LexusBoys to now BMW

iRyan_3 · 08-14-2016, 07:30 AM

After have Lexus's for the past 10 years I've decided to give BMW a try.....

Just got a 2013 F30 m-sport

I must say I'm very impressed so far especially with the handling....I'm looking forward to doing some engine mods as well in the upcoming future along with wheels and suspension.

I'm glad you recover from being in a vegetated state for the last 10 years.

.BMW. · 08-14-2016, 09:46 AM

Beautiful F30!

Congrats.

goj · 08-14-2016, 12:55 PM

Nice cars. I'm sure you'll love the F30

JOE YOUNG · 08-14-2016, 03:44 PM

One thing I'm sure. You are going to miss the xenons on your lexus.

Welcome!

Funny, I actually wanted an ISF, but just could not find the right one. Ended up with the F30 instead.

Welcome to the F30 club! I've been in Lexus, then BMW, then Lexus, and then BMW again. I had a 3IS 250 and it was so slow. The 328i performs much better.

jmull3r · 08-14-2016, 05:42 PM

I'm debating between the IS350 and the 340i but i kinda like the 340i a lot more and the iDrive system is easier to use

If you want the best reliability go Lexus. It also has slightly better steering. The 340i with m sport is superior in every other way

What's up iRyan :P welcome to the other side

Yessir you're right about that. The 328 way quicker than the 250

If you're impressed with the F30's handling, you would've been blown away by the E90.

do you think i can keep a 340i for 5-6 years with no super costly problems? i know the engine is new, but i do not want to pay for some stupid shit if i don't have to lol.

Absolutely if your car turns out to be a bad apple spend a couple grand to extend the warranty 2 years.

It's also worth noting that fuel pump issues are what has plagued BMWs may not be an issue since they have gone from electric pumps to mechanical pumps
