bmw newbie

Hey everyone,

just purchased my first bmw ever on saturday... jet black e92 335i 09. I bought it at mckenna bmw but can I get it serviced anywhere else? I live close to crevier and sterling. Also, I'm looking to add some bolt ons that will add some quick power without voiding all my warranties... Any suggestions? Thanks!

yes you can take it to whichever dealer you want for any future services/issues/problems. You may want to look in the dealer section for feedback to see which dealers are more "friendly" than others and that includes "mod friendly" dealers.

Anything you put on there can potentially void your warranty if the dealer can pin the blame of an issue as a result of the mod being put on. For example another member here replaced his angel eye with aftermarket bulbs and sometime later that particular headlight wouldnt adjust by itself and the dealer made him pay for the cost of the headlight.

But for quick "bolt on" power you are probably going to be looking at an ecu tune ie procede, juicebox (jb), sstt (turbo timer), or a Dinan flash. Check out the turbo section and you'll get an overwhelming amount of information from other members. Do a search before posting a new topic there or else they will rip you a knew one. Good luck and welcome!

thanks for the welcome guys. i'll get some pics this weekend...everytime i get out of work its dark already. I can see why people keep getting bimmers and thanks for the heads up on the advisor, i'll definitely look into that.

As far as the rims, i dont think i'll go anything bigger than 19s haha, but all that can wait until i break the car in a little more.
