Please Help!!! I've been thinking about purchasing a '99 Ti, but I don't know if that would be a wise investment. I am aware that December '98 was the last month of production (for the states). I have also heard that BMW has plans to introduce a new line of cars, similar to the current Ti. Is this true? And if so, when? Should I buy, or should I wait for something new? Thanks!!!!

| If you current car is still running up to your expectations, and/or the lease has at least another 6 months on it then wait | |
| jpsu1- BMW will introduce a new ti based on the E46 Three platform sometime next year. If it is offered in the US it will feature the 2.5 I6. The current ti is still a sweet car; My wife and I have two. For the money, they are the most BMW driving fun short of an M3. Just my $0.02. | |
| This is the last car you want to get from the BMer folks | |
| Please elaborate; share your boundless wisdom... | |

how is the 318ti in snow? i just fell in love with one and am seriously considering cxing my order for a new a4 |
|
| Anyone have an update on whether or not BMW plans on bringing a new ti to the U.S.? If yes, when? I've asked the BMW NA folks and they say they have heard nothing. If not, I may buy a used 318ti, or go with a Saab 9-3 or VW GTI. Also wish the Audi A3 would come here. Any info/advice greatly appreciated! | |
| I hear that the E46 Compact is US bound, but not for a year at least. And it will be a 323ti. | |
| Thanks, div2. I REALLY hope you are right--I have not been able to confirm this anywhere, so I hope your sources are good ones. BMW reps tells me they may come out with a new version of the classic 2002, but NOT a new ti--and they insist that they would know if it were coming for the 2001 model year. Hmmm. Meanwhile, enjoy your 318ti--I may look for a used one. | |

Here's a question I would appreciate input on: I can buy a new golf/GTI, or for about the same price (or even less) or buy a two year old BMW 318ti or Saab 900. Obvious similarities are the hatchback and European engineering. Has anyone driven all three of these and therefore have real-world driving experience? Thanks. There is an ad in my area for a '97 loaded ti for about $17,000. |
