Anyone from Tampa/Brandon area ?

JNitram335i · 11-03-2014, 06:52 PM

I just got my first BMW (2011 335i M Sport) a couple of days ago and I think I will never own any other brand of vehicle. Im located in the Tampa/Brandon area and I'm interested in attending car meets and such. Any good shops for maintenance and care around the area? any one you specifically recommend? Feel free to shoot me a message. I would greatly appreciate it.

Tampa work/ Springhill is where I live. Plenty of cars in the area. Im not in the meets crowd but I know cars and coffee on Saturday will find you a crowd to hang with.

There is a mobile tech who does 100% of the work on my car. Im real handy behind a wrench but he knows a BMW like no other. LillyAutomotive is his name on here.

I can help if you need any kind of coding and such. Welcome to the town.

Hey, if there's anything I can help you with send me a pm, text, email. The axoim is pretty active on the forums, and he is from Tampa. I'm in lakeland but Tampa is close enough. I don't get out much for meets in stuff but there's quite a bit that goes on around here. Also check out Facebook groups. Nice ride by the way, I have an 09 335xi manual.

WilliamS can do quite a bit of coding if you ever are interested in that.

Thanks for the reply. I was looking into manuals but this one cough my eye. Plus manuals are hard to find around here idk why. I will probably do some research about coding. Sounds interesting.

Yeah they are rare. Look around the forums about coding, there's some neat stuff you can do. If you have any questions ask away.

If you have a Facebook or Instagram check out Tampa Bimmer

for coding, check out BMWhat app for android and ios. It has limitations but very user friendly and not too expensive. There are threads on e90post on it as well.

You can code, read and clear fault codes, and on more recent models do it thru a Bluetooth connection.

There are other options besides BMWhat but some have a steeper learning curve.

Nice ride! Looks awesome. I have an '07 335i and I'm in downtown Tampa. Definitely check out Tampa Bimmer on Facebook, they meet once every week! I've been to a couple of their events, they're great guys.
