SDKs 1996 BMW 318ti Cali

[SDKmann]

Well heres a few pics of the ti. Nothing too impressive, shes dead stock and will remain that way until I sell her in the near future except for mabye a new set of rims. This is BMWs bastard child, its a E36 with E30 rear suspention and an E30 dash. Unfortunantly it also comes with BMWs OBDII 1.9l M44 four banger with about 140hp. Mine is an active model which means the trip computer, cruise control, and slushbox came with the package. It also was equiped with the California roof which was a rare option that basically was a large sheet of canvas over a hole in the roof. It was not designed for Iowa. It also has the premium option 5 spoke wheels and Montreal Blue metalic paint. I hit black ice and got to meet the rear end of a RAV-4 over a year ago and the hood is still crunched but its PS to kinda give you an idea of what it used to look like. Ill take some better pics when I get a chance, I just snapped these quick after detailing her yesterday.

The hatch, nice and tucked, and about 200 lbs. lighter then a trunk

The Cali top is pretty sweet nonetheless, I've never seen one in person. If you're getting rid of the bastard child then what've you got in mind for the future?

I almost dont want to say it and jinx it but Im thinkin a ///M3. Theres one in Marshaltown and Im hoping that its still for sale in a few months when Im ready to sell/ possibly give to the sis. Im going to indy to pick up some parts for it and then fixing the damage up front so it should look real good when it comes time.
