So just leased this 320iXdrive for 267/mo nothing due at signing went for the 320 over the other models because it's my first Bimmer and pretty much wanted loyalty so that I could get into a 5/7 series with a good deal. This is a 2 year lease. The cars got all the options I wanted like nav/convenience and etc

Also had no idea about the ambient lighting but god it looks dope

Anyways it's my first German car and I'm coming from a honda and I absolutely love it, comfort is good, not as good as Lexus but since driving the 3 series I had no idea handling could be this good and had no idea what I was missing

What was your first bmw and how was the experience

Also I couldn't let this color go

Congrats on a great car! Technically my first BMW is the one I have now, but my mom used to loan me her E30 325i convertible when I was 16, and I had way too much fun with that car.

Weirdly enough I'll note that my current BMW (2015 335i xDrive) smells exactly the same as that 1990 325i

Also started with a 320i a year ago and love it. After a few small mods and a tune it really feels like a good car. I plan on going Stage 2 soon too! Down the line I’m hoping I can land a 2 Series or a 340i (if kids come along). I was never a car guy, but I’ve learned so much about my car that it’s made me admire everything. My Dad ended up getting a Black (with white interior) 428i after driving my 320i. His car is beautiful too.

Yeah after seeing some posts with mods I mean these car can be pretty much modded to do anything too bad mines a lease but yeahthe 4 series is dope as well not a big fan of the 5 yet till they do something bout the shape

Yeah wanted the 330 at least but then figured as my first BM it shouldn't matter, especially commkng from a honda... but I can deffintley imagine how much more fun a 340/m3 would be

My first BMW is the one I currently own, a 340. Yes it is fun to drive, I also got the MPPSK. When did you get your 320 it must be one of the last ones now that the G20 is on sale. Looks like you got a pretty good deal with nothing due at signing but they must be trying to clear these off the lot so I've seen better lease deals on these as of late. Another good option is CPO if you want to get into something nicer later on as that way you save on the first year depreciation which can be huge.

First one was a 1976 2002, but expanded from there to older ones, and newer ones.

Congrats on the new ride! Price seems good enough to not complain and it's probably easy on insurance, too!

My first was a 1995 E36 325i. After getting bit by the bug I went from that to a 2001 E46 325i. And from that to my current 2015 F30 328xi. Congrats on the new pickup!

My first BMW is my current F30, a 2015 328i base model, gold over cream. I'd been driving a 3 Series-like Buick Regal, and loving it; but it was underpowered. I stopped at the dealer because I saw the gold F30 on the website. Twenty minutes' drive, in Comfort and then Sport modes, and I was ready to make a deal. The dealer repainted the rear bumper for me, found a mysterious interior rattle (a lipstick in the under-seat air vent!), and cured the taillight malfunction. It has 3 months of factory warranty left plus a year of CPO. So far I've seen 26-28 mpg w/ 65% city driving, and I'm loving the small starship engine under the hood.

NH5651, you will probably find that the car gets excellent gas mileage (though I'm not sure how much xDrive affects that) and will garner you attention wherever you go. The steel gray is a great color, a stealth shade in a way. What color is the interior?

First BMW I owned is my current 340 but I was familiar with the brand from my wife and stepdad. Wife had an 11’ 328ix which was a nice solid car butMy stepdad years prior had an N54 335 when they first dropped....He let me drive it back then and I said to him, this car is awesome I’m gonna get one one day. And now here I am lol

Interior is Venetian and yeah I love the color it was literally the only reason I went with the 320 couldn't get the 330 in that color dealers didn't have it, only thing I don't like is the aluminum trim I would prefer wood, but your right a lot of compliments on the color lol, gas mileage wise it's pretty m whatever for me I usually drive 10 miles a day no highway and get around 22mpg

Also the color is very similar to the Lexus platinum silver my dad has an rx and the color is pretty identical

Congrats! I enjoy my 320i a lot - it's been fun to mod and now it's pretty quick. The past month I've noticed f30 320i's everywhere in my area, must be the good deals. Also noticed loads of the g series lately too. Anyway, this was my first Bmw, coming from VW. Have had 5 VW's and wife still has one. Now I want to mod her Tiguan lol.

It's possibly because I have a BMW now, but I notice them everywhere. I paid little attention to them before I picked up mine.

But then, I've done that with every car I've owned.

Weasel on a stick! I can only dream of such a price. I'm an older driver with a good record, but I'm stuck for now in Lousy-ana, probably the state with the highest car insurance (and lowest average IQ) in the country.
