Thumbs up New Member Just Saying Hi

So I just parted out and traded in my 08 Civic Si for a 08 BMW 328i Sedan.

I had a Super Charger and alot of other MODs on the civic so I am not really looking to do much to the BMW due to not wanting to put that much time and money into it.

Joined to learn how to maintain the car and possible do the basic maintenance like oil change and filters and even brakes when the time comes.

I do have a extended warranty on it so that does help but I have always done all the work on my car and I would like to carry that on with the BMW.

I have always had window visors on my cars and I really liked them but I have not seen to many on the BMW and seems people dont like the look of them.

They would be the ones that go inside the window track........not the ones that stick on the outside of the doors

Its your car and preference. I have'nt seen anyone with them either. maybe you can be the first. B4 they said you cant fit an m3 diff on an e92 until a member from south africa did it.

My civic was a 08 so I really only know about the 06-11 civics. I did all the suspention and motor work and stereo stuff myself. I paid someone to tune the car. I am not to good at using computer stuff.

Welcome! Not a fan of the window visors. Functional yes...especially in the rainy northwest, but in my opinion they look out of place on anything but a truck.

Nice and clean looking car, I know your not looking to mod...not a lot of engine mods you can do anyways on a 328, but some coilovers, drop her an inch or two, with some nice rims and that car is looking sharp.

I got the visors yesterday and they look like the will not stick out that far. Well I am going to at least try them out. I am also getting my windows tinted and the sun roff tinted

They do look better on a coupe then a sedan
