My First BMW

[Ry330i]

Since I was about fifteen years old I have wanted a powerful 3 series or M3 BMW. I have always been a fan of the exterior design of the E 46 & 36 and the interior details of each model (design and technology). Finally after waiting eleven years and three years out of college I have purchased my first 3 series of which I am very proud of.

Initially I really wanted a 330i coupe or 335i coupe, but after reading many reviews regarding the HPFP on the 335, I chose to seek out a 330i. Within a few days I found a 2006 immaculate condition 330i Coupe with 48,000 miles. Black leather interior, 6 speed manual, sport package, premium package and heated seats. I am not a fan of the iDrive system for many reasons so I was actually happy that was not installed.

After a few weeks of driving I have to say the car is pretty amazing. It's suspension handling and responsive engine make it a joy to drive each and every day.

Congrats, nice car. Lose the front plate holder though, it doesn't look nice.

I would love to remove the front plate but the previous owner already drilled holes in the bumper for it. :rolleyes

Grab some nice SS aircraft grade bolts to put in the holes...will blend in with your color and look much cleaner than the plate holder.

Some Supporting Vendors on this site sell bumper plugs color matched to your bumper.
