BMW Newbie in Boston

Hey everyone. We bought our F30 back in November and I've been lurking here for a bit learning a lot about the car. Having owned nothing but Saabs for 10 years, I must say it is light-years ahead of most cars I've driven, though I'm sure I have a different appreciation for the 4-cyl turbo than some other BMW guys.

I had actually never really considered owning a BMW until Enterprise happened to give me an F30 328i as a rental car (!?), and I really, really enjoyed it. In all honesty I was waiting it out for an Alfa Romeo Giulia but opted against buying a brand new car (I walk to work), and got the CPO 328i until there might be a similar 2-3 year old Alfa available. No regrets with the Bimmer though!

Looks good! Did you change the color of your wheels in the 2nd pic? They look darker. Anywho, good looking car! I dipped my toes into BMW with a 2013 328i (xDrive), and I really enjoyed the power from the 4-cyl. Congrats on the new ride and welcome!

Thanks, and nope! They're just covered in brake dust. I do sort of prefer the darker look though.

Yep, those darn OEM brakes are quite dirty - I just ordered up an aftermarket set of rotors and ceramic pads to hopefully keep my new wheels clean!!
