Default Finally An Introduction!

Hey all,

I've been lurking here for about a year now, and I figured it's about time to introduce myself. I was a hardcore BMW fan, but recently switched to Lexus due to reliability issues. My previous set of cars were:

'95 325i
'99 330i
'02 E46 330Ci
'03 E46 M3
'09 E92 335i (lemoned)
'10 E90 335i (lemoned)

So yeah, mostly BMW's. I got my 2011 ISF a little more than a year ago and I'm loving it! Anyhow, here are some pics for you guys. Hope to do some mods soon!

Congrats on the F, and welcome to CL! What mods do you have planned? Certainly there's a lot of great info here and, though the aftermarket support isn't as extensive as BMW, there are some great options available whether it be for performance or aesthetics.

Thanks guys! I plan on getting a full catback exhaust (Borla or Joe Z) and eventually rims and suspension. I like the 2012 OEM rims so if anyone wants to swap with me, I'll pay cash on top

As for learning about previous BMW's, I actually had little issues with them until I got my 335's. The E46 M3 was such a fun dynamic car, and I really miss it. I probably had a total of 8 failed HPFP and 4 injector issues between my 335's, so after that experience (and being stranded in random places), I finally said enough...

Here are 2 pics of the M

Welcome to CL. Nice ride you got there. Since you've been a BMW type of guy and you have driven M3/335s and now the F, tell us what's the biggest difference.
