I have always liked those cali tops.

I think just the regular ti is not exactly common. Definitely dont see one every day.

Very common in europe of course. Ive always wanted one. Trunks do nothing positive for handling, and it gets good gas mileage.

Its really one of the best bmws ever made before the big moonroof.

I think i see brake drums in the back though. Thatd have to be upgraded.

It has 5 lugs, very short. Very nice. worth 3800 definitely.

I agree you don't see many. I do like them for what they are. I actually see a few around where I live and have thought about picking one up for a daily.

Yeah not a lot of Ti's floating around in general so that Cali rag is rare. I have seen 1 or 2 in socal. Ti's are cool. My buddy had one with Euro s50b32.

I've never even heard of them... must be pretty damn rare. For only $3800 you'd be getting a very rare and unique vehicle just waiting for an s52 swap :)

That ragtop was a factory option is my recollection.

This is correct.

I've only seen one in my 2.5 years at BMW. This might actually be it as I remember those wheels and intake.

I think that is an outstanding car.

Pretty much ideal

How good are these tops? Do they make tons of noise at highway speed? Do they have a reputation of leaking? This would be something kind of unique to do to my e30.

I've never had one but i would guess it would weaken your unibody quite a bit. People don't understand how much structural support the roof adds

$800 is not bad price at all..

$3800?
I've seen them go for $1000 less with less miles etc.

I still like the look of the TI's, though I would consider swapping in something with a but more torque..
