Default (UPDATED w/ pics) Just joined, saying hello

My name's Tony Schulz, and I'm new to the board and BMW's in general. I rescued a beat up '96 318ti essentially for the cost of repairing it. It's under 130k mi but is rough, burgundy, with black leather, active package, and is wearing E46 7 spoke wheels.

I live in Atlanta, mid 30's, contractor with IBM, and am pretty active in motorsports. I also have a '95 240SX + crashed race car, and an old VW Fox.

To start off, if anybody has some spare wheels/tires near ATL, let me know.

Thanks,
Tony

welcome, I notice you say it's "burgundy", is the paint name "Cordobarot Metallic" by any chance? I'm sick of being one of the few people with a cordoba ti

Default This site rocks!!!!!!

I have a 1996 318TI Silver (Active), I've had it for about 6 years now, has 212k miles on it. Nice car and drives great, I wish I can do most of the work on it.

I remember when they were first introduce in 1995, I did not like them, I was into Golf GTI back in the UK, when I moved to the states back in 2002 I went car shopping and wanted a BMW, one of the dealers had this car on the lot and after a test drive I fell in love with it.

I came across this site some few years ago and signed up, but not an active member, I also live in Atlanta by Mall of GA. I saw one of the members had put the first M3 (MK I) body panel on the TI and it look cool, that's what I want to do to mine, do any body know how he did that and if there is a body kit you can buy or how to achieve that look?

I went to the dealers to find out how much those panels are, they are about $500 each, a cheaper option will be nice.

Thanks

Robert

You don't like your E46 wheels on that? I think it looks kinda neat. Welcome to your new home .
