So that's what it is called! A Turbo Button!
Hmm.... the Germans are so smart. I guess the turbo is hidden when you open the hood and it magically appears when you close the hood and drive the car very hard.
lol
anyways, $600 for that car doesn't sound too bad, but it sounds like you can get it for $400 by negotiating. __________________

well, auto's are not That bad.....Sure stick shift is nice, but are you racing the car? Personally, there are only three reasons why stick shift is necessary: 1) Racing 2) Every guy, when he turns 16, needs to learn how to drive a stick shift 3) Prevents moron's or your blond girlfriend from driving your car without you  Anyways, that car would be a nice project car. But the 318ti will grow jealous and start giving you trouble. __________________

there are only 3 reasons NOT to have a manual.

2) your old and/or brittle
3) your uncoordinated __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

Did I get it right? | | | | | 05-05-2010, 12:33 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |
I called and they were not very nice about the turbo button. They didn't understand my questions about the boost it was pushing, short call...Haha | | | | | |
