welcome, post some pics of your ti  I'd say clear turn signals, window tint and rims would be a good place to start, some 318ti.org decals would look really nice too  | | | | | 11-14-2008, 04:24 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

Here are some cool things you can do with your ti: 1) If you hold your key in the locked position outside, it will not only lock your doors, but it will roll up your window, and close your sun roof. 2) You can do a wicked burn out if you rub oil on your back tires. Highly advise against it though 3) You save more gas by leaving your car running for 30 min, rather than turning it off and restarting it. 4) If you turn on your fog lights, and start flashing your high beams, you get a strobe light effect. Good way in fooling others that you are a cop. Only available in some ti's. 5) If you hold down the rear windshield wiper, it will spray out water. Oh, and welcome to the forum  __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Hi Krissy,
Welcome to the org. Is it a 5-speed or auto? I upgraded my 5-speed shifter to the genuine walnut one from BMW. It gives it a really clean and crisp feel every time you shift. __________________

what do the aftermarket rims look like? pics would help, they might not be that bad, but since you asked, new BMW rims are very expensive, every now and then someone will post up a set of used rims for sale, or you can check the bimmerforums.com wheel and tire classifieds | | | | | 11-14-2008, 07:02 PM | #9 | | Member Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Leesburg Posts: 30 |

Proof that ti's look good at the beach at sunset or knee deep in snow. We consider them the best all around cars! (but of course, we're biased!)
Replacement fog lights are very easy to come by, especially if your car had them originally. Ebay, Craigslist, and other online retailers are great resources, but do be cautious ordering, as many parts for our cars are ti specific.
Members here have ordered (or considered ordering) just about anything available for our cars and have posted about their experiences. Use the Search feature on the site, or if you can't find it that way, just post up a question. I'm sure every one will be happy to assist!
