I finally joined the 1Addicts

tvo9 · 04-21-2015, 03:04 PM

My wife and I just picked up our 1st bimmer on Wednesday April 15. It's a CPO 2012 BMW 128i with 30K miles in titanium silver.

Prior to the bimmer, I was driving a 2014 Toyota RAV4 XLE, and my wife was driving a 2014 Toyota Prius II as our daily driver. We also have a 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Plus as our weekend car.

I convinced my wife to trade in her Prius and get another daily driver. We were looking at a 2015 Ford Mustang Fastback, but we went with the BMW instead.

The wife ended up likes the Toyota RAV4 more because the height, and how light the steering wheel on Toyota vs the bimmer, so I get to daily drive the bimmer

Here are some photos of the new ride from the dealer page.

Welcome!

I got the tint done yesterday, and I just ordered new wheels and tires. Once they're installed next week, I'll post some updated photos.
For now, I am trying hard to behave with the new ride

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your 1er. Since you don't need it any more, can I have your Challenger?

tvo9 · 04-22-2015, 11:11 PM

I don't want to turn this thread to a Challenger talk, but since you ask, here it is

tvo9 · 04-30-2015, 06:43 PM

After having the car for 2 weeks, I am falling in love with it, and start upgrading.
This car is now my daily beater

ShocknAwe · 04-30-2015, 06:46 PM

Got the good bumper too! Welcome.

PS: sweet Challenger.
