Actually I thought of you when I posted the message. I did sign up with Bimmerfest and Bimmerpost. The formats for reading are different. I got a 430I convertible for Wife.
thanks

Both BMW forums are useless. Nothing but owners sharing their car-related thoughts and questions. What’s the point?





But yes, 430’s are very cool 😎. Not as cool as an E46 M3 though.

Yeah, BMW isn’t especially creative with their interiors. The cool part is you can easily swap on and off trim sets to change the look. Everything snaps on and off. That was a set I got cheap on EBay because it was scratched up, and I got it vinyl wrapped in CF. Now I have the full real CF set from the M4.

A couple of suggested mods... a JB+ from Burger Motorsports, a safe way to add more horsepower, a Dinan free-flow muffler, which sounds amazing on the B48 engine, and a BMS Billet Air Intake. I’m not usually into mechanical mods but those three were worth the money (and reversible).

Oh that thing is the *****. All is well. I haven’t had a Benz for the past couple years when I gave the C300 to one of my kids to run out the lease (and got the BMW instead.) He brought it back since the lease is almost up (and bought himself an F30) so I’ve been driving it once in awhile.

Not it sure if I’m totally done with MB though. The E450 Coupe has my attention all of a sudden.

new ecoupe is prtty cool. Im pretty content w the w222 for now., its a way different ride than the w221 was..def for the better as they stiffened the car up and has way less body roll. Im a big fan. I swapped the 19" amg s for a 20" set of reps similiar to my old one.

I am on Bimmerfest and Bimmerforums. Both have a wealth of knowledge. I have a 6 series now and info on those cars are hard to come by. The best BMW forum I was ever on was e46 fanatics. Those guys were full of knowledge. Unfortunately many moved on and the younger generation took the place over and it went downhill a bit.

There was a really good froup of guys on there 4-6 years ago. We had regular meets in NJ and Brooklyn. We did a few drives too. Now it's like chaos.
