Saw her at the market and couldn't handle the regret of not getting it, I had a 3 series for 4 years after the blue 3IS. this thing is just another world, and it feels great to be back here

 

Welcome and congrats! Glad you are really enjoying your RCF TE. I have not owned a BMW, but I have driven many versions of 3-series and 4-series especially 335i and 340i. I own a 2019 IS350 F-Sport series 3 like you. Indeed, RCF is night/day with my other Lexus cars.

BTW, my name is Faisal as well.

 

Congratulations! That's a sweet-looking ride!

 

Well i've sold both the IS and 330i to get this xD
Bmw is great but the preventive maintenance is tough and increases above 100,000 km. it's just not for the middle east imo.

Nice to meet you bro

 

Thanks
It showing some leaks in the shocks so I'm driving easy till shocks arrive this week also an Apexi exhaust from Josh.

 

Welcome to F. I also came from Bimmers (E36M and M235i) but don't miss them at all.

Any plans on mods?

 

Man I really don't miss Bmw lol finally relieved now from the coolant leakages nightmares.

I have done ceramic tint and an Apexi titanium exhaust on the way, next step is ppf. On maintenance note just did new tyres and replacing all shocks soon.

 

It also can run in the redzone all day say, on a track and nothing would overheat, go into limp mode, fall off the cliff or self destruct. It will just keep doing the same thing all day. Everything is so well regulated with cooling systems that it makes the experience seamless.

 

Congratulations. I love the white with the carbon fiber. It looks amazing.

 

i approve your purchase and color. haha.

similar thing happened to me. saw it at the dealership getting parts, took it home. enjoy!!

 

Congratulations !!!! I'm jealous. I love my 2018 and it's got every option less the TVD, original owner chose moonroof. I haven't driven one with the TVD but I wish I had it and even more so, had either the track edition or Fuji. My 2018 doesn't have launch, having the winter mode instead. I wish I had launch instead as I pull my car off the road all fall and winter, here in Minnesota. I didn't know anything about the snow mode, never used it, but I work for the Railroad and I'm out of town half the week. Well I looked at the forecast to see what was coming so I could decide which car. It looked fine so I drove my RCF. I get back and we get an early snow storm, there is already 4 inches of wet snow and it's coming down heavy. I live 30 miles away and I'm thinking forget it. I'll never make it home. I'll end up in a ditch. Well the company blocks out 75 rooms a day for crews bringing trains in and needing to rest out before heading back home. It's much closer, less than 10 miles. I hop in press the snow mode, not expecting much at all. I step on the gas pedal and I expect the wheels to spin, but they don't. Not at all and the RPMs are climbing much much slower. It feels almost like a delayed reaction and the car is moving well. I come to a stop sign to turn and I step on the brakes and I anticipate sliding badly. Holy ****, even though I may be pushing it hard, it's not clamping hard on the rotors and the car stops easily, stess free. I started driving and within 2 miles getting to the Hwy I felt so confident I drove home and never had a stressful moment. I was completely floored. That snow mode is freaking amazing.

Congrads man! The TE is such a great car. I drove it before and it felt super light. Imo feels super different.

 

Thanks for sharing your snow mode experience. No snow where I live, don't want to drive in it, but plan to do some touring and wonder about a surprise storm. Your post is good news.
