I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Default Hello...1st post here...

Ive been a bimmer driver for years, I was driving an e36 sedan for a couple years, I had put a ton of time and $$$ into it and about 6 months ago my mom totalled it(shes OK).
So now Im driving an e46 that has steptronic(hate it) and the car is just too nice for me... its not that fun to drive and its pretty slow...

So I still have my 92 325 drivetrain 100% with a rebuilt 5-speed, bavauto chipped ECU, lots of little stuff...

Im thinking of finding a high mileage ti or a shell to put all my stuff in...
theres a local shop that kinda of inspired me when they told me they were building a 330ti...

I love the E36. Its my dream car. So I want another one...
So if you have a good shell let me know...

If I dont continue with this project I have a complete nonvanos M50 drivetrain with goodies that will go into someones ti.

Heres some pics:
E36 before:


After:


and the e46:
