Hey guys,
Im planning on picking up a to in the near future. I would prefer to purchase off of someone from the forums. Anyways a little about me, since I was young I've been into the to. Just never liked the fact that it was so slow I suppose but now I'm in gas saving mode so I figured I would purchase one. |  |  | | 08-24-2012, 04:50 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |

Speed is only one facet of total performance- when set up correctly, these cars will out handle any other E36 model, M3 included. Welcome to the forum- hope you find the right car soon!  | | | | | 08-24-2012, 07:06 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 |

Lol you guys are all from true norcal. I'm located in san Jose. Thanks for the warm welcomes!
My name is Andy for those who were curious. I can't believe I forgot to post that in the op. Is the DASC the only carb legal SC around other then DINAN? | | | | | 08-24-2012, 04:02 PM | #8 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2012 Location: california Posts: 8 |
Thanks for the warm welcome!
I still need to sell my 05 legacy ft before I can pick up my ti and its not looking good. The market for these little monsters are quite high. I did however miss out on one that was failing smog for 1250 just last week. | | | | | 08-24-2012, 05:31 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 |

My first post on this site: just picked up my ti last week, 1996 almost all stock, now has 87K miles. BMW owner since 1990: E34, 2002tii, E36, X5 (e53), E36/8 (MCoupe) now the ti and soon replacing the E53 with an #70.
Lurking over the past few weeks and talking to Ed, my mechanic, taught me a lot. I carried the two plastic coolant pipes with me in case I broke on edriving up form LA to NorCal, but no problems except for no radio antenna.
