A Sport doesn't add anything other than cosmetics, suspension and fog lights. I'm willing to be all non sunroofs where ordered by customers and not a dealer. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 02-11-2014, 11:01 PM | #17 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: Louisiana Posts: 27 | Eddie, be on the lookout for someone who wants something different that will differentiate them from the pack. Someone who might otherwise want a customized Mini or Fiat 500. Or, someone who once owned a ti and misses it like crazy. There are fewer and fewer ti's on the road each day, and so our favorite car is going to be more of a rarity, especially in mint or near-mint condition. Don't be in a hurry to sell unless you truly need the money quickly. I know of at least two very nice stock ti's that have sold for $10K within the past year. Maybe 318ti.org is not the best place to look for a buyer. | | | 02-14-2014, 02:07 AM | #18 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | Sun roof delete and the LSD make it a pretty rare bird. | | | 02-15-2014, 07:19 PM | #19 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Great Falls, VA USA Posts: 11 | Thank You!

Decided I am now going to keep it. The car is just too good to let go. Bang for the buck it can't be beat. | | | 02-15-2014, 07:21 PM | #20 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Great Falls, VA USA Posts: 11 | Thank you!

Bang for the buck it can't be beat. | Just noticed you also have the mudflaps, I have looked for those for a while and can't find them, so thats another good things. Honestly, with the DASC, basic suspension, a shorter shift, and just maintenance you got yourself a good fun little car. Don't get caught on the power bug though because you will come back with a hole in your wallet and never fully satisfied, enjoy driving it on some twisties and it will make you smile. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!
