Teach me about 318Ti M Sports

That is a $4k car here in 'berta land with that kind of mileage. Gawd dayum.

I'd have already bought it for that price.

Thanks. If I finish the ball joint R&R on the Vic before the kids get out of school (seized pinch bolt ) I'll call about the Ti.

I never knew a such thing like this existed..

Probably can't lose on this side from it being a 4cyl bmw

We turned one into a race car back when it was new and ran BMW CCA club racing events with it. Fun car. Definitely not fast. Easy to drive on track. I ran it at some drag races, too. No matter what, I could never get it below 17.0 seconds.

honestly, out of all the cars I have owned.. the one I miss the most was my 318ti. It wasn't fast (but could still do donuts with the factory LSD), outhandled most things on the road once I put it on Bilstein colilvers, and outbraked everything with the 330i brakes.. and honestly, with the buy in and mods, probably never cost me more than 7 or 8 grand.. and I paid $4500 for it and did careful shopping of parts.

I would still own it if not for the shoddy accident repairs caused a big rust issue

Aren't the door panels, 318 specific and stupid expensive?

In reply to Opti:

Nah, not stupid expensive.....just hard to find mint ones since too many dipE36 M3s slam their doors. Mine were still good at 175k when I removed/sold them....lol

Jed, if he doesn't have receipt proof factor in a water pump, radiator, and t-stat housing.

many parts on the 318ti are model specific. Most of the car to be exact.

The front clip is pure 4 door E36... bumper, hood, grills, lights, fenders, sunroof, and mirrors. Doors and everything back is 318ti. Even the taillights, which look a lot like the wagon's... are specific to the ti.

In the interior, except for main controls, switches that are shared with the Z3, and seats.. is pure Ti..

I never understood why BMW didn't try to give these cars the same interior across the board.. but even the dashboard is different from coupe' to Sedan.. They really should have pulled a page from GM's playbook to standardize parts

Just putting out some inspiration
