...has a job!
Picked it up last night for $1500...Great body, mint wheels...fuck-ton of miles. The interior is fucked..smells like spilled coffee and cigarettes. It needs a serious douching. Both windows off the tracks and mostly inoperable. Overall decent. Spent the evening peeling the purple tint off the windows. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
 
:/

318I was my first car. Still wish I had it. Plug wires cost $150 alone for it, but it was a fun little car.

I've almost got all the tint glue off the side windows...still have to do the hatch glass...Changed the oil, spark plugs, and valve cover gasket, gave the undercarriage and engine bay a good degreasing and hose down. Mostly gutted the interior yesterday. I have to fix the window problems. Shapingup pretty nicely though...I need some cheap coils and an alignment.
 
doesn't look like those fit the Ti according to the website. Remember, the Ti has an e36 4-door front end with an e30 rear end, more or less.

I had RD sport springs and bilstein blue shocks on 17" m3 countours.

In addition to all of the above, my front drivers' seat is TRASHED...there are some cars in the are being parted out that claim to have good seats for around $200 but they are black..I might rock them anyway...

And ya, the ti rear has trailing arms instead of upper and lowers.
 
Right, but those coilovers still fit

The struts are longer overall but very close in size when compressed...you can get about a 2" drop with them


I'm not guessing, I had a 98 318ti and I had this suspension. The picture of the kit is from my living room
 
I believe you. Those actually look decent. Did they perform well enough?

About what you'd expect. A little stiffer but not bone jarring.

I didn't have the car long after but they seemed to hold up fine
 
Finally got the thing looking respectable enough to warrant taking a few pictures...bostongrun:

Even after 2" coils the thing looks like a fucking monster truck...kind of disappointed actually. I think I might pick up the Rokkors. It still needs so much other work though.
