Hello! New 340i owner and first time bimmer owner!

seb835 · 11-16-2018, 10:02 AM

Hi All,

Picked up my (nearly) new 340i last night and couldn't be happier! I'm also a first time BMW owner, so will probably have a lot of questions

First impressions after around 70 miles of driving - very smooth, solid feeling, impressive performance. Can't wait to drive it properly this weekend and get used to it all.

Cheers!
Seb

Absolutely beautiful car man, congratulations, drive safe and enjoy the ride! Since you'll be on factory warranty, probably just enjoy the car as is until its over and then mod it

Love it....just don't drive it in the snow like I did yesterday....yup....I'm an idiot!

Thanks - coming from a Skoda Fabia vRS 2007. Quite the upgrade, although that little car really did well considering it is now over 11 years old.

We don't have Skodas here in the States, had to look it up. Does seem to be quite the jump! Welcome to the Bimmer family! Enjoy the hell out of it!
