New to Forum, New to BMW, Purchased an Estoril Blue 435ix

Insane435 · 07-06-2016, 05:41 PM

I am awaiting the arrival of my '14 435ix. I could not be more excited at the moment. I am currently driving an '08 Saab 93 Stage 3. I can't imagine how much of a jump this will be for me. I was tired of the old technology in my Saab and needed something more up to date. I also HATE listening to a 4 cylinder engine and having FWD!

In the long run, I am hoping to get this car tuned, add a full exhaust, wheels/tires, m brakes, stanced and add some cosmetics. I may even beef up the HK stereo if it's not too difficult. However, I don't want to over do it with all of the M performance bits because those can make the vehicle look over done if you're not careful.

Hopefully I can learn about this car from members here which will allow me to do things right the first time.

Welcome to the club! I remember when I jumped from driving a civic then going to BMW, totally different and exciting.

Beek · 07-08-2016, 01:32 PM

Welcome and congrats, nothing like that first drive in your new BMW. ENJOY!

abhibrandy1 · 07-08-2016, 02:25 PM

Great to have you in the family! I just love Estoril Blue!

AndDown · 07-08-2016, 04:28 PM

Welcome to the family! You will have this silly grin on your face when you drive off the dealer's lot, trust me.

Welcome

Dang3r · 07-08-2016, 06:31 PM

Cool car, a real coupe needs not more than 2 doors and the EBII is one of the beautiest colours. Add some pics after deliverance and welcome aboard.

Insane435 · 07-10-2016, 09:38 PM

I am hoping that the vehicle will begin shipment to me early this week. There is a chance that I will receive it later this week. It is coming from Minnesota and I am in Michigan so it may take a few days. There will be TONS of pictures when I take delivery.

I don't even have this car yet and I am already planning out everything I want to add to it. There will be mods, but nothing custom; strictly bolts ons because of all of the options that exist. I think this summer or fall I will do one large upgrade, such as the exhaust. There are so many options that I do not know where to begin. However, I do know that I want quad tips.

Sayzar · 07-12-2016, 08:46 PM

congrats - you are in for some real fun

I bought my first BMW 3 months ago, absolutely love it! You're going to be extremely pleased.

Insane435 · 07-14-2016, 11:03 PM

Guys, I can't believe I don't have the car yet. This has been such a slow process! I guess that's what happens when you order out of state. At this rate, ill have my aftermarket exhaust at my house before the car.

JV973 · 07-17-2016, 10:04 AM

Welcome to the family, u are going to fall in love with Estoril Blue.

Insane435 · 07-17-2016, 03:23 PM

Finally got word that the car is being picked up Monday and should arrive Wednesday or Thursday. I think it's safe to order my black kidney grills.

Double slat or single.. hmmmm
