Hello all,

Brand new to BMW and e90post.com. I bought a used 335i 07 low mileage (mid 35's) for an amazing price last Sept. Is nice when your friends work for dealers lol. I must say that BMW definitely lives up to its slogan that its the ultimate driving machine. Last car was a 99 Mustang GT, not sure what was done to the car besides it being lowered and sounded more aggressive then a stock GT. Loved the raw power of the Ford but wow after being in this 335i I'm always smiling.

Not much done to the 335i besides M3 bumper, HID fogs, bought H&R Sport springs which i dont think i want to install (i like the ride to much as it is) so if anyone would like brand new sport springs let me know. However i am thinking of doing software update from Rouge Engineering in Ramsey NJ. They recommended going with GIAC's flash. Not trying to be the fastest on the road but just want to feel a little quicker then bone stock.

Anyway just wanted to say hello and join the ranks with all you other Bmer fanatics and glad to be on board with BMW.

Whats good ChillBil - I take it you notice a pretty moderate difference in stage 1 from being bone stock. I was quoted at around 800 for the upgrade so its good to hear that someone like you did the same upgrade and is pleased with it. Ill def look into it. Thanks!

Thanks! No its Killington VT. Last seasons pic - as you can see they were hurting on the dry spell with snow. Not exactly sure when i took the pic must of been at the very end but thats how it looked pretty much the whole season. Hopefully this season will pick up! Itching to go boarding again.

Buy used Cobb AP 650 and not have to deal with reflashes or paying for more maps later on

Thats actually all Killington in that pic. Pico you pass on route 4 in Mendon b4 you climb what they call "The Pass" then at the bottom make a right onto the service road that takes you passed Jax and Pickle Barrel etc then K1.

You missed nothing last season. lol a lot of icy spots and most of the snow was all made by the blowers. Never been to Tremblant, most my friends now work/live in Killington so head up there all the time.

You shoulda seen what VT looked like after the hurricane... unreal looking - whole houses moved across streets, bridges gone, major roads all washed away. Looked like something straight out of a movie.
