2013 328i Sport Line getting close.......well.....for now.
I went through the military program at Pentagon Auto in Rota, Spain to build this car. I am new to the BMW community, but I am very excited to see all of the ways to make this car truly mine. I have a few pics that I took right around sunrise the other day, but I am not done just yet. I have H&R sport springs, HID high beam kit, and M Performance pedal kit yet to install, but I will get to that soon. Comments and feedback would be great! Thanks everyone!

Awesome car in a great color; I just love how the MW shines in the sun! The mods look great too. So, what branch of service are you in? I hope your deployment went well and that you're enjoying your time back in the States with your new car. I am for sure, and I wholeheartedly agree, after the MEU, I deserved a new toy to come home to!
If you ever get down to the Camp Lejeune area let me know and we'll go for a drive. Might make you regret getting the 328, though...

awesome car man, i bought a mineral grey while i was in England and something the sales person didn't tell me was that I had to pay the sales tax that i didn't pay in England once i got to USA. I PCS to Arizona and had to pay 15% for the sales tax that was $2,070!!!! I went to the on base attorney and sure shit i had to pay. It all depends on the state you go to register the car so just a little info that i didn't get enjoy.

Same thing happened to me. No sales tax coming out of Europe but had to pay it when I registered the vehicle in Texas. At first, the base price of the car was taxed, which wasn't too bad. Later on, though, my dad gets a letter from the state saying that sales tax should have been levied against the ENTIRE PURCHASE PRICE, and that I still needed to pay the difference. Very frustrating indeed.

All are 6000K. They look about as perfect as possible for after market. Thanks for the compliment on the wheels, though I have had a few issues with the lip flaking the black off. It is a shame, but I am going to get them powdercoated to protect them soon anyways.

Thanks brother. The HID kit comes from (****************.com). It is basic plug and play. I watched the tech do it and it was very straight forward.

They are 19" +35, 8.5" front and +38, 9.5" rear. They have Hankook V12 tires that are 235/35 front and 265/30 rear. Yeah, I love the MW as well. It definitely looks amazing in the direct sun and under street lights! Thanks for the compliments bro!
