Hey guys,
Negatives...
Before I picked up the bimmer, I requested that the Dealer's sticker not to be stuck onto the back of my vehicle, however, it was, no problem just had the guy take it off
Driving off the lot, i backed into a pylon...was soo freaking nervous...pdc ringing ringing......thank god it was just a pylon
Driving back home this guy darts out to my lane since the guy infront of him was suddenly making a left turn causing me to brake slightly harder than i wanted (break in period) and the guy behind me almost rear ended me....whew!
Positives.... words can only say so much -
Cosmectics
OMG...it looks beautiful....the platty grey..love it....i thought i wouldn\t like the wheels the stock xi....but in person..many because of the shine, but damn...they really looked great..pleasantly surprised....
DS mode....man, i know it was break in period but shit......i gave it a little boost and that just gave me such an adrenaline rush...felt soooo good...i wasn't really a car enthusiast before this as i never really had such a powerful car.....now i can see i can see what it is like...it isn't JUST a car....wow....driving releases dophine or some chemcal in my body and makes me FEEL GOOD
that is all for now........
I Hope you all can share your experiences on your first day night with your BIMMER

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!
I was hoping others would describe their first day with their vehicle.
It is great that one can share their joys with others through the forum.
