Smile my new 98' 318ti mtech maybe?

hey there, i picked this thing up yesterday in oralndo, its sitting at my parents house until i drive it back up to atlanta.
its a manual, it has an intake and a muffler welded on the rear, extremely loud and annoying btw.
the intake is terrible, and there is supposed to be a sensor but there is just a plug and no sensor
ac and heat works.
drivers side window works, passenger window doesnt budge. hardtop.
original body, stock paint, a couple scratches in the rear, and a little paint fade on on the rear hatch.
interior is great. millipoint?
now the kicker, only has 115k on the clock!!
now for the pictures!

that's not millpoint, just the standard sport cloth. looks like it's in good condition though, should clean up nicely without the rice

Very nice. Should delete that rice pipe, though.

yeah, i cant wait to get rid of that intake. as for right now with the muffler, i am buying a silencer for it. the overall project is supposed to add a m52, lowered and lots of wheel combinations, and 325 brakes.
when i do get to do the m52, i will redo the whole exhaust so i figure not to dump money into that pot twice.
also daily it.
other then wheels and lowering, i plan on blacking out the top part of the tails, i ordered black kidneys already, and porjectors with some smoked corners.
m52 is the main plan for now.
big dreams, long term but big

No radio? Removed by previous owner?

Completely off topic, but why do so many people leave their cars in neutral? Although your driveway seems fairly flat, never trust your park brake! Two systems holding the car in place is always better than one!

Nice car, just bought a very similar looking 318ti myself over here in London. Mine is pretty stock apart from some Alpine ICE. Will put a post up soon with some pictures. First off is a good service as the last BMW stamp in the service book was a few years back ! Looking forward to seeing some of your mods.
