New here, and this is my first post! I've been reading about these cars for a few days after I found a 97 318ti for sale at a small dealership that has a lot of Nice and hard to find BMW's, plus other rare cars. It's got the California canvas top, 5 speed. I'm guessing it's the optional aqua metallic paint by the looks of it. It has M3 rims on it(staggered) and it has 115k on it. It says it's a rare m package. They are asking 6500. It looks good from the pics. Would this be a good deal? I'm guessing I can talk them down a little due to the economy and whatnot. I'm gonna try to take a trip to check it out prob next weekend. I gotta get a couple opinions from the pro's. lol thanks in advance! |  |  | | 02-04-2009, 11:10 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
well, it may be an M-tech package, but I sure would call them "rare", maybe talk them down to around $5500 or so, where were the pics? do you have a link to the ad for it? it does sound pretty nice | | | | | 02-04-2009, 11:25 PM | #3 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: SC Posts: 10 |
I well I'm on my phone now. Its on autotrader.com its located in greensboro NC at ES Motorsports. You should be able to find it there. Or ill get a link by tomorrow when I go back to work. I called them and they said someone put a deposit on it today... Grrrr | | | | | 02-05-2009, 05:33 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
ok, it's not an M package, the badge was added by a previous owner and it doesn't have the M rear bumper or the sport interior, still a clean ti, too bad about the deposit though, just keep searching, you'll find another ti that you like | | | | | 02-05-2009, 06:10 PM | #6 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: SC Posts: 10 |
I really like the wheels and the cali canvas top though... Wheels can be changed after I get one but I wanna find a manual with that top, oh and what's the difference in the rear bumpers? what about this one? they are asking more but I dunno http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false | | | | | 02-05-2009, 07:16 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
 this is the sport bumper, that one is waaaay overpriced, possibly because the PO spent so much money painting all the trim which, IMO, looks like crap, that one has also been for sale for an extremely long time for some reason | | | | | 02-05-2009, 09:04 PM | #8 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: SC Posts: 10 |
well I like the one with the cali top better anyways. I can't find any more of them for sale. I'm debating on getting a ti or a 99-02 3 series... | | | | | 02-08-2009, 10:53 PM | #9 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Provo Ut Posts: 3 | 1995 BMW 318ti
I am new to 318ti i have heard good and bad, something about a head gasket problem and automatic trans. My girlfriend is very intrested in this car and i would like to see that she gets a good car. I have been around bmw's for a while but mostly older 2002's and 2800s. I think this is a good deal and i need to know what to look for when i go to test drive the car ? Thank you for your help. This will help me greatly check out the car on the hot spot below. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=&ni...iew&ad=1064602 Thanks SEAN | | | | | 02-12-2009, 11:58 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: North Carolina Posts: 157 |

I can recommend a shop in Greensboro if you're interested in getting it checked out  They'll do a thorough check and let you know what all it needs | | | | | 02-13-2009, 12:10 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Greensboro, NC Posts: 234 |

I can't believe I haven't seen you around, that's really strange. What part of GSO do you usually drive in? | | | | | 02-13-2009, 04:24 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Greensboro, NC Posts: 234 |
