Thumbs up New To The BMW Community

My name's Nick, I'm located in Southern California; Woodland Hills to be exact. I'm an active member in the Subaru community and have helped organized some of the largest STi/WRX meets in SoCal. The next one will be for XGames 2009 Rally (August 2) where we are expecting 100+ STi's and Evo's.

I purchased a 1995 318ti this morning to be a daily driver and track beast. It will eventually be close to stripped and semi to fully caged along with a new/bigger engine...as funds allow. The ti was owned by a chick for about 8 years who babied the car... according to her she has never reved past 5k. As the pictures will show the car has been kept in pretty good overall shape.

I am in the OEM wheel business and also a photographer for fun... So expect some exceptional pictures from me in the future and possibly a variety of wheel changes from me.

Attached are some very quick shots of the car: Not my usual photography

Can anyone tell me the name of the color? And I had the thread somewhere, but can someone identify the package? It has cruise control (thanks in advanced)

Here is a picture of my friend's STi (06 of 11) with a 40th anniversary Camaro SS.


I shoot with a Nikon D90 & Nikkor 18-200mm lens.

I edit photos using one or more of the following:
-Adobe Photoshop CS3
-Photomatix Pro 3
-Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.3

Welcome, post up some pics of your Subie! Nice ti you have there, 95 is a great year to get for swaps since it is OBDI, drop the S50 (95 M3 engine) in there and have a blast.
