First BMW...09 328xi

b-man · 01-18-2013, 09:26 AM

Just purchased my first a few days ago. Here are some pictures. Love it so far!

Sethism · 01-18-2013, 11:25 AM

I'm with you- just picked up a 2009 E92 328i Xdrive. Looks good, and good weather to play in an AWD!

techy1 · 01-18-2013, 11:52 AM

welcome... 328i here =)

MrDummy · 01-18-2013, 12:06 PM

Welcome I have a 2010 328i myself but rwd only...

Lovely car my friend..

Thrakos · 01-18-2013, 01:01 PM

..09 328xi as well here! ..and with the snow we've gotten over the past week, it has already paid for itself! How many miles? options?

b-man · 01-18-2013, 01:18 PM

30k miles on it. I think I have the premium package. I never looked at new BMWs so I don't know what's standard in the car, but I'll list what I think might be extra:

Heated seats, mirrors, steering wheel and washer jets
Aux and ipod usb
3rd button by the mirror control to fold the mirrors
Power everything
Seats with lumber support
HDC
16" runflats

6 speed steptronic
Bluetooth
wood trim with tan leather

I will post pictures of the interior when I get a chance.

I have 3 year old and I wasn't sure if spending over 20K for a car was worth it, but it definitely was. Love the car!

It's 328i X but anyway good choice. Get some mods ASAP!

For some reason it became a habit to write 328xi, but you're right it is 328i xDrive.

What mods would you recommend? There is warranty on the car so I wouldn't want to change anything that would void the warranty. And performance>looks for me.

It snowed the day after I got the car. It was awesome, especially with heated seats and steering wheel

Thanks!

bimmerjmac · 01-21-2013, 08:49 AM

beauty!

I have summer runflats too - it's a great option if you can purchase
tire and rim insurance - my dealership offered either BMW or a 3rd party
I took the 3rd party at about $1300 over 4 years. About a week after I
bought the car I changed out the summers for winters and the tech noticed
that one of the runflats had a nail in it - got it replaced with the coverage.
