Another new first time F34 owner.....
My E90 just got mangled up by an interaction with a semi trailer so it got me looking around for something new. I looked at a '16 428 GC, '16 Z4, '12 535, '16 328, and a '16 335. Actually had a handshake deal on the GC before he couldn't afford to pay off the balance of his loan and tried to raise the price on me.
Then I looked at this immaculate '16 328 GT with only 17k miles on it. Owned by a retired high end auto broker who had bought it for his wife to putz around town with. Only blemish at all was 2 door dings and he brought his dent guy out and did a masterful job of making them disappear. Super excited to get out and around with it. The thing that blew us away was just how much room was inside it. I'm 6ft and with the drivers seat where I needed it, an actual full grown human could sit in the back seat comfortably. |

Happy to see another Melbourne Red on here, nice color! The room is what really sold me and my wife on it. Can fit a kid seat in any of the rear seats on not compromise on the front seat positions. Then the hatch area is lovely. We will eventually add a roof box for long trips when we need to pack a bunch of stuff but its been a great weekend car for the family. We were actively trying to avoid a suv/cuv/van and the GT was just what we needed
Are you planning on keeping the car stock or are you gonna make any little changes? |

Seeing your car really makes me want to delete the front plate too. I have a buddy that i am going to leverage for the coding, just gotta get him to come over and visit. |

I really wanted a red one, but settled for mineral white due to the exceptional deal I could get from Greg Poland at Pacific BMW (even when you include shipping it was a steal).

Just backed it into the garage and I have a question.... what's the logic in the design behind the radio remaining on seemingly indefinitely after you get out? I don't normally lock my car in the garage so how long is that sucker going to stay on for?

It will stay on for maybe ten minutes if you don't lock the car. I like the feature, it reminds me to lock the car wherever I park, garage included. My garage isn't wide open, but it's not impenetrable either. The logic is so one can still listen to the radio after parking and turning off the engine without having to hit the ignition switch again. If it really bothers you just push the start button a second time, which shuts everything off.

I also enjoy it, normally unloading the car or getting the kid out of the back seat, so i like to keep the tunes going a bit longer. |

I just got my BT adapter, I'm going to give coding a go in the next few weeks. I'll probably do the same as that is what I'm used to in my other cars.

Happen to be in the same town, interest to know how the coding works out for you. On thing I want to code is ability to close the hatch with the key fob or the button near the driver seat.

GT and Wood Tools
It’ll be a few days, but all the tools and the GT will get along fine in the garage! At least mine seem to. Beautiful car. Congratulations... you’ll love it.
