Just Bought a 318ti today!

[ShaneS_009]

I just bought a 1997 318ti today! I have been looking at these forrums for a while before I bought the car. I am in love with it. Its Silver, automatic, and has 98,000 miles. Just bought it for $4,300. I was wondering how do these cars drive in the snow? Probably way different than my Bronco.....

Congrats and welcome.

As for snow ability, it depends on what tires are on it. I've driven mine in Minnesota for many years and it's a non-issue with proper winter tires.

Yeah I am really excited! I figured if you drived the car right it would be alright.
I love it so far.

Welcome to the site.

Mine was terrible in snow until I got some tires that are good in snow.

[ShaneS_009]

Yeah there are afew things I cant figure out.
-How do you turn on the Brights?
-How do you turn on the Rear Windshield wiper?
-Do the windows always fog up really easy?
-Can I just get a spare key made at walmart?

Just a few I came up with in the few hours I have had it....

High Beams: Push the left stalk forward. Flash; pull the left stalk back.

Rear Wiper: Push the right stalk forward. Hold it for a few seconds to spray

Fog: ?

Key: You must get it at the dealer as there's a special security chip in it.

welcome, before you ask (because I know this will confuse you just as it's confused all of us) to turn the rear wiper OFF, just press the stalk forward one more time, it will make one more swipe (which can fool you into thinking it's still on) then it will stop

Welcome! I just bought a 318ti in the Columbus, OH area about a month ago. This site has been very helpful for me in my first few weeks of owning a bimmer. Also check out ohiobimmers.com to get in touch with other bmw enthusiasts in the area.

To turn the rear wiper off properly, tap the stalk three times. Never worked with two taps in all three of my tis. Welcome and buy some snow tires.
