BMW 318ti Sport. I loved this car. Unfortunately in October, 1998, on Rt. 93N in Wilmington, MA, a brakeless wonder in an '81 Volvo decided to total it for me by hitting me in the back and pushing me into the car in front of me. Thanks a lot, dude. I came out untouched, but the car was not so lucky. You can see pictures of the aftermath here. Note that it was raining the day I took these pictures. Pretty fitting for the wonderful mood I was in, I suppose. The night of or after the accident, I was showing my friend an issue of European Car's BMW Power magazine and saying that if the ti was totalled, I wanted an E30 M3. After two months of living hell, an E30 M3 is exactly what I got: 1991 M3, Diamond Black. About 43,000 miles and incredible condition. Holy shit. This car is unbelievable. As much as I loved the 318ti, the E30 M3 is like no other car I have ever driven.

Anyway, this site is about my 318ti. Since there are already quite a few web sites out dedicated to the 318ti, I will concentrate here on my car and the modifications I have done. Pretty much everything was done by either Turner Motorsport or HMS Motorsport. I would like to thank Turner, HMS, and the 318ti mailing list for so much help and information. Between the BMW 318ti/Compact Mailing List and the BMW Car Club of America, my ownership experience has been enhanced tremendously.

The following sections are what I feel is necessary to talk about relative my car. For certain redundancies in modifications between performance and cosmetic, like suspension, I chose the more relevant. Sure, the car looks great a little lower due to the suspension, but the big gain is obviously in performance.
