thats the e46 325ti. availible in europe until last year but not for you guys in the states. there arent many fans of the e46 ti on here stateside (due to the ugly as sin rear lights.)
there are loads of the 46's over here (not many of the 325ti's though) i hope to get one by the end of the year. __________________

thats becuase were a HYBRID of sorts....e30/e36...some are afraid...some just dont know...but thats what we are...an organization of hybrids...kinda like Underworld! lol...sorry...couldnt help it...i love those movies.... | | | | | 06-15-2006, 06:11 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Asheville NC Posts: 669 |
the whole e30 likeness is what turned me on to the ti in the first place. I've always liked the e30's but since they're getting older and I wanted something newer and more reliable for my wife to drive (who's only request in cars is that they are small) Then since she wouldn't let me drive her car, I had to get another one for me :-)
I was in the UK last week and saw several e46 ti's... I really like them and wish I could get one here. I don't care too much for the headlights, but I can overlook that. | | | | | 06-15-2006, 06:27 PM | #8 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

Some people dont like TIs because to some it looks like someone chopped the back of a BMW off. Its all a matter of taste. __________________

I guess it's not the "american way" | | | | | |
