First BMW, new to forum.

Hello all! I recently received a CPO 328i sedan for college with the help of an awesome family. I'm new to the whole forum thing, but my friends into tuning recommended joining for reliable advice on performance and cosmetic modifications. So far I intend on replacing the stock 17" wheels with matte black 18" MRR GT7 wheels around the time my tires need replacing.
I know the 328's are hard to squeeze much extra performance out of, and that I could have picked an easier to tune vehicle, but I chose the car because I love the way Bimmers drive and it's just a classic.
Might eventually do coilovers and exhaust.
Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself. E90post seems like a friendly place and I hope to learn a lot here.

Picrelated: I've named her Macy.

Be careful of some of the members here, they are brutal against young people with BMWs.

Welcome!! The 328 is a classic and reliable car. You should get many years of good use out of her....."thats what she said!"....I kid, I kid.

I agree with Matrix on the LUX or MTech LED angel eyes upgrade. Also, if you have some spare cash, look into the BMW Performance Exhaust, cause on the 328, the difference is night and day. Plenty of vids on YouTube to prove it.

Let the modding begin! (and thank you for thanking your generous family first off in your post, that's class right there bro).
