hey people.
i've been just reading the forums till now
and i've decided to register and talk about my car now =X
i've always asked people about cars since im a noob when it comes to machines lol
anyways...
here's my ride:
BMW 335 XI (i think it's 2008 since we got it on january 15th....)
the car isn't actually mine but i share it with my sister.
i'm too scared to change or look at stuffs since i don't want to ruin my first car
anyawys..
i was wondering if you guys could give me some information about my car
like how i should drive since it's a brand new car and stuff..
some people say drive like crazy till like 7k rpm untill 3000 miles.
some say drive below 4k rpm untill 3000 miles.
i honestly don't know who to trust =X
thx =D

JKim89 · 03-20-2008, 05:45 PM

i saw on internet where people diagnostic their cars: hp and torgue and top speed and stuff...
and i read some people saying they went track or something.
thx.

Kiemyster · 03-20-2008, 07:53 PM

i wouldnt push your cars engine on a dyno or a track right now. and i suggest blackline tail lights. they make a subtle but sexy difference.

congrats on teh car. post some pics of ur sister plz

JKim89 · 03-20-2008, 09:13 PM

Well since you're an official member, now you HAVE to do something with your car.

j/k

Welcome to the forum, if you have an e90 (sedan), I would definitely recommend Blacklines for first mod or if you have an e92 (coupe), paint your amber sidemarkers ASAP

89.. damn you are young...... and Korean? lol

mike1ny · 03-21-2008, 12:15 AM

Welcome to the forum...

...but, something is very puzzling...you don't know anything about the car but you are looking to take it on a track...

Andro07 · 03-21-2008, 12:26 PM

I don't think a Dyno or taking it to the Track would be a good idea if it's still brand new. Just my opinion.

cbad335 · 03-21-2008, 12:44 PM

Just follow the instructions in the manual for break in. That's straight from the horses mouth. In addition, many people do an oil change after the break-in period (I did one at 1200 miles). You'll have to pay for that one, because BMW won't do the first oil change for 12-15,000 miles (way too long). Other than that, you don't have to do much but enjoy the awesome car.

Do nothing, it's not your car...

Boost Gomez · 03-21-2008, 05:42 PM

1. Pics of your sister please.
2. You shouldn't be looking to drive/mod/track the car if it's your sister's car.. She'll be the one to decide those things.

JKim89 · 03-21-2008, 07:41 PM

no no no haha
the car's bought in her name
but i'm the one who's driving =)
so basically my car, but it's "her" car =X

Boost Gomez · 03-21-2008, 08:06 PM

Oh I see.. She's okay with you modding it? And again, pics of your sister please.
