About $125 for each plus shipping. They can be found. Still haven't decided to install it or not. Further down my project list. | I found a nice reproduction piece on e-bay from a company in Dallas, Texas. Fiberglass, primed and sanded for about $150 if I remember right. No emblem, however. I haven't installed it yet. John | | | 06-07-2014, 02:03 PM | #272 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Virginia Posts: 242 | You can get the spoiler from getbmwparts.com for $230.

All the other body forms had that option available, but just very few people bought it back in the days, so it's something quite rare, too (but I've tried it and believe me, the tilt is SO minimal, that I wouldn't have spent any extra cash for it either back in the days ) __________________ Want car parts?

He had found an E36 with the tilt steering column last time I saw him. Perhaps he's done it by now and can comment. __________________ 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!

Those wanting a tilt steering and are in western Mass, I got rid of my early e36 andit had tilt wheel.

I am so glad to NOT have to use my head anymore! Downside, it is harder to shut it now! lmao You know you have a ti when it is mistaken for a Civic at quick glance. Months I walked past this car before I bought it.

Senseless to replace them until everything else is fixed. You know you own a ti when the door locks jam up causing you to crawl in through the hatch. | | | 12-17-2014, 04:38 AM | #285 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | ...when to consider attaching the door cards with self tapping sheet metal screws. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
