My first BMW (of hopefully many to come)

A2135 · 02-12-2012, 11:39 PM

I just picked it up last week. It's a 2009 CPO and quite a step up from my old 1.8 Jetta

I bought it from a dealer in Grand Rapids, MI.. the previous owner took pretty damn good care of this car. It's such a beast! Anyway, I'm a long-time lurker but it's cool to finally join.

Welcome! Get ready to spend money. I thought I wouldn't...

Jaymax85 · 02-16-2012, 10:52 PM

If u don't mind me asking how much was it and what options did it have? I'm in the market

IancoleTX · 02-24-2012, 10:07 AM

Nice grab, she's a beaut. Step 1: blackout grille

datbimmerdoe · 02-24-2012, 10:47 AM

congrats & welcome!

Great decision. I graduated from a G35 to my current 135i and haven't looked back. BMWs really are the ultimate driving machine.

Some cheap(er) mods that you can do to start off are:

clear side markers w/ chrome bulbs
matte black grill
tint windows
colored roundels
debadge
lower it

Enjoy it. You've got a blank canvas, time to get started!

Sorry for the delay, was on vacation. It's a 2009 CPO with only m-sport, ~40k miles, maintenance package, and I paid 28k. I think I paid an average price?

A2135 · 04-01-2012, 01:18 PM

A more recent, dirtier picture. The previous owner took good care of this car. It's got light tint and a carbon fiber spoiler. There was slight expected wear on the driver's side seat but other than that it was pretty mint. I just ordered a replacement amp for the HiFi amp and I'm also thinking about a catless downpipe.. and a radar detector. Ugh.. this is getting expensive!
