Default Finally a ti owner!

OK, I have wanted a ti for a very long time, even come close to buying one a few times but it never happened. That all changed this weekend when I picked up my 98 avus 318ti. It happens to have a 95 M3 engine as well!

The car is not perfect and I have a lot of plans for it. I am happy to finally fit in!

That sure would help put out some of the 88 brush fires!

Thanks, a shop did it but it has some issues to clear up.

Has a bilstein BTS kit with 5k miles on it I will be removing. Also still has the stock 3:46 diff... open diff. ...boo... The front brakes are just the E36 325 units, they too are leaving the car.

Congrat on the new ti! Kind of bias being an owner but I like those wheels too. Why all the demodding? What is your plan for their replacements?

Time to change the sig pic. Show off the new Avus blue ti.
