First time BMW Owner

The703 · 02-24-2014, 05:17 PM

Hey, current college student here in NOVA!
I just traded in my 2011 mk6 2.5l jetta SE for a 2008 328i with convenience, sports package, peanut butter interior and im loving every second of it.

Im not too big on having my car looking bone stock so i just got a 20% tint on it and im planning to tint the tail lights too.

im thinking about blacking out the grill too... anyone have any ideas on what to do next cosmetically?

excited about my bmw!

Grats, bro. Paint match reflectors and a spoiler if that's what you like. I just got an oem m3 one and i love the look.

Those rims are outstanding, I need them on my car haha.

Definitely lower it though.

I make some money through music, fortunately enough to pick this bad boy up.
MUSIC LINK
BEWARE! RAP!!!

Nice pick up!

I've always been a huge fan of those wheels.

I'd say don't do the tails, but that's just me.

Other than that, black grilles, black window trim, front aero lip, and rear spoiler

Good luck and congrats!

bimmette · 02-24-2014, 06:50 PM

Welcome and congrats on the nice car!
I also think you should get the m3 rear spoiler.
And awesome music!! Wow!

Calm down.

It was a reference to a guy on YouTube and if you understood it, you would have laughed your ass off.

He was a guy on YouTube that received cars from overseas and he recorded terrible reviews of them.

His catchphrase was "cocaine white" interior.

BenchRacerYo · 02-24-2014, 07:39 PM

Also, you won't last long here if something like that offended you enough to brand me as a "douche".

ken1137 · 02-24-2014, 07:40 PM

Congrats! Pls do the window trim black if you black out the grille.

@ Palestine, if I went to school in Canada my parents would've bought me a BMW. University in Canada is so inexpensive.

In state tuition is also not expensive man. Plus my parents didn't pay anything for my tuition. I had to pay everything by myself

Don't buy shadow trim, just 100% tint it. That's how I did mine and you'd never be able to tell.

OP, congrats on the car! Very sexy! I have the same (rims, options, etc.) but it is 2007 and silver. Just curious, if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay and what were the mileage?

BMW's are affordable now if you stick with the 2006-2007 e90/e92. Here in Tampa, FL, you can pick up a very good condition e90 for around 11-12k. If this is financed, that is not much compared to buying a lower model civic, corolla, or even kia, which are what some college students are driving. I just purchased my 2007 328i coupe (convenience, premium, and sports) with 80k miles in excellent condition from a large dealer for only $13,800. I would rather drive this than a new corolla

The703 · 02-25-2014, 01:28 AM

I payed $18,000 with 75k miles on the car. Great shape.
