alloys, no factory alarm or air con (bit disappointed about that... but it's lighter too I guess!). I have a set of 17's comming for it next week and have replaced the shock absorbers with 4 new Monroe GT's. It's a great car that puts a smile on my face every time I use it and it was cheap to buy. Couldn't ask for more for the money really! On a personal side.. 49 years young last week with 2 school aged boys and a perfect wife (just in case she reads this...) I have been involved in motorsport since a kid, a banker by trade I quit and became a sales manager for Mercedes, Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, dabbled in importing Porsche, Audi, BMW. Have driven Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bently, Lotus. Very lucky aye! I had the privlidge of lots of track time in new Mercedes/Porsche and Chrysler in particular. At the time it was the fun part of my job. The last 4 years or so I have been engineering, making horse transporters, mobile coffee/fastfood, small motorhomes.... That's me in summary. Looking forward to getting the Ti onto a track for a bit of light fun of course... The new wheels were from a E36 M3 and are wearing 235/40/17's so on the Ti, they look pretty good Last edited by 2spicey; 10-31-2016 at 07:38 AM.

What do you plan on doing with it keeping the color? | | | 12-15-2016, 01:39 PM | #295 | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2016 Location: Greece Posts: 3 | Well , i will try to restore whatever i can to its original state and functionality. I will replace all the burned lightbulbs and troubleshoot the trunk light , then repair the obc diplay , i believe is an easy fix (the rubbery thingy thats attached to the lcd might be damaged either from heat or is out of position). Right after that i will have to take out the instruments because i have a bad connection on the light behind the temprature indicator. In the engine well i have oily spark plug tops and im have some annoying drops of oil on my parking floor... Then the roof linen on the cabin is held by pins so i might try to fix it..and thats it! The color is still in good shape actualy!! But if it wasnt i would probably go for plastic wrapping.. | | | 12-15-2016, 10:10 PM | #296 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | 1998 Base model, moreagrun, automatic, although I have replaced more base model parts with Sport model stuff than I care to think about. M3 twisty rocker panels will be the final touch. | | | 12-28-2016, 02:29 AM | #297 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2016 Location: palm harbor Posts: 27 | Not too much work at all. Are you trying to re line the cabin lol or just figure out a better way to hold it up. I just got my Ti reupholstered I'm loving it. | | | 12-30-2016, 01:49 AM | #298 | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2016 Location: Santa Clara, CA Posts: 2 | I just joined today, though I've visited this site many times over the years... So, I have a 1998 318ti, Active package in Boston Green. I'm the original owner. Lately I've been thinking about getting a new BMW and have been considering an i3. But in the end I love my car so I'm getting some of the annoying things fixed on it. That and I'm not able to convince my hubby that a i3 is a good "investment" (quotes because cars are not investments IMO unless you're buying a collector level car...). Anyways, I've kept up on the maintenance and while I've had some major repairs on the whole my ti has been a very reliable and fun car to drive. It fits like a glove too Cheers, --jan | | | 01-19-2017, 06:00 PM | #299 | Member Join Date: Mar 2016 Location: Iowa City Posts: 58 | My first bmw Hi, I bought a 96' 318ti M Sport last year in March. I love the car so much. It is Alpine white with a 5 speed manual tranny. I plan to do a engine swap later this year with it. It has been a very solid car for me and I love it so much. I got it for a good price at 500. It came with halos and bi Exxon projectors which are extremely bright. | | | 01-20-2017, 06:56 AM | #300 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: California Posts: 23 | I think my silver '97 is an Active (sunroof, cruise, no fog lights, 5-speed, ASC, leather seats and wheel). I'm the second owner, have had it since 2004, now a bit over 150k miles. This replaced a 750il and think I came out with the better car. It's stock except for the xenon low beams. This daily commuter will be back on the road as soon as I replace the Bowden cable that opens the heater box. Have the part, taking the dash apart this weekend. It's a perfect city car, not the most comfortable on long drives but fun on twisty back roads.
