September is a great month.
I've never been. I was told that Honolulu is a good central hub so I bought tickets for there. Haven't don't more research yet.
Honestly that's my least favorite island, but if you like nightlife it's the only island for that.

Lots of traffic...Stay away from Waikiki.
Ko'olina and north shore are best areas on Oahu imo.

Try to shot for Maui or Kauai if you want a real Hawaii feel and some of the best beaches.

PM me for more info if you like.

Oahu is also the only island where you can visit the USS Arizona Memorial. If you’ve got any interest in US history, it’s a must-see. Lots of misty eyes on that tour.

Maui is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited on Earth, but I’ve never been to Kauai. The Big Island has its own charms, but I’d understand if people are a bit leery of traveling there right now.

Hey guys, I joined bimmerpost back in Feb 2006 to do research on getting my own BMW. Fast forward 12+ years to 6/20/18, I purchased my first BMW.

I'm looking forward to learning from the rest of the community on my new car. Below are photos of my 2015 328i.

Nice little touch, I love it. How much should I expect to pay for all 4 sills if u don't mind me asking?
They come as a front set only (the rears only have a small chrome plate). Got them for $200 on eBay- getbmwparts are around $220 I think.

Yeah simple install and definitely nice at night!

Welcome (back)! Nice car. Lots to learn on this forum for sure. I wouldn't have done half of the installs myself without it!

Thanks, I've been mulling over swapping the spoiler for the OEM CF lip spoiler. Wife isn't keen. I'm still in 2 minds, prefer the OEM look.

I wouldn't mess with it. Flows with the car well.

Thanks, I really like it. Got it CPO in Dec. Original owner did a great job of the build, MPE, MPPK, CF and alcantera interior. Appreciate the feedback, my time might be best spent polishing it now. Cleaned the steering wheel with water and a microfiber cloth at the weekend - looks new!

Thanks. I'm much older now and probably won't be speeding so much in the streets of NYC (especially with all the pot holes that we have) so I may not do so many performance mods.

I did purchase a Vgate OBD2 connector to do some simple coding on the car with Bimmercode to make the car more convenient. Hopefully, I don't brick the car but I hear it's pretty straight forward so long as I don't mess around with expert mode.

LOL thanks. Clearly, somewhere along the way I made bad decisions & picked up a few other cars.
