Hey guys, have been lurking here for the past few months while I searched for a car. My last car was a E92 335 that I had and modded fairly extensively over 9 years and 100k miles, but it was totaled when some guy didn't yield to me as I was pulling out of work. I'll drop some pics of it below and a link to my old build thread on E90post in case anyone is interested. Well, I got my check and the search began. I spent nearly 3 months looking at a car and considered a ton of options, including the Alfa Romeo Giulia, Infiniti Q50/Q60, Merc C300, F32 435i, and a bunch of other cars I tried out to see if they were tolerable enough to hold me over for a bit (Acura TLX, Civic, etc).

I was mostly settled on a 15-16 IS350 F sport though, and had been searching for an Ultra White one. I'm from central Florida but traveled to Miami twice to see cars 4 different cars that were all beat to ****. Don't ever buy a Miami car. I finally caved and found a very clean Atomic Silver IS350 a few hours north in Jacksonville. CPO with 4 years of unlimited mile bumper to bumper warranty, 24k miles, and super clean both exterior and interior so I went for it. I plan on keeping the mods fairly simple but clean. Not really interested in gaining more performance out of it, and I'm going to lower it but I don't plan on stancing it out like my last car. I just picked the car up yesterday and I already bought 3.5'' exhaust tips, 20mm spacers, and picked up some lightly used BC Racing coilovers locally. Also have a dash cam that needs to be installed and I'll probably have to pick up a Uniden R3 to replace my old Valentine 1 that I sold.

Mod list:
Muffler delete with 3.5'' exhaust tips

Update 2/28/18:
Muffler delete got done today. Added 3.5'' rolled edge tips that I grabbed off Amazon for $20 each.. Was a little worried they were too small but they ended up looking perfect and very stock-like. Car sounds incredible. Not sure what people are talking about with drone, IMO it doesn't drone at all and could afford to be a bit louder if anything. If you're in central Florida go to Road Runner Muffler on Michigan for the best deals in the area. Charged me $100, 1/2 as much as Muffler Man quoted me. Tint getting done tomorrow because as much as I love fish bowl the sun is too lit in FL.
