New to the Bimmer world

francisomar · 02-17-2010, 08:08 AM

hello, I've been lurking around for some time now just before I got a 2008 335i for my birthday last January. This forum looks like a great tool for the newbie and the tuner. My car has roughly 30K miles but kept in mint condition since they are so expensive in PR people don't abuse them, replaced HPFP once at 1K but nothing else, going for the first service for cheap peeling parts in a few days, but I still love my 335i. Here are some pics of my new toy.

nice ride!

jt335i · 02-17-2010, 08:15 AM

Sweet ride! Welcome to the family!

francisomar · 02-17-2010, 08:21 AM

Thanks for the complimments! Now I just got hit with the bug and starting mods, just order a B&M SSK, next on list are 19's and suspension to start off on the right path, I have sports package but I want to lower it a bit more

Man, replaced fuel pump at 1K huh?

francisomar · 02-17-2010, 08:34 AM

It was replaced due to previous owner used low octane fuel, no further problems since then as he learned to use good stuff instead of cheaper ones like 87 octane gas,being raised in a car tunner world I already knew I had to stick with 91 octane fuels since it's the most common high octane fuel in PR and it's a must permormance wise, if you own a turbo car no matter what brand you should know how to drive it and maintain it, it's not out of this world, it's just common sence if you want to have a reliable car
