Default Introducing myself

Hi ppl,

I visited this forum a few times before, since i got my TI last march, and I decided to join up!

My name is Steven, im 23 years old and im from The Netherlands.

The reason why i bought the TI, is that the first time i saw it, i was like "whoa I never knew BMW made these kind of practical cars". The fact that you don't see them often also made me decide on getting one myself.

The car is all original, but im gonna get a few things that will improve the looks of the car, like an M3 bumperset, 17" rims, maybe tinting the back windows (tinting the front is basically illegal here in Holland, they only allow a very small percentage tint). I'm also thinking of removing the trailer hook...

It's an early '96 (old type), has 165k km on it (roughly 100k miles), and I love it to death

Welcome! If you were in the US, I'd buy that towbar from you in a heartbeat.

Well i originally liked the fact that it had one, because I got a sparkling new mountainbike half a year ago and a bike thingie to go with it on the car, but that hobby didnt really pick up...so now it justs sits there...being ugly (the towbar)

Nice car! Congrats, and welcome!

Same here as Cirrus. If you ever want to ship that to the US, let us know. I'd be all over that. That would be great for a little tire/tool trailer going to events.

Btw, where did the exhaust go? It usually sticks out beyond the rear bumper, and I can't even see yours.

You could be a real champ and help a group of us out.
We are trying to get a speaker adapter, and it is only available in Europe. I can post a few websites that have them in Germany. The cost is around 17 Euros. If we sent you the money, could you get us the adapters?

Have you ever thought of taking the mount, and a speaker you want to mount to it, and making one out of plexiglass or lexan? It looks very easy to do. Jigsaw, scrollsaw, or band saw, plus a 3/16" drill bit would do the trick quite nicely, I'd be willing to bet.

I got those adapters too for my rear speakers actually. I bought them from a store that sold them for 11 or 12 euro (not as cheap as that 2nd link where its 6,95 euro, but I dont have a creditcard)

I don't mind setting you guys up for that. I could order them from that store and send them to whoever is interested.

Maybe I could open a different thread for ppl that are interested and can respond in that thread?

As I understand it, it gets cold in The Netherlands, so maybe you can't see the exaust due to "shrinkage'??
