New here + New BMW owner!
Hi all!
Just wanted to say hi. I actually remember seeing a run down in Marysville, Vic. on youtube and it mentions 1addicts, so i cruised up here! I've actually today taken a deposit dealership car - 125i + M sports + Sunroof. It's the same colour (Alpine White), and had the options i wanted and there she was at the dealer! I'm just waiting on work to do all the paperwork for the lease, but coming home this evening peering outside I saw her locked inside the prep area! Mind you, i'm quite excited It's my first BMW, traditionally having driven 2 WRX's over my whole driving career (being now 5 years ). The only reason i didn't go all the way to the 135 was insurance. Even without any claims and a NCD rating 1 for life, i was quoted at 4k a year. So i'll wait until i'm actually over 25. Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and i can't WAIT to take delivery - hopefully Sunday/Monday/Tuesday Any tips/first feelings you can share? |

Congratulations... A huge grin will go along with the excitement when you pickup your car and start to experience the BMW joy. I've had my car since Dec and still cannot wait to get in it every time I get a chance.

Thanks - the nickname confuses a few people haha! Apparently my dealer has upgraded me to "premium plates" - i'm hoping that'll be Euro! |

Cheers mate - yeah it looks absolutely fantastic on the Alpine White. Just sits perfectly on those rims. Can't wait to pick it up, I want it to be Monday/Tuesday next week already! It's going to be a looooong weekend, but the dealer said to drop in on Sunday and check her out again |
