Hi all...

New to the M42 but not to BMW... I picked up this 1995 e36 318ti in January for $3000.00 It had 138,000 miles on it and since then I've put on about 16,000 miles on it, yes I drive it a lot, but it's a DD I use for work and it gets great mileage. The car is a base without sunroof. I have added fog lights, and side skirts, painted all the lower grey moldings body color.

When I first got it, it needed new shocks and struts/mounts, and all engine gaskets, it was leaking oil like you wouldn't believe. Anyways, I'm very happy with it. Here are some pics:

Nice car, I have always liked the looks of the ti's. The only problem I see is that it only has two pedals and not three.

That car was on my short list too...but I bought an e30 instead.  The ti is such a unique car...reminds me of the old 2002 touring, except that it actually made it to the US.

That little Mercedes C220 is cute too, but rare with a manual and horribly overpriced to boot.

Cool little car. Always like this body style, too!
