I have been searching high and low on 318ti.org, bimmerforums.com, autotrader, and ebay for a ti Sport with less than 95k miles and I am having no luck. Where else can I find a ti?

Also, I am from Ohio, so I would like to find one in either OH, KY, or IN.

Thanks

craigslist?

They aren't super easy to find but you named most of the places I would go and also craigslist like exercitus said. You may have to extend your search some distance, I got mine in Santa Barbara (215 miles north of my town).

Let's face it: the ti did not sell well in the US and compared to other E36, there just aren't that many of them. The key is patience. Jus wait a while and one will show up.

They do show up from time to time. I found one that i was really interested in located in Salt Lake City. Low mileage and clean. Only problem was it was a theft recovery and my insurance company wouldnt cover it adequately for my tastes.

The ones i want usually are usually sold by the time i inquire on them

Nice, I e-mailed about the black one. The red one really isn't a sport and it has too many miles for me.

I'm located in Columbus, Ohio, and I would welcome placing "Benny" in
a new home with someone on the list who I know will appreciate what a
wonderful car he is! In case you can't tell, this hurts; but the Z3
is a dreamcar and, since I hope to move to AZ someday, Black on Black
just won't work. Somebody will get a much-loved car out of this!
Thanks.

btonns, I found mine in Cincinnati... Loveland actually. Got a hell of a deal, and late found out it was a Club Sport.
so I'm sure there are others. Just be patient. It's more fun to drive in the three other months (besides winter) anyway

What is the ti Digest? I apologize if that is a dumb question..I am a newb.

That's too funny, I have the same car as you and live in Ventura. I was down in La Jolla and saw yours parked out on the street two days before I flew to Michigan to pick mine up. I paid $4150 for mine and it had a new motor with less than 20k, 1 owner and a clean Carfax. SCORE!

You're looking for a car that's roughly 10 years old with less than 100k. Good Luck! There's a few out there, but most people either don't want to sell them or they want waaaaay too much. Blue Book for our cars is about $4-5K but I usually see them sell between $7-8k. I found mine on Ebay, but I was very lucky. It was worth the $130 Southwest Airlines ticket and the long drive through the snow. The previous owner was really cool, he had all of the maintenance records, manuals and a bunch of extra goodies which he threw in for me. Besides that he took really good care of the car, it only had a couple small blemishes. My friend who accompanied me on the trip is a smoker. I almost felt bad because when he went to light a cig, the lighter had never been used.

The guy from ti Digest sold it to his mechanic :(..Any other sports for sale?

Nice, I e-mailed about the black one. The red one really isn't a sport and it has too many miles for me.

if you are worried about high mileage chances are you wont find a ti that you like. i have noticed quite a few in the midwest and in texas. were they more popular in different parts of the country?

That is a really nice ti, but I only have about 7,500 to spend.

Buy my car. My chassis has about 110k on it. My motor has about 80k. Heavily modified. And I can meet you in Kentucky. Let me know.

How much are you selling it for?

318ti now listed for sale on ebay 330086071733.
