Another newused 335i owner

chucktang · 01-02-2011, 10:09 AM

Just purchased my first ever BMW - an '07 335i coupe with about 40k miles on it. Coming from 15 years of Acura's and Lexus's, I cannot be happier thus far with my purchase. An absolute blast to drive and loving the Montego Blue color.

My factory warranty is still good for another 9 months or so - I've been trying to read as many threads as I can about suggestions prior to the expiration, but is there anything I should be doing right now with the car in terms of mechanics... or just wait for regularly scheduled maintenance and a pre-warranty expiration examination?

Thanks!

edit: or just look at the almost identical thread a few down... whoops. Just wanted to say hello anyways.

Congrats on the car! If you plan to keep it long term, I would do more frequent maintenance than what the 15k mile interval suggests. I think it's called the Old School Maintenance manual or something like that.
