Not Your Usual Ti, Twice As Fast Than Most


BMW ///Motorsport...



It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I wonder what difference it would make.

BTW, what else can i get? Are there rear strut bars for our cars?

What kind of sway bars should i get that aren't to expensive?

There is little point (Besides looks to a rear strut bar in a TI. None of the E30 style rear suspension components tie in to the towers besides the shocks. If you can get a look at the rear bracing of a old E30 M3 touring car you'll see the bracing ignores the towers. You can get way more bang by upgrading the bushings and having a good shop brace the floor pan at the pivots. Add the M3 upper shock mounts.

Butt-strut for the rear. Though, I'm not sure if any ti owners have done it.

I've heard that on 95 and older you need "nutserts" and on 96 and up you don't. Is that right? And.. what is a nutsert? You still have to do some drilling no matter what year it is correct? I'd really like one of these, but dont know much about installation of it.
