The interior is sand/grey. No cruise control, no OBC, but it does have heated seats of all things. It did not come with fog lights, but I installed some myself without too much trouble. Just put Bilstein HD shocks on it which make a world of difference; the ride is solid but not harsh. My guess is that is rides much like a sport model on these shocks. I am in the process of retrofitting the car with cruise control, and I would like to put sport model sway bars on it some day. All in all I love the car and have enjoyed playing around with it. | | | 12-25-2011, 03:23 AM | #228 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Lancaster, PA Posts: 295 | pretty sure mines just a base, says Alpineweib III right below the fuse box in the engine bay, not sure how to confirm what it is would love to know __________________ Aerodynamics are for those who can not build engines | | | 01-18-2012, 03:13 AM | #230 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: washington DC Posts: 7 | Hello all, I have a 318 ti M 1997, I just got a turbo kit for it, I need help installing it, could anybody help?

Saved it from the crusher for a couple hundred bucks. Nothing seems to be wrong with it cept in need of new bumpers and lights along with tensioner pulleys. | | | 03-22-2012, 04:12 PM | #236 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Buffalo Ny Posts: 5 | Hello from Buffalo NY Hello and I am a very excited and lost owner of a well used 1998 318ti. I recently purchased the car with low low mileage of 178,000. I choose the 318ti in a desire for a "hot hatch" as Top Gear would call it. However I do not like front wheel drive so a VW or Honda was out plus I am 35 and am not a boyricer.The car has a few issues and this is my first BMW but not my first German car. The body has issues but not that bad, the interior is super clean and is unmodded which is a plus.I am uncertain what model this is, it doesnt have foglamps, but has the auto (did not want but required due to health reasons) leather interior, heated seat, ASC, ABS with odd warning light on it and has a factory sunroof. Mechanicaly I am dealling with a bad rack or pump, the steering has little assist and appears to be pissing fluid. A short test drive ( not how I normally do new cars) showed no over heating but was leaking coolant from a plastic plug underneath. A/C is inop but that is an easy fix for me and to finish it off are the warning lights of ASC, ABS and a red circle on the warning guages. Exterior is nice and shiney red but was in a accident at sometime int the past. The driverside was hit and the paint is bubbling from underneath and the passenger side fender has a wierd rot on top of the fender. But these clouded headlights have to go. For all of its issues I really wanted this car and may bite me in the ass, but from a asking price of 2950 I made it down for 2100. The owner was unaware of the rack. He claims it was sitting for over a year. I will be sure to post detailed pics soon. And hope you can help me decode what I have bought. | | | 03-27-2012, 07:30 PM | #237 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Las Cruces, NM Posts: 5 | I am the original owner of a 95 318ti Club Sport (Hellrot Red), but not for too much longer as I have put it up for sale. | | | 03-27-2012, 07:39 PM | #238 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | 95 Black sport __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!
