speechless.. the interior of the car makes me want to go outside and tear it apart.. not so much the carbon fiber but the seats, steering wheel and those gorgeous red seat belts.. not that big on that exterior color but the gloss on the moldings is dope! (adds to sig).. the yellow m caliper looks nice too..

overall.. mos def the cleanest ti i have seen.

[FNEG]

well that certainly raised the bar of bad ass ti's

[roadrash]

Favorite detail: SMOKED corners. Not those damn "crystal clear" ones that get used most of the time.

On the fence about the painted moldings. I like them, and they do make the car look glossier overall, but I think they'll get dinged up pretty easily and will eventually look like crap.

Not a fan of the yellow brake calipers. I think cooljess's look better. They don't suck, I'm just not a fan of the yellow, especially on that car.

But, yeah... beautiful car!!

[cooljess76]

Dang it! I was gonna do my car in Granite silver metalic. Black wheels too At least now I know what it'll look like

Don't rain on my parade please.. Jk.. The painted moldings bring out the gray.. They flow well with the wheels and kidneys!!! I won't paint mine yellow but they pop...

Jess when can we get an update on the 332???

Hey guys, thanks for your great comments about my car.

BMW_Hatchback asked me to join this board, because he like´s my ti

@roadrash: Please don´t worry about the gloss, the time that the ti is driven in all days duty is over. I just drive with it to BMW meetings, our weekly legal streetmeetings in Nuremberg or sometimes enjoy cruising around at perfect wether

The yellow brake calipers are not final. I think they fit with the black rims, but I´m still not 100% happy with this color and still looking for a better fitting color (not red, every kid here in Germany paint it´s calipers red )

[wolferj-RIP]

Stephan;

beautiful car, very nice! Those seats, did you have them custom made with the red stitching or is that something available for the European market?

I vote Daytona Violet for the calipers... (just a little biased... )

And welcome to the forum!

[stefan323ti]

The seats are custom made.

I saw the red belts on a ti at the bmw-syndikat board here in Germany and so I wanted to have these belts too

A female friend told me that it would look cool if the stitches are the same color as the belts. And the result shows that she was right

Thats the reason why I try to keep the main three colors gray, black und red.

GEIL!

Seriously beautiful ti, I think it may be the first 323ti I've seen with an engine swap..! Jealous!

[airborneSGT]

Wow perfect! Puts my Ti to shame.
