Default First time BMW owner

How's it going guys. I've been lurking on this forum for a while now as I was researching exactly what I wanted to get for my first BMW. Tons of information and insight...Thanks for that! I previously owned a G35 Sedan with some mods and prior to that had a tuned VW GLI. I decided on a Jet Black 2010 535i with M Sport package. I ended up getting a CPO'd one as well as negotiated the Service throughout the 6/100k period into the deal.

First night I had it I installed the Cobb Motorsport flash. WOW...what a difference. Then found a set of 19" 172's (went back and forth between those or the Miro 111's) on CL and scored them for $500!! I don't think that the place I got them realized what they had. Just had them installed today and am loving the look. I'll post up some pics once the weather clears up here in CA and I have a chance to clean it up and snap some.

Take care,

Brian

Sounds good man. Make sure you change the oil more often than the 15k recommended by BMW (I vote every 5k) and once the car goes north of 100k you won't be replacing every seal under the hood.

Welcome to the community.

(BTW I switched from Infiniti --> BMW, and after a few months in the BMW you realize that the Infiniti is just a copy ... albeit a very good one ... it is just a copy.)
