Hi I just purchased a 1996 318ti and after some research found this website. I have been into the VW/Audi scene for a long time but this is my first BMW, I think it will be a fun car and I look forward to learning and contributing to this site.

-Ben Wojcik

p.s. I will post pictures of the new car soon

Welcome and you will be sure you made the right choice once you have lived with the Ti a bit. Any questions?

Ben, welcome......just like me; I was a VW/Audi nut for a good 18 years. Had a 84 Rabbit GTI, 2 86 GTIs, 86 Audi 4000 and 92 Audi 90. Those were great cars, but my 97 318ti is by far the best: handling, tightness and built quality. You have the earliest M44 engine (at least stateside) and unfortunately no bolt-on "go fast" parts can make it any faster.....for cheap, just like VW/Audi's stuff. But, take it on autocross events and find out what it actually needs: suspension, better tires, etc. Although the Dinan S2 chip has made me very happy.
Godd luck with it.

Thanks guys, I think my first mod will be suspension and then since my Ti is kind of a stripper model with hubcaps I am going to try and find some oem 16" wheels or maybe M wheels if I can find a good deal.
I also have a cracked tail light, is there a place that I could find some red/clear or solid red tail lights for a good deal?

Ebay has tons of those. They are reasonable.

Do wheels before suspension if you have the hubcaps, IMO. You can have a real nice lowered set up, but with steels and caps, it still wont look good.
