My First Bimmer!
A little background… So, I've always been a fan of the E90 and E92 body style since they first released, However I've never had the means to purchase one, that is until I joined the military (ARMY) back in 2011. Shortly after joining, I would be getting sent overseas to my first duty station, Korea. The entire tour all I could think about was the money that I was saving and what model Bimmer would be right for me. I decided on an E92 335i, however once I got orders to Colorado, a RWD twin-turbo sports car didn't seem like the right idea, mainly because I need a car that I could use all year round. So here I am now….
07' 328i MONACO BLUE -51,XXX (WHEN PURCHASED) -IDRIVE -HIFI -COLD WEATHER PACKAGE -GREY DAKOTA LEATHER -OLD LADY (LAWYER) WAS PREVIOUS OWNER NaySideFront by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Front by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Album Cover E90 Version by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Nay by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr MODS SO FAR: -GOLD STR LM REPS -LAMIN-X YELLOW FOG COVERS (I KNOW MY FRONT BUMPER IS TRASHED ON THE BOTTOM, THAT'S FROM TRYING TO LOWER A CAR IN COLORADO SPRINGS) Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr Untitled by Armyboy_brodo, on Flickr FUTURE MOD LIST: -SONIC TUNING CSL TRUNK -LCI TAILS -FULL BLACKOUT/LS3 HEADLIGHTS -MTECH REAR W/ CF QUAD DIFFUSER -FULL CUSTOM CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH QUADS (not the fake quads) -STAGE 3 SOUND SYSTEM -STAGE 3 INTAKE -AA TUNE Stay tuned to see my progress.

I figured that the gold would go nicely with the dark blue. Guess it payed off. Thanks What do you mean exactly by suspension, what suspension mods do you suggest? Thanks! |

Thanks man, it truly was an amazing feeling (still is). It's also a big change up from the cars I'm used to 1982 Monte Carlo/ 1983 Buick Regal/ 1997 Buick Century. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to drop her just yet. It's about to be snowing and my car already scrapes enough on the daily, hince the front bumper. |

Hey Army dude! your first pic... first rule of having a new car never park frontal like that... we all hate curbs & bump stops no matter how high your car is or better yet when you lower your car... but dang! what kind of lens are you using with those camera... your shots are very sharp!

I think the xi sedan is the hardest to find in a manual (it could be the xi wagon also)

Congrats on your purchase, interestingly enough my first car was a '91 Buick Century so I'm no stranger to them.
