Just picked up my first BMW
Back in September I bought a 2010 Subaru WRX STi. I drove it for a few months but didn't really enjoy it. It was a very harsh, loud ride. The turbo lag was pretty bad. Interior was cheap and rattled like crazy
I started looking at getting something else. I drove through my local BMW dealer and they had an 05 e46 M3. The car had 70000 KM on it and was very clean. Only problem was some of the rims were rashed and the front bumper needed paint. We came to a deal on the car and they agreed they would have the front bumper painted and rims fixed.  When I went to pick up that car, the front bumper looked like it had been spray painted. I was very upset and asked for a $400 price reduction so I could get the paint taken car of myself. They wouldnt so I walked away I kept looking and finally found another vehicle. It is a CPO 2008 335i 6 spd. White on black dakota leather. Sports and Premium packages. USB Audio I picked the car up Tuesday and I couldn't be happier!   |

Ive had a few cars previous I've modded It started with a 99 Buick regal GS. Smaller supercharger pulley and I actually ran 13.8 @105mph in the 1/4 mile Then I had an 07 Cobalt SS which was highly modified I had a Cobb AP and full exhaust on the Subaru I'm actually very happy with the BMW in full stock form, but we will see how long that lasts |

Congrats on your new ride and welcome!
I also just bought my first BMW...over five years ago... Teaser pics to pique your interest and inspire your modding bug, borrowed from various forum members for your viewing pleasure.  Second pic is not an e90, but it shows off possible shoe and tint considerations...LOL
