Hello. I recently purchased my first TI. It is a 95 318ti in alpine white, 5 speed, LSD, etc. I bought it very cheap bone stock as a beater/daily driver, but then I discovered its really fun, and I really like it. So in my first month of ownership I have replaced the coolant system, fixed oil leaks, brakes, installed Bilstein Sports w H&R sport springs, 17" M3 LTW wheels, and done some body work. Its a great car, and it is starting to look pretty good. I am not new to BMW's. At the moment I own the 95 318ti(daily), 95 325i(track car), 97 M3 4/5(project), and a 00 328i(wife's daily). I enjoy the cars, driving them, and working on them. Thanks for all the good information here. See you around.
