New guy here... hey all

Well after driving an Acura TL and an Infiniti G35xS, i finally went the way I should have 2 cars ago... 2010 335i M/Sport package + other stuff. I have got to say, I now see what all the hype is about Bimmers! Solid car, smooth ride, awesome acceleration and wicked handling make them top notch. I don't think I have stopped smiling since driving home lastnight

Anyways, just wanted to drop in and say hi... looking forward to meeting some of the PNW guys in the future. Here is a couple of pictures of my sexy vixen...

congrats and welcome. nice color choice (my 1st choice) - my wife always chooses black and every car we have is black (sometimes boring).

a few months ago, there was a group buy for tints @ seattle accutint, NOT bellevue accutint. as far as I'm aware, that's still THE place to get it done. Ask Johnny Lin about it. I'm sure he'll drop a message on this thread sometime this weekend. He's the resident expert and mayor. =]

I have always wanted the silver... hides dirt and dings perfectly! Thanks for the tip on the Accutint. I will check them out and see if Johnny posts anything else.

Congrats!

Yeah, nice balance of luxury / power!!

After owning 10 cars or so..I will say trips in the BMW don't wear you out + the Great Mpg. ( coming from WRX/STI ) I would never see over 23mpg, last trip I saw 28mpg avg. 70-80mph too!

Enjoy the new Ride !!

Accutint charges ALOt for tint. I go to a local guy in kent (extreme car audio and tint) ask for JAY and tell him Derrick sent you. you will be a price probably half as much as accutint.
