Just picked up a CPO 2015 F36 435i Gran Coupe M Sport! First time back in a BMW in over 10 years and I am loving the F36!

I've been on the e46fanatics and evolutionm forums since the early days but am new to this forum so I wanted to introduce myself and start a journal/log to track the progress of my new build. I will post updates and photos as I go so stay tuned for more. Also please leave a comment if there are any local San Diego meetups that I should know of. Looking forward to meeting some of you local guys.

Here are the specs of the car:

Glacier Silver Metallic/Black Dakota Leather
M Sport Package
M Sport Brakes
Driving Assistance Package
Lighting Package
Premium Package
Technology Package
Side and Top View Cameras
Harmon Kardon sound

And here are a couple shots from the day I picked her up.

That's a sweet ride. Definitely got some nice options. The premium sound system rocks.

Great car and of course color. Glacier Silver is my choice as well. Enjoy!

By the way, how many miles does it have? Ask the dealer to inspect the charge pipe since N55 engines have plastic OEM charge pipes.

Thanks guys!

Car has 33k miles. Thanks for the heads up, I'm planning on getting the ER CPs and intercooler soon hopefully my stock CPs can hold up just a little while longer.

Did some things today! Started off with a couple of cosmetic modifications.

Installed Gloss black M Performance kidney grills and wrapped my roof + shark fin Gloss black as well.

Very nice.

I bought my first Bimmer, a 2004 330ci, then went years without until I bought my 2014 435i, and I've loved every minute of it. Welcome back!

Thanks! Feels good to be back. Love those old 330ci's. One of my best buds had a 330ci ZHP back in the day. It was an awesome car. My first car ever was a 1984 E28 528e with 200k miles haha, and then the last bimmer I had was a 2004 E46 325xi. Then I switched to the dark side when I got a really good deal on a 2006 Evolution IX MR with 4K miles on it in 2007.

Welcome i too am new to the F3x series (had it a month so far) and was a previous E46 owner. I have basically all the same packages as you except for the M-sport package, although i do have the M-Sport brakes. The dakota leather is awesome, the HK system is 100x better than the HKs in the E46s for obvious reasons, and the wheels; i too have the same ones and they look awesome as well! Congrats on the new BMW and welcome to the F3X Fam!

My previous E46 was a 2005 325Xi and i'll tell you what, the difference in steering is night and day. Still not sure how much i like the newer, less effort of steering but im def getting used to it! Is your new car X-Drive?

[PCEVOM3]

Thanks breezin. And no it’s rwd.

Installed my M Performance CF Trunk spoiler last night. Here are a few shots I took this afternoon.

Congrats on a beautiful GC!

Congrats on the car! I just bought almost this identical car last week. Everything is the same besides the M brake package. Keep us updated on the car, I may have to steal a few ideas!

[BigJack75]

Nice ride!!! It is pretty much what I want except color. I want the dark gray one.

[SmoothStyle1]

Sweet ride.

I considered the Gran Coupe but they don't offer it in a 6MT.
