Hi all,

Not a BMW owner yet (sorry), but looking to buy my first one shortly.

I joined just to say thank you for the Big Motoring World thread - I was pointed in direction of it by a friend and I think I dodged a bullet as we had almost decided to buy from them.

In terms of what will be filling the space in front of the house it will most likely be an E91 320i - not the most exciting of cars, but a reasonable upgrade for us and a worthy successor to the stolen Volvo S40.

I've been a fan of BMWs since my dad bought an '84 E30 318i in "Bronzit beige" (metallic brown-ish) at some point in the late nineties - I'm quite excited to have one of my own even if it isn't quite the dream spec.

Returning to the fold!

Coming back to BMW ownership after being unfaithful for the last few years!

Just said goodbye to my beloved Porsche 911 Carrera 4 after 2 years (getting on a bit in terms of age and mileage and costing a bomb to maintain) and got an 07 330i M Sport Coupe in Le Mans blue

This is my 6th BM after an E36, E39, Z3, E46 and E39 again in that order!

Also had Mercs, a Saab 9-3 Convertible and currently also have an 2010 XC90 as the family barge.

No pics yet as not had daylight and weather!

Here's a montage of all my previous rides up to the Volvo and Porsche and of course the e92. Some pics are of my actual car, some are representative from google!

Just purchased a 2006 e90 320d m sport... Love the motor and the prestige, however I'm having an issue with bluetooth. I have established that it's not standard and my pro head unit doesn't give me the option for telephone. However I have a microphone wired in the roof!!! Is this standard or should I be able to connect via Bluetooth?
Only aux jack in the centre console. Without knowing very much about the whole system I am assuming it was an after market job and the previous owner removed the main system or I'm just guessing and I haven't got a clue, any advice is much appreciated.

Hi, I'm new to this site, but I've been lurking for awhile.

I have a platinum bronze metallic e90. It currently has a Helix FMIC, Forge diverter valves, BMS DCI, and it will have AR catted DP's, but I'm waiting to get new ones because the first pair didn't fit correctly. I'll be running Cobb S2+ aggressive map (possibly an e85 tune).

Hi all. Just purchased a black 07 335i MSport saloon. Needed something family able but quick after selling my Z4M Coupe recently. Before that I owned a Z4 3.0 roadster, E46 330i Sport and a 2.8 Z3.

Love my BMWs, Audi's/Mercs dont ever quite match up and I'm looking forward to using the 335. Plan on a remap and maybe a custom exhaust at some point. Maybe ditch the rft's too although may live with them for a while as I hear ok things about the Bridgestones.

First BMW

Hi all,

I've had my E91 330d M Sport for about a month and 2000 miles now and although it's not my first RWD is is my first BMW. I have to say I'm loving the feel of the car after coming from an Audi A4.

Smile Hello everybody :-)

Hello everybody, I currently have a 320i black coupe which I have had for around 9 months - love the car and enjoy doing some upgrades myself.

Had the EML and few times with coils and no2 sensor replaced. Ive been told that your not a BMW owner until you've had a yellow light

I had used several guides on here and hope to contribute to the board.
