Hi, I have been lurking for a little while as I have been trying to get up to date on BMW's, I had an E30 years ago and now I have invested in a 1994 318is. I purchased it at a good price the motor and drive train are perfect and I mean perfect, no rattles or whines and it goes fairly hard for a 1.8 a little better than the E30 I had, it has a few niggles but nothing unusual going from what I have gleaned from here, control arm bushes and rear shock mounts require replacement, I have already fixed the broken window clips ( bastard of a job ) and re glued the the door liners, anyway that is enough for now, I hope to be able to make a contribution to this forum in due time, for now it is great to be back behind the the wheel of a BMW  |  |  | | 12-12-2008, 10:38 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

They were "Keepin it Real" when they introduced the 318ti ClubSport in '95 and the 318ti Sports from '96 to '99.
After that... well nothing else really matters. ~Jess | | | | | | 12-15-2008, 08:20 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Orange County, NY Posts: 1,067 |
Welcome! I know what you mean about the window, I had to fix mine about a week ago. I didn't use gloves and my hands were covered in that grey-paste-like grease. __________________
