Attention all new members

Hi everyone, I am newly registered but I have been using this forum for a few months now. I drive a 2003 BMW 325i. Just to say hello to all.

Greetings. I have finally registered after following Bimmerfest for quite some time. I currently drive a 2006 325i. I have owned that for about 5 years and now I'm considering the F30. This is my first post and just wanted to say hey.

Hi all. I recently bought a 2007 328i, and so far I love it! My first BMW.

Hi, I'm new here today. Just got a 2009 535i series.

I thought this would be a good place to start. The manual is making me crazy. So many things to learn.

I do have a question. What did I do to screw up my door locks. When I got the car a few days ago, it would lock as I walked away from it. But after pushing all kinds of buttons it isn't working. I have to use the non key to lock it when I'm getting out.

Thanks for any help you can give me! I am flabbergasted with the manual.

I've never had to read one on any of my cars and I had a BMW before but not like this one

What's up everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the forum and to the BMW lifestyle. And after reading some of the posts here, I see that driving a BMW is a way of life. I'm looking to get into my first BMW and I've found a lot of useful information here. I've always admired BMWs from afar, it's time to get up close and personal!

Greetings from Germany. I'm new to this forum and I'm simply amazed how HUGE this is. If someone wanted to read all the posts it would take years, right?

Hi I'm new just joined now
Hope to learn about what I can do to my car here
There's a lot I want todo to
My car but don't know where to start how to start please help thanks

Hello Bimmerfest community. My name is John and I recently purchased a 2012 550i. This is my first BMW and I am in love with it! It is an amazing car. I hope to not only learn, but contribute as well to the Bimmerfest forums on any subject that might come up. Thanks everyone.

Hey all,
I'm not new to the site, but new to posting. I'm a first time owner of BMW and love driving them, but my car broke down it was either fix it or pay some ungodly amount to get it repaired. Thanks to all this great info I was able to do a tranny swap on my 03' 525 sport wagon and save a ton

Hi Everyone,

I am AJ and I have a 1999 5-Series (528i) that up until recently I thought was on it's last leg, although I've taken good decent care of the car, I wasn't the most mechanically inclined. Then a co-worker of mine whom used to be a BMW technician opened my eyes to how easy it could be to repair the minor things wrong with the car. After a Tune up and oil service and service inspection done in my garage, I became a believer again. So I am in the midst of restoring my car back to it's original beauty. I've become a true fan of the car again. Now of course I am still knee deep into trouble with it with a bad right wheel bearing that My friend and I spent the better part of a weekend trying to replace, but we didn't have the proper tools to get the bearing out, so I've decided I'll pay for that at the mechanic whom I would ordinarily take the car to for major work. The car still needs to be painted and after a night of bad judgement backing into my garage has cost me a passenger side Rear View Mirror Cover but that's online for purchase next week. I actually decided I need to post so I can learn some more tricks of the trade fixing my own car, and perhaps hear stories from you fellow owners out there as well. I hope to learn a lot here and I appreciate the knowledge and lessons in advance..

nuff said,

AJ

I plan to buy a BMW. I join to learn more about the model 535 must be an Xi. I have a hobby: Salt water aquarium. I m adding another hobby now: driving a BMW. It means: speding money, time and having pleasure out of the hobby.

I have visited this forum many times to get diy data and figured i would like to take the next step and start interacting. I have a 2008 z4 that i just added a vinyl wrap to and looking forward to meeting some people that have also modded and or tweeked there rides.

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member, have 1999 E39 528i wagon with 210K miles on it and going strong. Goal is to get beyond 500k. She has been a reliable work horse!

I feel you I am the same novice mechanical skills but try to learn and fix what I can, do you have any good web sites to find parts that you'd be willing to share/recommend?

Hello,

My name is Bob. I drive a 2003 Z4 3.0i. I was in test driving a new Z4 to replace my current one when my SA said I should do European Delivery. When Searching for information on that I stumbled on this site. Lots of good information here. By the way, my new 2013 Z4 sDrive 35i is scheduled to be picked up in Munich on September 17th.

Hi, I just discovered the BMW Z3 and it was love at first sight. I know you must think "where has this guy been" but I have been a GM guy all of my life and never took the time to explore the BMW family. Always thought that eventually I would be a Corvette owner. I just don't like the looks of the newer models and don't have the energy to work on an older one. Anyway, recently found my 2001 Z3 2.5i and like the title says, I'm in love again. Not a bad thing for a 65 year old retired electrician.

Hello all I just bought a 1998 528i for a second car my 07 Tahoe sucks up gas. Can any one tell me how this is on Gas. PS. I looked down and laughed when I hit 95 felt like I was cruising at 30. Can't wait to drive home

Been on the site for a while but never joined 'til now. So much helpfull info here that I can read for hours and hours... Hope to be able to contribute in some way. *o7 650i -blacked out lights and grills, ACS spoiler, 22inch Forgiato Maglias. More mods to come, I'll post progress as I go. I'll get some pics up from my phone next time or u can check out my garage.

I would like to take this time to hello to all the member in the community, I have a 1998 528i that I really love, great car old but nice. I just wanted to say hello to everyone and looking forward to a good time here at Bimmerfest.

Hello everyone. I've been reading this forum for some time. I just recently bought a 1997 Z3, 2.8. Love the car. I've learned allot from all of the wisdom that flows through this site. Thanks for everything and I hope to keep learning from everyone.

Hello Everyone. I am new here and new owner of an '05 545i. Looking forward to learning much and, eventually, helping others. Have riden/maintained BMW motorcycles for 25 years, but this is my first BMW car. Finally pulled the trigger on the E60 after I helped my son find a beautiful 540i-6 last summer.

Hello Everyone. I am picking up my 2013 X3-35i tomorrow (Tech, Premium, Cold 1, Apps) Super excited. Love the site. Thank you for the useful and informative content.

Hello everyone,
I want to express my sincere appreciation to all the members of this blog. This is such a great site.
I have 2006 325i. Had central lock problem last week. Thanks to all the post related to that problem, I was able to fix a major headache simply by replacing fuse #57!
You all have a great July 4th holidays.
Thanks again.
