Default 323ti

Hi I live in Mexico City and am so lucky we have 323 ti. I just bought one, 2000, 42000 KMS! Sounds impossible but the car is very clean I almost believe the kms.
This is my first BMW, it has always been a dream of mine to own one and Ihappened to come across the ti model, I really love it, don't mind the trunk impairment at all, I think it looks great!
Does anyone have any idea if there might be a market for 323ti's in the USA, I know there are quite a few for sale here. Might be a money maker somehow.
Cool forum
Saludos

Are we talking about E36's or E46's?

never saw an e46 ti until now,I looked on google images, this wasn't imported to mexico but we have loads of 1 series too. You don't have that in USA right? check out www.autoplaza.com.mx for used car sales, now that the dollar costs 15 pesos, a 50% devaluation for us, you guys with US dollars could buy very cheap here and import. i don't know how would you go about that but it would be interesting to look into. Mine cost me 6ooo USD. 90,000 MXP

we do, they just recently began being imported though, we never got the 323ti though, I thought it was only sold in Germany, so I'd say there's definitely a market for them here

do you know if it's an original 323ti or just a 318ti with an engine swap?
