Looking good Geno. How would you compare the driving expearience between the different model 318's?

I swear all E30 318 owners have an Ti as daily driver.

Thanks keith. They both have good attributes, the e30 if deffenatly more fun to drive do to the fact it's five speed and the suspention is stiff and handles like a track car. the TI has heated seats cruise control comfy ride and still fun to take corners. E30> or = to e36 compact; that's my opinion :)

I understand they are kind of the ugly step child but I have always liked those hatches. Nice car ;)

Thanks pal, same I remember back when I was in high school I would go nuts when seeing one, now I own one. It's a good feeling

looks good! i love Ti's i really want to get one and thanks to you I have to narrow my search for ones with the Cali Top. :up:

Thanks, Nice!

Both of your cars are fuggin awesome. I've always loved 318ti

Thanks, Looks like all of r3v is coming out of the closet haha the secret e36 lovers

I wonder how hard it would be to graft that top into an e30. Assuming you could find a wreck with that option

You are crazy, that kind of thinking is forbidden lol I wouldn't think it would be worth it.. They do makes kits for vw and stuff "webasto top top" I think it's called my buddy has it in his '73 2002 the orange one, the top is not powered

I just notice yours has leather seats, now that's rare! slap on some BC and you will enjoy track time on yours, we enjoys ours tremendously when weather is nice.

Well, according to the well trusted source....Wiki.
"The BMW E36/5 Compact shares its suspension with the BMW Z3. The front employs the E36's standard MacPherson strut design, while the rear suspension uses a semi trailing arm from the previous model BMW 3 Series (E30)."

Since it shares the same suspension setup as the Z3, i can see where the handling is good. This is probably the only e36 i would consider to own.

I saw you all at Juan Colorado's over in bethany village. Nearly shat myself with excitement. Unfortunately I was working otherwise I would have come and introduced myself.... Nice cars. I approve.

Looks Awesome Geno! I'm kinda jealous!! lol

[Eurospec]

That top is AWE-SOME :)

How's the wind noise when it's fully retracted? Does it get loud on the highway?

[series88]

Been looking for an alpine ti with cali top for a while. I love ti's for some odd reason

[e30Chris]

This car's awesome. I wouldn't kick a ti daily out of the garage, even if it is an e36. They're getting quite rare though.
