I'm assuming it's the E46 versios of the ti, anyways, thought ya'll might like to look at it. | | | 10-15-2004, 02:49 AM | #2 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Yeah that model came out like 2 years ago,not sure if it ever went on sale in the US. I hate the front of it,i think it looks ugly. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 10-15-2004, 03:11 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: North Saint Paul, MN Posts: 606 | that model never came to these shores unfortunately. BMW needs to produce a new ti and soon that actually comes here. it would be nice to have a larger engine in them too. | | | 10-15-2004, 03:49 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Lafayette, Louisiana, US Posts: 164 | yeah. go check out bmw's site. not bmw - north america ( www.bmwusa.com). but their international site ( www.bmw.com/generic/com/en/index.html). look at 3-series. compact. you'll see all the e46 ti's and td's that europe has. i'm hoping they'll come back to the states one day in the "near" future. but refering to your original question. yeah. that's a 318ti at some dealing in europe (germany if i recall correctly). also, if i'm not mistaken, the little hatchback behind it is a 320td ("td" = turbo diesel). but if i had the money (which...i have nowhere near enough), i wouldn't mind taking a trip to good ol' germany and come home with a new toy. their 325ti looks pretty nice. but i'll keep dreaming for now. and to help me dream, i put this pic as my desktop background a while back... | | | 10-15-2004, 04:14 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | FWIW cost to federalize a 325ti would be about $10k __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 10-15-2004, 06:19 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 | I'm not a big fan of the tail lights. Kinda makes it look like an IS300 IMO. | | | 10-18-2004, 01:13 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Lafayette, Louisiana, US Posts: 164 | Quote: Originally Posted by 96cali FWIW cost to federalize a 325ti would be about $10k | yeah. i wouldn't be able to get one even if there was no cost. but cool. that's interesting to know. | | | 10-18-2004, 02:35 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: oc-california Posts: 239 | I found out why the ti is not imported in the US - because the ti damages the reputation/image of bmw in america. the sad truth.....damn those yuppies | | | 10-22-2004, 05:49 PM | #9 | Member Join Date: May 2004 Location: New York Posts: 32 | In the original picture, if you look at the License plate, it says 318i, not 318ti. I just thought I would point that out. __________________ Crystal: Blue 1999 318ti w/California Sunroof and M-tech body kit | | | 10-22-2004, 05:55 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 | Quote: Originally Posted by DCSean8 In the original picture, if you look at the License plate, it says 318i, not 318ti.

Is the front of the 318i the same as the ti? __________________ Crystal: Blue 1999 318ti w/California Sunroof and M-tech body kit | | | 10-23-2004, 03:36 AM | #12 | Member Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: East Coast Posts: 89 | Quote: Originally Posted by 96cali FWIW cost to federalize a 325ti would be about $10k | What is FWIW? | | | 12-08-2004, 04:28 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 | Quote: Originally Posted by gadgetphreak | No clue on the spoiler, but the fog should fit since it's it's still an M technic bumper. And as for the brakes, those are cool and all, but I don't know that they would be any cheaper than just buying a BBK made for bimmers. | | | 12-08-2004, 04:43 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Lincoln Park Capitol Hill, Washington DC Posts: 741 | What's wrong with the IS300? That was my second choice for a car before landing a great deal on the '97Ti. Nice power, VERY reliable and nicely appointed perks. Sporty, too. Almost 10-12k less than a 330I with about the same HP? | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
