Hey everyone!
So after a long, exhaustive search I'm finally fully qualified as a member of this forum. Thanks to Jayely on here for selling his very well maintained 2007 335i e92! It was a bit of a haul to fly out to IL to pick it up - had a fun 850+ mile drive to get home. It was a a good way to get to know the vehicle though and all I can say is "wow"! What a fun drive - an absolutely amazing machine! I've definitely made a hell of leap from a falling apart honda prelude! Anyway, this is just to say hey to everyone - I'm looking forward to joining up with some of you all and meeting people who truly know what they're doing! I don't have too much of a car background (learned what little I know from trying to keep the prelude alive) - but I've decided to learn. This forum has been a great help in that too; a lot of good information, been reading pretty much non stop since I found it (my girlfriend things I'm a bit obsessive ) So yeah, I'll be checking in regularly, and I'm looking forward to whatever the next local meet&greet is. I'm located out in Columbia btw - will register with the sticky. And now, some point and shoot pictures (getting some hi-res soon I hope) after getting a quick wash in to get all the bugs off of it (I was like the bug terminator after 800 miles): Tiag, Black leather, Alum trim, CA, Nav, Cold Weather. Mods so far: M3 spoiler Sport pedals Next on the plate: Reflector delete Tint CDV delete (if I can find some help with that hah!) Possibly debadging as well. Interior LEDs (Anyone want to recommend here - Sonic Tuner vs HPB?) Eventaully I want to go OSS Possibly drop it a bit and then new shoes (a ways down the road) Last edited by RitterGT; 07-16-2011 at 09:12 PM.. |

Looks like we got another tiag e92 in the area! You don't see too many tiag e92 in the area. Welcome to an elite group ;-).

Welcome. Nice ride.
Enjoy it, mod it at your convenience, and don't let the ATM "addicted to modding" crowd wear you down into just doing things, because the ATM crowd eventually hits the ATM for all of their modding, and that would be a financial and emotional drain on your ATM needs! LOL OBTW, I installed a Quaife diff as my first mod....

Congrats on the car! I am surprised you had to search that far for an e92 in good shape! I did the same thing, though, for a car at one point. I flew to Chicago and drove it back. Definitely a fun experience!

We usually have weekly or biweekly hooters meets here in rockville with locals. Then every other friday night there is a large "all car types" meet in rockville as well. This past friday we had over 100+ cars of all types. Many N54 cars as well!

Read the threads below to understand the dynamics of a true diff, whether it be a plate or gear type torque biasing diff. First and best mod I have ever made. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311570 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=379775
