Default New/First time Ti owner!!!

Glad to have signed up and be a 318ti owner. I picked up a mint boston green 96 Ti with 133k on the clock and 2 owners. I got the car in ontario but it was brought up from AZ which means the car is rust-free and a big reason why i wanted it. I'm a e30 guy and have owned 4 e30s with my last one being a 340whp m30 powered 5lug'd e30 that ended up getting t- boned I originally searched for another e30 but all were rusty and decided to try looking for something else..I was going to get a regular e36 but they were heavy..I googled the curb weight of the TI and was blown away on how light they are so i started looking at them. The more i looked the more i started to really like how they look especially with the full m-sport bumpers/mirrors etc. and the fact that A LOT of people hate on ti's so I'm building this one to prove them wrong...anyway here are the pics from the FS ad. haven't taken any yet.

It already has the front m-bumper and skirts so all i'll need is the rear bumper/mirrors to finish it off

I'm pretty excited, Just scored the rear m-technic bumper for next to nothing, it's in mint shape just need to be painted

I forgot to mention the plans for the car....I have e36 m3 brakes from my e30, gonna re-use my ground control coilovers from my e30 and I already bought a m52 that needs a headgasket for next to nothing, going to rebuild with turbo pistons/rods and try to get 550-600whp boosted. I want to finish it all on time for H20i in Ocean City, MD next year but we'll see. also, do the M-coupe trailing arms bolt-up?

That is the plan.

Can't wait!
