Hi,
New user here
I just bought a 100,000 mile '97 318ti automatic mainly b/c I needed a decent looking car that gets good mileage. I already dumped the stock steel wheels with the lame hubcaps (BASE Model I guess?) & am ready to rip out the stock sound system. It has no alarm either and no cruise (can that be added?)

Other issues:
Driver's window is off track. Makes it a little tough at the drive-in.
Car is too fast? for a 4-cyl (How can I tell if it had a mod chip) & mileage is low - about 25 mpg. It hits 100mph & still accelerating hard up a long steep hill another 4cyl only hits 80. Also it failed Smog & had to get a new catalytic.

Other than that it's a sweet little car & gets the looks.

Nice site, it'll take days to go thru all the info!
