New member and first BMW

Illoosive · 05-31-2014, 11:56 PM

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to BMW and i am very proud of myself, at 23 this BMW will be my second car purchase with no help from parents which I am happy about. I had an 09 Altima and before that, a 94 Civic so i see this car as an achievement. Love this car and will never not drive a BMW again.
here it is e92 328i in Barbera Red Metallic MT with Nav

Looks awesome and congrats...one of the classiest color combos you can get on these cars.

GB-335xiCoupe · 06-01-2014, 12:13 AM

Nice car and welcome aboard!

joekitch · 06-01-2014, 02:31 AM

coupe
dark red
tan interior
proper sport package

please do not rice it, it needs nothing

EDIT: just realized its manual! holy shit keep that car until its wheels fall off!

e92_enthusiast_1 · 06-01-2014, 02:42 AM

Wow that color combo is nice. Grats.

bimmette · 06-01-2014, 02:47 AM

Congrats and welcome to the forum!!!

sjf430 · 06-01-2014, 05:14 AM

Congrats, and digging the interior, same as mine

DJtoad · 06-01-2014, 07:43 AM

Very nice! You don't see that color combo very often (at least not around here)

DOMs335D · 06-01-2014, 07:56 AM

That is a great find, I can probably count on one hand the number of 328i's with manual transmission I've seen so far. I am glad you chose that over a 335 for now, since their purchase price is only the beginning of the spending. The 328 is a lot more reliable in still an awesome ride.
Congrats on the ride!

I had my first taste of 3-series around your age (see below) and I also have never not driven a BMW since. Congrats - it's a sweet combo you found!

Personally, it's not for me. No offense to OP either.

I totally read that wrong the first time. I thought you said you haven't driven a BMW since...

I admit, ever since buying my Bimmer, I cringe whenever I have to drive my wife's 2012 RAV4. It's a nice little SUV with a quick little V6, don't get me wrong, BUT ugh...

No offense taken just glad it's not the usual black Grey or white that's always driving around.

Same here, I see my parents and I'm like "trust me guys, you'd be a lot happier in a bmw"

Thanks! Yeah I was going for the 335 at same dealer same options about the same price except a 30k mile difference. But took me about 3 months of patience and searching and found this beauty, well worth the wait.
