Had our penultimate autocross today, overall PAX winner was some kid, maybe 20-21 years old. He looked pretty good for his age seeing as our region is mostly guys over 30 and a lot who are closer to 50 or over.

Oh, that kid also happened to be me. Cue the smug face. I'll do a proper writeup tomorrow.

That is a most definitely California canvas top. I own possibly the greatest non-clubsport 318ti to come out of the factory.

Its so Awesome! I really like these, and with the California top, they are seriously cool to my eye.

The 318ti looks surprisingly at home!

They are really great cars, very under appreciated and they get a bad rap they don't deserve

If it didn't have the original 15 year old suspension with over 100k miles it would look a lot better! With that said my dad and I have done exceptionally well with the car, much better than we ever expected or even dreamt of!

Exactly! The later E30 318is is adored by tons of people, this is pretty much the same car with a different body and maybe an extra 200lbs of weight and they are hated on by most of the BMW crowd.

Nice. It's always good to see someone else get the incurable virus. Keep up the good work.

Ive had it for a few years now but we actually bought legitimate tires this year and became rather competitive.

Even better. Not only do you have racing in your blood, you are smoking the R-comp crack. There is no hope. :-)

Haha we're only on RS3s so not quite R-comp crack but just about as close as we can get!

I miss my 318ti. It's a love it or hate it E36 in the BMW community. I was on the love it side.
