Default Finally found a nice 318ti.

How's it going guys? I've been searching for a nice e36 for quite a while now, and I've finally picked one up locally. It doesn't look the nicest, but it handles and runs like a dream.

I'll definitely put up pics as soon as I get a chance.


Scroll down for pictures!

Hahah I've noticed. I didn't really know until after I picked mine up. I can see why though.

I wish it was purple, but I'm pretty happy with Boston Green.

Thanks man! I'm in OKC. I got my ti from Tulsa though! Hah
You may have seen it on Craigslist.

Just washed the car 15 mins ago..Tons of little scratches everywhere but I will be trying out some Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 soon enough.
I still have a lot of stupid decal residue to remove...Such a PITA!

I really like how it looks without the decals. Hah
Now I just have to go buy some Scratch X..

I'm in the process of saving up to buy some Dj Auto headlights with thinlines and a 55w 6k hid kit. With some new clear corners. hah


I also want new black moldings...Sides AND bumpers. Anyone know where I can find any? I'm planning on buying a M3 bumper eventually so I'm okay there..But how about rear moldings?

Hahah I didn't even notice that. :P
I have to use tape since he cracked the corner light and the headlight has broken tabs.. But I'll get the new headlights soon enough!

It took me around 6 hours total to remove the decals..
But 6 hours well spent. haha
