Hi Everyone
Hi. My name is JE. I live in Dallas and just got a 2014 328d sport wagon. It has adaptive suspension and headlight package from the factory.
I am really enjoying it. I came from a Veloster N that was exciting, thrilling, and amazing. However, it was too rough for a daily. I am so impressed by the BMW and how plush it rides. The car was a 1 owner and had 78k miles on it. So far, Ive *put on 4 new Goodyear tires *Transmission service w/ new pan & filter/fluids *serviced the differentials *brake flush *new filters (fuel, intake, cabin) Only major setback was a torn boot on left drivers side. Went ahead and put on a new axle (paid for by the dealer who sold it to me.) Also, the battery was still OE from 2014 and dealer bought me a new one of those as well and had it coded after the old one failed a load test. Anyways, glad to be here and enjoying the forums. Plan to learn a lot from you guys. -JE |

This is the only one so far. This is after a wash and decontamination. Going to polish the paint this weekend using Koch Chemie Pads and Compounds and then put on a ceramic coating. After that I will do a wheels off detail and really clean the inner barrels of wheels and coat the outside and inside. I do car detailing for a living so at least I can save money on that!!! -JE Meticulousdetail.com |
