Hi Everyone!

Hello all members! I have been lurking on here for a while and finally decided to join! I have seen a lot of great, useful information posted on here and hope to become part of the community!

A bit about myself: My name is Allen. I am from Ann Arbor, got bored of it so I chose to go to MSU for my undergrad. I am now a Junior there with a premed major (hence the username). I was extremely lucky to get such an awesome car, it was an overly generous gift from my grandfather

. I baby it like no other with frequent washes, interior cleans, try to avoid driving it in bad weather, slow down over major bumps, etc. In the past, I have had:

1997 Lincoln Continental: High school car, drove it like a sports car, learned many valuable lessons, would never drive like such a moron again, the car still sits in front of the house.

1995 BMW E34 530i: Got this last about 2 yrs ago, it was the car I learned stick on. Was tricky, I really sucked at first but then things clicked. I really loved this car, drove so much better than the old Lincoln and RWD in snow = too much fun

Car had a throttle issue (where it just wouldn't respond sometimes), and my parents deemed it unsafe....so

2007 BMW E90 328i: The current car I have, again I am extremely grateful I get to drive such an awesome car everyday! I was hooked onto manual after the E34, so this one had to be a 6 speed. I drove an auto E90 a while back and was amazed at how good it was! I ended up seeing a TiAg E90 CPO at the local dealer and jumped on it. In the end I got an awesome car for a bit more than a top end Civic!

To stop boring you guys, here are some pics!

congrats, nice car!

You'll love that car, I used to have a silver on black 328i 6 speed as well. Congrats and enjoy!

preDoc 328 · 05-21-2010, 06:14 PM

Thanks for the kind welcome guys! This is the best car I have ever driven (other than a 997 911 Turbo around a parking lot). I am planning some mods after I finish my summer job such as BMW performance suspension and 18in Style 313s.

Congrats, welcome & enjoy every mins of it.

Congrats and welcome! A nice upgrade from the Lincoln for sure!

Welcome. Glad to c u got 6MT

preDoc 328 · 05-22-2010, 12:03 AM

Thanks for the kind comments! Yes it is day and night difference between this and the old boat, I didn't really understand the hype with BMW and sport sedans till I got in the E34, the E90 is even better (and this is coming from a huge car enthusiast). Now I see why every single car magazine/show has named the 3 series one of the best, if not THE best driver's cars of all time! The 6MT makes it that much better too (took me a while to get used to it, its way different than the one on the E34). 6MT was the only requirement at the time, I kinda wish I had sports package, but I am planning on some performance suspension setup soon anyways.

Oh yea I forgot to say all the options. I have heated seats and power seats (floormats if you count that

). It's simple, but suits my needs just great! Am loving every second once I hit that start button
