My First 3-series!

Dwn2earth610 · 05-21-2008, 01:59 PM

im new to this forum and i just bought my first bmw last week, and honestly i could be happier. its not the fastest but its way more fun that my truck lol. i got it used 2006, 26K miles and just over $20k! the only problem is i was just wondering about a few thing and was looking for some help... the guy at the dealership told me it was le mans blue but after looking at the color thread on here i think it is closer to Mystic Blue... what do you guys think?also can you tell if it has the sport package/m... or what ever its called. here are some pics i just took (i know it needs to be cleaned lol)

doobie · 05-21-2008, 02:01 PM

sorry no sports package, you can tell by the stearing wheel.

david @ eas · 05-21-2008, 02:10 PM

Congrats on the new car! It looks like your badges are coming off on the rear... Are you trying to take them off during the picture? Interesting

JOYRIIDE1113 · 05-21-2008, 02:14 PM

No, that is not le mans blue. It also has no Sport Package. Did the dealer not go over this with you?

AU335 · 05-21-2008, 02:17 PM

You can always check the color by popping the hood up and look at the Badge on the underside of the hood. It states the paint color.

badge looks really weird, like someone is making a joke. 32i ??? the i is right next to the 2, so its not like the 5 just fell off.

thats what i was thinking too.. that or the 5 might have came off and they just moved the i closer lol. some people are just plain strange...

darkphantom · 05-21-2008, 02:31 PM

Congrats! I was initially going to say, why no paddles? then I noticed it's a 32i...hehe just messing w/ ya.

Debadge or just get the 5 put back on.

Congrats, and did you look up the history of the car? is it clean?

Dwn2earth610 · 05-21-2008, 02:34 PM

ya its very clean. and the history is all good. never any problems. its all debadged and smooth now.

matt_435xi · 05-21-2008, 02:35 PM

first mod: upgrade those baby sized 16" wheels! that will DRAMATICALLY change the look of your new ride! congrats!! (followed by a nice tint job)

Castratikron · 05-21-2008, 02:42 PM

Congrats, & welcome! (can I do that? welcome people, when I'm so new? OF COURSE I CAN! why not?)

she's lovely...

Dwn2earth610 · 05-21-2008, 02:42 PM

i plan on getting these rims but coated black...

or...

these and leave them the color they are...

StoneCold · 05-21-2008, 02:45 PM

Congras bro.....got mine first 3 series two months ago as well.

continentalg5 · 05-21-2008, 02:51 PM

Is that a new model, the 32i? Just kidding, either get a "5" or "8", whichever applies or, just debadge it completely.

uhaulball · 05-21-2008, 02:55 PM

it is mystic blue. an 06 blue. montego replaced it with the newer models in 07 and 08, and LeMans blue u cant even get in the states. And as stated no sports pack. go with the m6 reps instead of 162. better looking and lighter

LI E90 · 05-21-2008, 03:16 PM

obviously no ZSP, you can tell by the4 seats and the bitty 16's

the wheels you are looking at are stock 330/335 18" style 162
the others are 18 or 19" M6 reps

looking good best of luck

shragon · 05-21-2008, 03:42 PM

nice 32i!

you should consider debadging the rest of the numbers.

shragon · 05-21-2008, 03:43 PM

btw... your car should be mystic blue.

jaespark87 · 05-21-2008, 04:29 PM

rofl on the "32i"
but good idea on 162s, or the m6 reps. you can also put 189's, they looked pretty darn clean on one of members E90's
