New 1 series/bmw owner

siegester · 07-17-2011, 11:35 AM

Hey Guys,

Just pulled the trigger yesterday and purchased an 08 135i with 17,xxx miles on it.

I don't have any pics that I've taken yet, but once I her washed, waxed etc I'll post up some pics.

Does anyone have any other 1 series/bmw sites they would recommend? This is my first BMW so I have a lot to learn!

Thanks!

Congratulations. I really like the angle and light of this photograph...it shows every single line of the car! Welcome!

Congrats on the new ride.

Thanks all. Finally went through today and got all the settings set up how I like.

However, I was very unhappy when trying to save names with the bluetooth voice commands. The manual is completely wrong on so many voice commands. For example it states that you should say "store name" when the command is really "save name".

After 15minutes of yelling at the car, a quick google search helped relieve that stress.

Congrats on the new ride! Your car would fit in well with the RAIDER Nation
