My dad and I have been arguing about this so he finally emailed them and they wrote back the answer is "TI"= Touring Injected. Believe it or not thats what it is. ps: That may be true of that model but the TI on the 318 is Touring Injected I used to think it was international and I want to win the arguement but when the factory says different I agree with the factory. __________________ "Driving to slow, THAT'S TI ABUSE"!!!!

I thought it was "touring injected" too, but the 318ti is an exception and everyone here says that it is "touring internationale" __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport.

That would be a 2002 tii. You are reading it wrong. When ti is used it is touring international, the same as what ti means in 2002 ti. I will speak to folks from Mobile Traditions. iT would be injected touring, not the other way around. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 09-23-2005, 06:25 AM | #15 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 2 | OOHHOOO!!!
