Rona318ti 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2006 Hi Guys I'm brand new to all this so bear with me! I just bought my wife (Rona) a 11/1996 318ti M-sport (first registered 1997) little red rocket ( I got a Range Rover for my 50th birthday!) and i must say it's a hell of a little car! I had a British XR3i escort rally car for 17 years and it's way better than that. This is our first BMW so have no experience of the make at all. My question is that its a Japanese import and has no owners manual. Has anyone got a copy on file i can download so I can find out all the good stuff and how it works? I will need to talk to the "BMW radio man" when i get back from overseas too about the japanese radio convertion to NZ frequencies. My wife had to listen to Paul Holmes this morning, as that was all she could get. The Dr said she will make a full recovery!! I look forward to many interesting converstations. Cheers Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
