318ti - an almost midlife undertaking

[RSkid]

Hey all,

My name is Ben and I'm a long time BMW/Car enthusiast.

Life has dealt me a funny hand lately and I sold off my 911 g-body Targa. Since the sale, I decided to take my 318ti and make a personal quest for the very fun and unique street car.

This project will revolve around a two owner m44 and a mister52 new supercharger offering.

I've ordered a bunch of parts this week and I'll update as I go but for now a here is how I bought the car:

I recently bought it from the original owner of 22 years, who did the most rightgeous updates for it in his ownership. Springs, struts, Stromung exhaust, x-brace, swaybars, brake lines, etc. The car came with every receipt for service from the 3100 mile oil change till present day.

Nice to meet you all and I look forward to sharing this journey with anyone who is listening.

Very clean Ti, welcome to the fold!

I used to see one in that color around the SLU campus back when I was in college. I wonder if this is the same one

Looking better already! You can never go wrong with Arc 8's on an E36 (or any BMW for that matter). Do you know what suspension the PO put on this thing?

I have a soft spot for Ti's. I also like the color. Nice pickup!

I do fancy a clean e36.

Is that Morea green? I will look for it around St. Louis. I have 1 1/2 318ti's and other e36s.
