Alexc360's BSM 328i Sport Line
So after about 9 weeks, my 328 is finally in my driveway!! Here are some quick pics I took when I got home on Thursday.
I'll have more pics up once I get the windows tinted. And sorry about the quality, unfortunately the only camera I have is attached to an iPhone

Hey everyone, I've been away from the forums for a while and I felt bad for not updating my thread. Here are some pics I took with my new tint.
I got 15% tint all around and 45% on the windshield.

Looks really good, I like the piano black. Manual is awesome too. For some reason I thought they werent going to have a manual available in the US in the 328i's anymore. Nice car.

Car looks great, I don't think anyone except enthusiasts will notice no xenons...

Car looks awesome, the pics are quite nicely done.
I too, opted for sound and tech stuff as opposed to the $4500 it would have taken for xenons (hate sunroofs, need the headroom) and got the halogens. That said, the way the units are shaped it makes even the halogens look pretty good. In fact, for some reason the f30 xenons look kind of "bug-eyed" when turn off compared to the E90/92 (turned on with the led ae's looks great though) Overall, I think I actually prefer the stylings of the e90s more than my f30. (I've always suffered from some measure of buyers remorse.....) All aside, the most important thing is the proper gearbox. I had to order this car specifically to get the 6mt. Couldn't find a new car or even a nice cpo with low miles and the manual. I've driven several different manual trans and this is really my fav (like it more than Audi/vw). With the different modes altering the throttle response, it has taken some getting used to. Mostly now I just leave it in sport. I do still have a little difficulty deciding on downshifted gears and matching the speed. Sometimes third is too boggy, but second requires too much revving. I'm not completely perfect at judging my particual speed when slowing down. Getting used to it though, and frankly the gearbox alone (well, that and blasting the Hk sound) make it all worth while. I wish you plenty of open road to enjoy |

I'm also convinced that I've blown one of my speakers already...It makes a crazy scratching/crackling noise for some songs with certain bass ranges. It comes mostly from the central speaker on top of the dash, behind the screen. I think I might of cranked it up too loud
