new member - Brisbane

Hi Guys,

Thought id say hi and introduce myself.
My name is Phill, and im located in Brisbane (Southside)
I picked up my 12/08 135 a bit over a month ago, traded up from a 325ci.
Love it so far, great car, really cool to be in something quick again.
Over the past month ive added a few bits & Pieces - DCI, JB+ & CT,
19" Staggered Stance wheels, had the rear guards rolled, new pedals and gloss back kidney grills.
exhaust is next, then upgrade the stereo....that'll probably be it for a while.

im sure ill be hitting you guys up for info from time to time, and hopefully see
a few of you on the streets of Brisvegas....
cheers
Phill

Welcome! Your car is 1 month newer than mine

Good to see another BMS member. Why the JB+ over the JB4 though?

What options did you car come with? I can see Pro Nav and Sunroof.

opted for the JB+ as it was cheaper probably should have gone for the 4 in retrospect, but hey.

extras....apart from the Nav & glass roof, im not sure tbh. oh, i discovered
the i-drive has the hard drive with it (still loaded with random choir music )
its got the iphone dock thingy, but i don't use it. im not sure what the point of it is, apart from being a charger.

cheers

Always go for the mod that makes more power!

I think Terry is clever in marketing the JB+. I think anyone that buys one eventually ends up buying the real deal JB4 and ends up spending more $$$ in the end. Power is addictive.

You have the 2 most expensive options and the 2 I couldn't personally live without as it's my daily driver. Very unique colour combo too.

Choir music loaded on the hard drive is a strange thought, I can't seem to picture someone listening to that whilst blasting WOT!

your right there....clever marketing indeed.
cheers, i personally wouldn't have picked the this spec if ordered new, but it
was a good price with pretty low K's (40)
the interior colour too....def not my thing, but its growing on me.
this is the first auto ive ever owned too which is different, but i don't mind it.
its a daily driver, its fine for what i use it for.

ha, yeah, the choir music was a shock. it was a country car, 1 previous female owner with horrid taste in music. i guess that's why it has the base sound system....the upgrade wouldnt have made it sound any better.
