Default I just joined the TI Club!

Hey There!

exciting first post for me!
I've been reseaching used Bimmers for 2 months, I finally decided that i want The 318ti over the other e36 models ranging from 316 - 325.

I've shopped around for the past 3 weeks for a nice TI and i finally went out and bought one today! YAY!

97 model, Silver with matching side skirts and bumpers. clear indicators (front), sunroof, alloys and only 67K!

i'm so happy that my wife allowed me (after much begging) to double our car budget so i could afford a quality car instead of a cheap 'girly' runaround. (i mean, comon, what can you possibly get for £1000 these days?)

the Dealer is currently preparing it and will be ready to drive home this coming tuesday! i can't wait!!! the countdown begins!!

will let you know how it turns out when i bring my new baby home

Default It's a Boy!!!

My little baby has just been delivered and i've brought him home!

I love this car already! it's awsome!
i was soooo excited when i was on the way to the 'hospital' (dealer).

My wife is also happy with the car, and almost as excited as i was. (maybe coz i can drive her to do her shopping now).

Our first stop was to do our grocery shopping. coming back to my car in the parking lot, it looked awsome from a distance!

it's pretty much stock, but it still looks good. mind you, it's no where near as good looking as some of the other Ti's on the forum, but in terms of cars i've owned in the past, this one is one good looking car!

i'll take some pics of it tomorrow.


talk about 'the ultimate driving experience'! i just experienced it today, and it truely is the ultimate! yeahhhhh!!!!
