Guest norsairius Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I saw this forum mentioned in the regional section at Bimmerforums (though I'm more active at Bimmerfest's forums) and I thought I'd join in and say hey! I'm not new to cars and I have a reputation among my friends and family for even being a bit crazy about them. I like to discuss the more technical stuff about cars more so than most of my friends, so it's always nice to find enthusiasts here and there. I am however, new to the BMW world. Prior to getting my car I had only driven a friend's BMW Z4 way back probably around 2005-2006 and it was simply awesome. I've since had my fair share of cars, but none of them even come close to the driving experience my car delivers, so I'm quite happy to be here! I picked up a 2009 BMW 328i xDrive earlier this month from Concours BMW and I've enjoyed it every day since then. I always look forward to having excuses to go out for a drive! It had to spend the night at the dealership for the battery cable recall and to replace the "gladhand" on the passenger side though. The dealership gave me a 2013 328xi as a loaner and I was actually happy to have my car back (that's another story in itself)! Anyway, just introducing myself. Hello everyone!

Guest norsairius Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks! No good pics yet! I'm hoping to get some better pics tomorrow (er, later today?) if the weather permits. Forecast is looking pretty good, so I'll hopefully get to snap a few pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest norsairius Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Got a some pics of the car on this grey Milwaukee morning! I'm sure you've all seen an E92 before, but here's mine! The car is completely stock. The only modification I have planned right now are black kidney grilles. Any sites that members around here like to order from for their cars?

Its a great place for photo shoots! That's funny! Don't know if you're the guy who gave me the keys to the F30, but I dropped my car off first thing in the morning this past Wednesday and made a remark how funny it was that McLovin's ID was used as the example pic on that placard that showed everything you needed on hand for a loaner car. But my main complaints on the F30 are that the steering is too light, though still precise and not necessarily numb, and the turbo 4 just doesn't sound that good. It is otherwise perfectly capable of hauling ass and the car still handles very well. That and I wouldn't mind the better gas mileage. The E9x just feels more engaging to drive. Wow someone actuall read the wi bord in Bimmer forums? Sweet car what building is in the back groundYeah, as CYoung said, it's the Milwaukee Art Museum. It was featured in Transformers 3, been in a few Victoria's Secret commercials, and been the set for a lot of automotive brochure/advertisement photoshoots. The staff there said that Hyundai and Porsche regularly use the space. YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be a shame to see it go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be anyone of my co-workers then as I work evenings over there. Maybe Zach will recognize you at a meet. Next time you get a F30, put the driving dynamics to Sport (toggle switch next to the shifter), that will tighten up the electric steering and suspension. I agree the engine doesn't sound great either, but all the new turbo engines are lacking in noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest norsairius Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. No real plans yet except potentially a black kidney grille inserts and LED angel eye lights. No rush to do them though. I feel like I've seen your red E92 around, but I can't remember where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Love the influx of E92's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
