But yeah, LCI mods were perfect, it didnt change the composition of the car all too much (at least not that I noticed in driving it) but the LED turn signals and groves in the hood give it that little bit of distinction that kept it fresh without messing with a solid product... and now we have the F30, lol. I guess Im always going to be in debt against a car loan, ah well; worth it.
I really like the looks of the f30, but don't really understand why its even bigger than the e90, which is already fairly large. Oh well, I can't afford one, and I haven't been a BMW owner for long enough to have an opinion that truly matters. This is my first BMW, as I'm just a college student. I was only able to easily afford my car because my test scores paid for all my college expenses, which I had been saving up to pay for.
Out of the small list of cars I've driven, my e90 is probably in the top 5, and its definitely the best one I've owned. I'm already thinking of how long its going to take me to be able to afford the new m3/4 after I'm out (or who knows, maybe even the next generation after the f80). Then again, I don't have much brand loyalty, so if there's something that is more appealing to the yuppie me, then I'll get that.

haha, yeah I feel ya on that, I'm on a soldier's salary myself so the only way I've been able to afford them is by getting one thats a few years old and under 30,000. and YES, love the new M3, I was doing calculations myself the other night lmao.. too funny. But yeah, you better get some Brand loyalty (BMW), Its clearly the only wise choice there is

New to Dallas

Hey everyone! New to the area, finally back in a BMW and wanted to say hello. Hope to meet some of you around town and at some of the upcoming events. Where is the best place to get mods installed around here? Looking at getting a tune, full exhaust, FMIC, maybe that Pure stg1 turbo upgrade and etc soon. Is Dallas BMW a mod friendly dealership? Thanks for any recommendations

With past cars, I would do my oil changes and state inspections at the same place. Any recommendations for a state inspection in North Dallas? Autoscope? I don't have any mods BTW.

I get mine done wherever it's convenient, NTB, Speedee etc...


Off topic: Is anyone running michelin PSS in 265/30/19? I want to switch to them from 452's but I'm not sure how much wider the shoulders will be, so I'd like to see them in person.

Hey gents,

I posted a thread with the interest of trading my saddle interior for dakota black, I'm reposting it here on the "off chance" that someone local might be interested.
