    So I'm new to this forum process and need some advice, suggestions, recommendations....after much thought and deliberation I decided to pull the trigger on a z4 35i. Drove it and loved it. I want a convertible and was tossing between this and a 650. I know completely different machines but in the end decided for a 2011 z4. Anything I need to be aware of or look out for? Any input would be appreciated.

    Suggestion

    Hi, welcome. I suggest checking out the forum wheel and tire section and study up on run-flat tires if you have not already. Assume you have those.

    dg0043, Thanks for the recommendation. Truth be told, I'm picking out the car next week, so I haven't gotten it yet. But, is there something I need to look out for regarding the run flats? Thanks

    Hi again. Too much to cover. But if you have not had run flats, suggest you read forum info on it. Issues like carry spare? Flat repair stuff? Towing insurance coverage? Might have zero issues, but driving a car without a spare is different in many ways.

    Back to Bimmer

    Hey All!

    Just bought my second BMW, back in the seat after a 6 year hiatus. Can't be happier, and although I found this forum looking for a solution, I think a proper introduction is due first!

    Well, I've been a motor head for as long as I could remember. My first car was an 86 6cyl Camaro which I transformed into a 8cyl 550hp beast...of course still sporting the 2.8 badging. When gas prices spiked after 2001 during college my father surprised me and found an old 88 E30 (325e) which replaced the Camaro as a daily driver. I loved that car but it was in its twilight days. After an unfortunate incident with 3ft of snow and a guard rail, the car became hopeless, I fixed it but the impact caused more problems then first seen.

    Low on cash, I junked the E30 and gave in with a 98 Honda Civic. Great car but it was no Bimmer, not even an old E30. After six loyal years (btw the Camaro died a slow painful death in storage to close to the ocean) the Honda gave signs of death. I did some driveway repairs (very inexpensive), but over the past month it just started collapsing...this is actually an awesome car story on its own. I started looking for cars, wanting nothing more then to be back in the luxury of a BMW, and scored myself a mint (and I mean mint) 2006 325xi E90 with every single option I would have put on a new car if I ordered it and had no limits on cash. A few problems came up, I googled it, and here I am!

I have been a BMW fan for a long time and I have finally been able to purchase my first one and I couldnt be more excited.

    Hey guys. Bought my first ever BMW last month - moved up from my JCW Mini Cooper. Got a 2011 335d from a dealer in Houston (my buddy who lives in H-town helped me). Car had 39 miles on it and was loaded. Flew to Houston on a Saturday morning, picked up the car the same evening and drove it back to Jacksonville FL on Sunday. The almost 900 mile road trip made me fall in love with the car. If I can sum up the 335d in one word, I would choose "Torquasm".

    2007 328i HTC gold

    My new e93

    After months of research I bought a beautiful gold/bronze 328i conv Sport Package.
    Paid 24k for 2007 55k, and added extended warranty.
    Looking to learn lots from the forums.
    I learned why oil temperature is more important than other measurements.
    My big question is preventative maintenance for the amazing convertible top.
    By the way fabulous driving response and plenty of speed.....
    I have rft on front only, 18 inch wheels-surprisingly good ride as well as very sticky on the bends!

    Hey guys! Just wanted to introduce myself as a new, proud first-time BMW owner. I was between the A4 and the 328i but the BMW dealership near me was trying to get rid of the 2011s so I picked up a new 2011 335i w/xDrive for the same price and haven't looked back since!

    Coming from a 2003 Honda Civic, this has slightly more... everything. Looking forward to becoming a part of the awesome community here on BimmerForums!

    2008 328i Coupe

    Soon-To-Be 2008 328i Coupe Owner

    Hello Forum Members,
    I am purchasing a 2008 328i Coupe this weekend and wanted to join the forum as I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. I live in Fort Worth. I am choosing a coupe that is not certified because it meets all of the things I want except the sport package. It still has saddle leather, 18 inch wheels, and may in fact have the sport package as the independent dealer lists that it does. But I had my friend at the BMW dealership look it up and he said it does not. As a BMW dealer, I'll go with whatever he says. Even if it doesn't have the sports package it's $5k to $6k less than a certified coupe with the sport package I was comparing it to. I can't wait!!!!!

    E92 335i
    I just picked up an E92 335i about 3 weeks ago, so I've been searching for various car forums to join. Nearly every car I've owned has been twin-turbo from the factory, so I've always wanted to get one of these ever since they came out.







    Some previous cars:

    2011 335is Coupe

    Hello from Toronto, Ontario, Canada Ah!

    Hello all,

    I have been a member since 2010, but I have not been on because I did not see much about the 335i on here at the time.


    So I been on another forum because they had more on the N54 twin turbo, but lately it has been a little out of control with misinformation, and banning members that do not deserver to be, they only wanted to make sure the correct information gets out.


    Anyways I am back, and now I own a very nice 2011 335is coupe which I upgraded from a 2008 335i coupe, and I must say I really love this version, it's a lot more powerfully and smoother then the 2008 and both are/was 6MT and it's a lot better then the DCT transmission IMHO!


    Here are some pic of the old then the new they both are BSM.

    First 2 is of the 2008, and the last 2 is the 2011 335is.

    '06 330i
    Finally decided it was time to move on from my '97 328i, so I just picked up an '06 330i. Car has the 6MT, premium, sports, and cold weather packages, no iDrive. Only had it a couple of days so far, but it drives beautifully.

    This is my 3rd Bimmer, after the 328i and an '88 325i.

    And if you know anyone who's looking for a well-used E36......

    Smile Introduction

    Hi Everyone!

    Just joined the forums, although it's been about 10 months since I purchased my BMW.

    I am from Southwestern Ontario, traveling about 80km to work (one way)... really racks up the odometer!

    I own a 2007 BMW 328i in Jet Black. Aside from everything stock, the only thing I have done is 15% Pinnacle tinting.

    Planned modifications:
    - Rims (19") (replace my winter w/stock rims with new ones)
    - Headlights and Taillights
