Just bought a BMW! Hello all. :)

Illuminated · 07-24-2009, 01:31 PM

Hi all,

A few days ago we purchased our first BMW (wife and I). The details are in my signature, but it appears to be quite fully loaded (noticed it had Logic 7 last night while browsing the equalizer settings!) and we are extremely happy.

A little history of the cars we've had over the past 10 years or so: my wife has had a 2002 Civic for all of her driving career, which she bought new. I've had a few cars - the first was a '91 Explorer, followed by a brand new 2003 Maxima, and then a 1996 Ford Cobra with the factory Mystic (color-changing) paint. None of the cars are on the same level as the 330i in just about all terms - we love it!

I am an avid amateur-photographer, so I will be taking and posting pictures of the car regularly. Hopefully my Nikon D300 will do it some justice.

Cheers and glad to be a part of the forum!

welcome and congrats on the naturally aspirated 330i. i guess you can ignore all the HPFP threads so i'm not sure what you'll do here to entertain yourself. if you're lucky you'll start to get electrical gremlins like me!

Evil E90 · 07-24-2009, 05:50 PM

Welcome to you and your wife. This site can give you some great advice and entertainment. Yeah some pictures would really help. Most people here including myself like to see pics of BMW's.

Legato2057 · 07-24-2009, 05:53 PM

Congrats and enjoy the ride!

+1 on the pics!

Welcome and let me say you'll definitely enjoy the 330, especially since I see you have all the packages. ZSP is essential for fun.
