Ordered new in 1998 sport package, manual, sunrof delete, solid (non-metallic) paint. Received about 1.5 months after placing order... Metallic paint was a $400.00 up-charge (originally was going to get Boston Green Metallic). 'M' light blue not available; Dakar Yellow not available. went with the bright red...

$23,300.00 ($500 over east coast invoice for a sport without sunroof). West coast invoice was slightly higher due to shipping costs.

mmmmmm ok so the M package is the lower suspencion, sway bars, wider wheels/tires, rims, trim/bumpers fog lights, steering wheel (3 spoke), shift knob, perhaps the trim of the seats stitching,leather,etc.? hope i'm not mistaken, so what's the california package? i have the original window sticker of my ti and it says cali roof, so what's the "package".

Purchased in May 2005 with 94K for $4000. Bone stock base w/auto trans. This has to be the most basic transportation there is - does not even have a CD player but it runs like a snot down a 4 year old's face and I can (and do) leave the keys it 24/7 without a worry.

Welcome. Where you at in Chicago? I'm out Hinsdale way. Not many of these around our area. Check out The Werk Shop, Lake Bluff, IL. when you need something done for a reasonable price. Tell Don that Mark sent you.

1995 Hellrot Active
$12000 in 2001 with 54k miles.
OBC, sunroof, all the other stuff that comes with an active (15" alloys, etc)
Probably worth about a grand now with the hail damage. But 135k miles and never looked back. Blew diff at 110k miles and replaced with 3.73 lsd. Great car. Would definately buy again.

The ad.
1997 BMW 318ti in good condition. Original owner, 104K miles. Metallic blue with tan leather interior. 5-speed manual. New radio. Sunroof. Garaged for all but one year. Engine runs perfectly, great gas mileage.
Includes 4 additional snow tires.

The bad:
Small crack in windshield, airbag light lit.

Picking it up in 1 week. $5100



The airbag issue is a sensor under the passenger seat. This is what I was told by the owner as he was told by a mech. Any thoughts? Not to hijack so please PM with any info.

Thanks
This will be my first BMW experience.

If anybody can figure out how to post the file without having to download it (viewed in browser) that'd be radtastic.

There's some missing data, and it would be easier for people to check it that way.


EDIT: see first post.
