Finally made the purchase...

YellowMellow · 09-25-2010, 04:49 PM

2011 328 xDrive, Premium, Convenience, Value.

It'll be my wife's daily driver. Sorry, not the best pic but you get the idea. Sweet ride...better than my E46 M3 Cab? Nah

Questions:
1) Whats the largest tire size I can put on the OEM 17s? I think its wearing 225-45-17 run flat rubber
2) I'd like to carry my dog in the back - is there a cargo liner that goes higher to the side? He is a lab and tends to shed a lot.

YellowMellow · 09-25-2010, 04:55 PM

Dude thats not cool.

Congrats on the new car -- looks really nice!

JuppiOne · 09-25-2010, 05:28 PM

nice! I think the 3 series wagon is prob the best wagon around, even better than the A4 avant IMO

donsgolf2012 · 09-25-2010, 05:45 PM

black grills. you could probably find a trunk liner made for dogs.

YellowMellow · 09-25-2010, 05:53 PM

Thanks everyone for the kind words... My wife really loves the new ride.

ChuckBMW3 · 09-25-2010, 05:55 PM

That's a good looking wagon!!

YellowMellow · 09-25-2010, 09:50 PM

The car has the OEM 17 inch rims with 225-45-17 tires.

Do you think I can go with 255-40-17 tires?

WWONG · 09-25-2010, 10:02 PM

That's pretty legit. You must have one happy wife!

Single-t · 09-25-2010, 10:18 PM

Regardless of the negative comments...if you get your wife in a "somewhat" sporty bimmer so that when you have to drive her ride to family events you're doing a THOUSAND times better than those who are stuck riding in their wife's Caravan to the next family reunion!
Good luck!

py335 · 09-25-2010, 10:27 PM

congrats!

YellowMellow · 09-25-2010, 11:05 PM

Thanks guys! She didn't want a big SUV but we need the room to haul our dogs.
It maneuvers around town really well and is a good fit for our garage too. :-)

TheStigsTwin · 09-25-2010, 11:54 PM

I like the ride, very nice!

roundle · 09-26-2010, 01:37 AM

Nice wagon. We just picked up a 2011 328iT 6 spd w/ ZSP. After 5k miles, love it.

As for the pups, this might help:

Absolutely! The saddest thing I see is some poor guy riding shotgun in the minivan with his wife driving.

LOL, I have a 328xiT on order for my dogs as well (4 basenjis) - needed room for their crates!

Nice! We may look into that. MSRP is $320 from BMW - I wonder where I can find a better price??

It would be cool if there was something like that for the cargo area.
