New 328d Owner

**Operato8** · 01-15-2023, 11:16 AM

Well I just picked up my "new-to-me" 2014 328D M-Sport. I've been a VAG guy most of my car owning life, so this is my 1st time in a BMW. Last weekend I sold my Malone tuned 2014 VW Jetta Sportswagen that served me well for 3+ years. So well that I got hooked on diesel, but it was lacking one thing, that really makes living in Colorado easier...... AWD. So the search for a replacement option brought up the ONLY option available here in the US, the 328D. Missed out on a killer deal for a well modded car about a month ago, but I think I rebounded ok.

Before I actually picked up the car, I had already called my local dealer, and scheduled the EGR, and HPFP recall service. Looking to add an Oil change and DEF flush while it's in (DEF warning came on while driving home).

Oddly enough this is another red car for me (honestly wasn't concerned about color).

Already received my KermaTDI package (waiting until after the recall work to install). I splurged on an intake (I know the gains are minimal if not non-existent) to me it's a aesthetic mod like many of the others that have no performance gains. The wheels in the photo didn't come with the car, the previous owner took them off (saved me 1K). I already have new winter wheels on order, and the tires arrived the other day. For the summer I plan on finding the same style JR11's I had on my Audi and adding them with summer tires.

Glad to be onboard!
