First BMW

bizzleguizzle · 01-25-2012, 10:49 PM

Hello, everyone!

I'm new to the forum and to the world of driving a BMW.
I've just become the proud new owner of a 2008 328i Coupe.
It's graphite with black interior. The car drives like a dream.
I moved up in the world from the Honda Accords I was driving.
I've been reading this forum for a few days now and I love the camaraderie around here. I'm located in Chicagoland, and any tips or things you guys want to share would be appreciated. I will post some pics in a little bit.

Thanks!
-Bruce

Welcome! Just wait until you learn the "ins and outs" of these cars and begin modding them!

Welcome aboard! Any mods planned? I said I was gonna leave the car stock....yeah that didn't last long.

So I haven't had time to take any good pics yet (what with work), even though I want to stay home and play with the car!

The only thing the car doesn't have really is Bluetooth (which kills me!), so I am planning on getting the bluetooth retrofit from Patryk at bimmer-tech and having Kris at modmynav do the install. Maybe CIC retrofit later? Anyone done either of those retros?

Congrats...
just an idea, keep your car's manual in your bathroom and read it with morning dump, you will keep finding new features...lol
