Light Yagami I owned a 318ti .. it needed all of it lol

[@JDMHaze]

lmaoo

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

I've always loved the look of these weird "mini trunk" BMW's. The power to weight ratio must be pretty darn good.

[@brantisonfire]

+paradoxdesigns It was actually the lightest of the 3-series BMWs. I think with the manual they weighed about 2700-2800 lbs. If we would have had the option of the 323ti, like Europe got, it would have been so much better.

[@fabianbauza4448]

The false Bmw

[@NikosDIY]

Loved the sound of the car. This retro reviews are priceless.

[@fernandorocha-dx1wv]

This BMW is sport car with perfomance spetacular

[@leeboydjason]

i still have this car as of now! Running like a Champ!

[@johnmojtabaee8000]

ninjasoon post video of it or you’re a liar

[@theskig]

Do you still have it? Any link for pictures and other info?

[@Green7Force]

Still?

[@texan176]

Gotta love the R&D they put into it. Some tuner even fitted the first gen Z3 with a BMW V12 from the 750i during the 1990s. The price on this package makes no economic sense but at least they offered everything separate.

[@ma3zf]

I think the styling for this version is far better than the model that came after it. (We didn't get it in the U.S.)

[@davecom3]

Never heard of it and it makes sense they didn't give it more hp as I think the car's rear suspension is carried over from the E30 3 series. Similar power to the E46 330's power plant too

[@obi9065]

Well damn. This version looks like a track beast 🚗

[@Acc0rd79]

lol when the mods cost twice as much as the original car, you have a problem.

[@mro9466]

+Acc0rd79 twice as much as a normal 318ti, but then it's M5 e34 fast !

[@hanshoogendyk2203]

not really... most ricers spend that much on their cars !!!

[@theskig]

I bet today this car will be valued more than an M3 of the same era. Crazyness is a good thing when induces people to waste money in special - low number editions.

[@JEdmund81]

Love that bodystyle! Hate the pinstriping though.

[@soundseeker63]

£70k holy crap you could have bought a new 318ti and a new M3 for less than that! :-s Crazy money! That said, without that OTT body kit this would have been one awesome little sleeper hatch, 240hp would have whipped just about anything else that size/class in the mid 90s.

[@theskig]

Sleeper is the way ;)

[@Toyota4Life]

Quick car. Back when BMW were actually about driving feel. Now their just number cars

[@kirbyswarp]

+Toyota4Life The make shit cars now. Apart from the 2 series, I hate their whole hideous, bloated lineup.

[@hondamanvtec2894]

Lol Say that to my friends 335 Twin turbo Pisses on this car eazy

[@hanshoogendyk2203]

@@hondamanvtec2894 different car different era. no comparison!!!!

[@truelegendinblack]

Motor week upload E38 7 series :) I love these bimmer reviews

[@mro9466]

Now that's a SWAP :D

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

Would love to see an AC Schnitzer tuned M3 🔥

[@200STM]

looks good

[@Altavilla22Mike]

Your average V6 family sedan (Camry, Accord, Altima) has 275 horsepower now-a-days and can be had for like $25k, This BMW would be $85000 in today money! To put that into perspective, you can buy a new Corvette Z06 Convertible with 650HP and have $ left over!

[@fread51]

+LeadBlastin22 Don't for get about the Ford sho it has 365HP and AWD

[@Altavilla22Mike]

+billy heaton not sure I'd call a SHO an average family sedan for $40k, but the Taurus with the standard v6 sure does

[@fread51]

LeadBlastin22 Right they are pretty fast

[@demoskunk]

Aside from the Z06, none of those boring grocery getters handle nearly as well as this BMW.

[@theskig]

This is real tuning: 48k in upgrades on a 22k car. Instead of buying a new Porsche. I'll shake hands to anyone who bought this beast new. Decals apart.

[@eustahijelifetips]

this shit makes no sense, spending two times as much money on mods on a car that cost 22k is nonsense, thats not tuning, but only a big flex, even then, the compact was and still is laughed at, its a waste of money, that was porsche money back in the day

[@BlagoP]

This was a lot of money, but it was faster than an M3, probably handled better as well. And was as fast as a 911 Carrera at the time, but cheaper.

[@Juanknes]

BlagoP It's slower than a E36 M3

[@duangc3280]

European E36 m3 was beating testarossa's.

[@badbooking3221]

0.60 in 6 seconds with a quarter mile time of 13.7 seconds at 97 MPH. This somehow doesn't compute, you'd have to be a full second faster 0-60 in order to get 13.7 in the quarter usually.

[@MPasc403]

Could be gearing and slow shifting. If it has an M3 trans with a 3.45 diff, it’ll need a shift into 3rd to reach 60, adding to the 0-60.

[@goclunker]

Bmw should of just made the m3ti like they were planning on with test mules

[@Rotivanila5]

is bmw compact E36

[@renntech44]

Wondering if this car is still running...

[@IntegraDIY]

Yes, after a couple engine rebuilds

[@karpetcm]

i use to remember this car every time we looked at it we couldn't help but laugh back end is just bad.

[@karpetcm]

+RetroMMA yes you indeed got my point. You replying to my post with a pontiac aztec comment. Ofcourse looks are subjective and you were actually proud of your response to my post shows how intelligent you are. Looks are subjective lol. Very unique

[@brianlefevre7699]

Anyone know this color code?

[@narekoishnarny]

Չափից շատ թանկ է գնահատվել այս մեքենան ,կարծում եմ ծիծաղելի է պարզապես

[@jmccarsnmore1025]

$70K for a not even M engine!!😮😮😮 Good Lord!! 😂😂😂

[@ravipeiris4388]

Should have put the M3 engine instead.

[@s4socceritalia4s]

Retro review the 1999 Porsche 911 C2 !!!

[@supercooled]

+Kevork Tanossian stalker

[@kaneshuppert636]

Firstly, it’s a demo car. Nobody was putting all those parts on cuz u didn’t need all of them. It’s just proof of concept as no one is buying the four to put a six in when they could just buy a six! Also, For the life of me, I can’t think of a more useless expenditure than a carbon fiber valve cover!

[@simisai123]

But... even your current reviews feels retro, just hd.

[@juusbox]

Same locations and little to no difference in camera quality. That is why.

[@zoka3593]

back in the 90's and early 00's you could scoop up 3 bitches in 1 night if you took 'em foo a ride in the B M W
