New to the BMW crowd

I recently bought my first Bimmer in late September of this year and absolutely love it!! My previous car was a modded 02 Trans Am so I'm still trying to get used to the lack of power but the handling makes up for that by a long shot.

I've been lurking around the site since about the time I got the car trying to get to know the car and different options and things to do to it, also so when I finally signed up I wouldn't feel like a complete noob when asking a question that's been posted on the site already (look at that, I know how to use the "search").

Enough about me, here's my car. It's an '08 e93 335i with sport, premium and cold weather packages to my knowledge. There's a few things that it's missing that I would have liked to have but oh well. I've added the matte black kidneys, painted reflectors and painted the bottom grills, other than that it's stock. I eventually have some plans for a tuner (which one I don't know) and some rims (which I'm still debating on as well).

You have a point .. OP, how did you manage to get someone to take a picture of you driving the car down the street at such great resolution. They all look like stock photos ........

Yeah, I can't take credit for those. I owe all that to a good friend of mine from my F-body days.

Yeah, that's what I've been seeing. I've been debating JB4 vs Procede vs Cobb but I mean for the price unless someone can shed some more light on it, the JB4 is looking like the winner.

Sure is. Pretty much all the pictures I have of my cars were taken in Tampa somewhere. I drove the car down there for Thanksgiving to visit my family and well of course to show off the new car.

Normally I don't like to question people about their cars (in a negative way), but Nightman when you get a chance, I'd like to see some pics taken from your cameraphone. Just to erase any doubts...

Ouch, that hurts. But here, to clear any doubts here's a picture I took the day I got it. Plus if you look at the driving pictures, that's me.



Or is that one not recent enough for you? Would you rather me go out there with a sign with your name written on it with the car in the background? (Don't take offense to this, I'm a smart ass and there's no sarcasm font on here)

Are you guys really debating whether it's my car or not? May I ask why? Is it because some pictures have a license plate and some don't? Simple, the pictures of ME driving were taken while we (myself and a couple friends) were on the way to the area where we took stationary shots (where the license plate is not there) and I removed the front license plate because it looks like ass (even though now I have two random holes in the front bumper of MY car). But sure, I could have just made that all up because I'm a habitual liar to the people of the internet. The world may just never know. Or maybe you would actually like me to take a picture of the keys and a sign in front of the car with your name on it just to prove a point, but I'm not. Why? You ask, because I don't really have to prove anything to the people of the internet because I know that I have a real 335i sitting outside and it's not some figment of my imagination that I stole some pictures from some poor shumck off the internet claiming his car as my own just because I felt like it and want to be a part of the cool crowd.

I know that I have the car whether there's some guys on here that believe me or not I don't care. Even though it's sucks being called out while you're the new guy on a forum, I've seen instances where people play it off trying to steal someones "internet identity" so I guess I can't blame you guys too much but I mean this instance seems a little crazy doesn't it? Anyway, no harm no foul.

No, I could care less actually...just saw the license plate discrepancy and the previous post about the pics.

Cool car!
