Attention all new members

What's up everyone. I visit this site all of the time and finally decided to join. I have owned nothing but BMW's for almost 20 years. My first bimmer was a 1982 320i in 1993, second was a 1991 318i in 1995, a 1997 M3 in 1999, a 2003 X5 in 2004, and I am currently waiting on my 2013 M5 which I just ordered the last week of August. I CAN'T WAIT! I will post pictures soonest. Looking forward to chatting.

Found this site searching for info on SatNav upgrade for new purchase with SW4-1/40 V24. Searches across site indicate a wealth of knowledge and advice.

Hey all,
I am really proud to be a member of bimmerfest. My father has owned BMW's before I was born in the 80s and I just got a 2006 325xi and I look forward to learning and sharing with fellow BMW enthusiasts. Big Up!

Welcome everyone

Thanks for the welcome! I just joined Bimmerfest. I'm on my third BMW. Nothing went wrong with the first two, it just took a while to find one I felt comfortable with. Its a 1995 325IS, and I've put all but twenty of the 135,000 miles on the car myself. While I'm torn sometimes between buying a new car and getting repairs done, I'll still be driving a BMW.

I look forward to learning more here!

FINALLY CREATING A PROFILE HERE ON BIMMERFEST.COM AFTER VISITING FOR MILLIONS OF TIMES -- DRIVE A 2003 E39 SPORT, CHERRY RIDE PLAN ON KEEPING FOREVER. ALSO CHARTER PRIVATE JETS IF ANYONE READY TO FLY LET ME KNOW!!

I have a 2001 BMW X-5. My computer screen is all srambeled. When I tap on it, it clears up for a few seconds and then it srambeles again. Today I tapped it again and kept pressing down on it while it was working and put the end of a small screw driver between the dash and the monitor to keep it secure. It worked for about a mile and I got to my destination with it working. When I returned to the car and turned it on, it was srambeles once again. Is a connection loose? How do I get to the back of the monitor?

Well I finally got one, lol it took 42 years but I finally bought one of my dream cars! Now, lets make it fly!! I'm a mods kinda guy, owned 2 SRT chargers prior to this, so what are the chances of 4.5sec. 0-60 in this smooth riding 6 cylinder??? Lol

Hi all. Great site. I don't own a BMW but my Dad once had a 2002 back in the late 70's . Found this site when looking for info on diagnostic software. Keep up the good work.

Best regards.

Macbox5 here! I just joined... I have an 01 740iL and an 07 650i coupe... I enjoy and love driving both... I'm looking forward to getting an M5 or an M3 at some point to add to my enjoyment! Cheers!

Hi All - I just sold by 2000 Audi A6 and got a 2013 528xi. The Audi was great car, but after almost 13 years, I wanted to try a different manufacturer. I narrowed my choices to the 528 and new GS350. The German cars, in my opinion drive so much better and the finish is nicer. I look forward to many years of ownership with my new car and learning more from this forum.

Good day to all members. I am new here, just bought my first BMW, a 2000 model 740il, bought it at auction, has mostly cosmetic issues, and some very minor body damage, my goal is to get it back to as close to perfect as I can, so any advice or suggestions are much appreciated, especially locating parts/service in the Gulf States area of the US. i look forward to hearing from any and all.
regards,

GO NOTRE DAME

Hello everyone! Great site, great people, great advice, not to mention a great car. I'm new to BMW's. Just picked up a 2001 325xi. Needs a little help here and there but overall in good shape for a car with over 200K miles. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I bought my 2011 328i (30,000) a little over a week ago. The first time I'd ever driven a BMW was the test drive, and there was no turning back. I freaking love this car.

New to the site & just purchased my 650i! Super excited to be apart of the 6er family....check the pic!

New to this site and recently acquired a 2001 X5 3.0i with manual transmission... defintely a guy's car... especially with the stick shift.

hi guys looking foward to making good friends and getting help with my project car.

Hi everyone,

My name is Derek and I am new to this forum. I am also a new BMW owner residing here in Calgary, Alberta (aka. Cowtown). I must admit..it blows my mind sometimes that I have a BMW.

I've always been a Japanese car owner (Honda, Acura), but decided I'd like to try something new. Living in Calgary, it seems everyone and their uncle drives a bimmer (LOL), but I must admit.. the sleek look of the 328 and 325 warms my heart. So in a fit of heated passion, I went to BMW Gallery on Crowfoot and started shopping

I first looked at the 320i, since this was more in my price range. However, after adding up all the extra (premium package + sunroof, etc.), it ended up being actually the same price to go "up a level" and get the base 328i. I decided on the Alpine White model (Luxry Edition) as I love the chrome bumber and accents. I also got it with the sleek saddlebrown interior (an amazing color contrast). Its a beautiful car.

In retrospect, I do wish I would have spent the extra $, and caught the 328i with both the Premium and Executive packages (NAV, Bluetooth, etc.)....but I ended up on getting SIRUS as the upgrade. All I am happy with the car and amazed at how nice it drives.

I look forward to meeting all of you and enjoying this site.

Cheers,
Derek

My current car is a 10 year old RSX 5 speed which I love and will keep. I'm eyeing the sport but I prefer the turbine wheels in the modern...I'll most likely get stuck with the sport wheels.
I look forward to Bimmerfesting!

10-4 today I took delivery of my dream car...BMW 335i M Sport. My wife and I were at the dealer on 29 Sept but they did not have what I wanted. After only 2 days, my super nice guy CA found me one that just arrived at the VPC in Oxnard Cali (it was supposed to go to BMW of Escondido) and had it routed to NV and arrived after 3 days and I drove it home today. Awesome automobile. Took the family for a drive and they love it as much as I do. I look forward to lots of joy filled miles of driving and Bimmerfesting as well.

I finally joined this forum after having my passion for BMW reignited.

I was a big fan of BMW growing up but after the lease of family's '07 3 series ended, the passion gradually faded with the memory. Following bunch of electric steering and turbo charging news from BMW, I pretty much given up hope and though I'd be one of those guys that start my conversation with "back in my days"

All that changed yesterday when I went to a comparison test drive event hosted by BMW. I got to test drive bunch of new 328xi and 335xi with different trims and packages, against competitors including TL SH-AWD, G37x, C300 4 matic, A4 s-line (what a joke).

The event was fantastic. I had a blast there. Met some cool people and drove some awesome cars.

By the way, the name Clarissa is just a nick name I acquired from another forum. But i'm a guy...all x inches of guyness.
