Newbie checkin in

Hey everyone,

I'm Mark 28 years old and newbie at acurazine...not really new because I've been reading posts and threads for more than a year.I've been around many forums but this one is the one for me.Passion for cars hockey n sports guy.
My 1st car was an Acura Integra(92). I drive a 335I right now so I hope to be accepted altough i don't own one(Acura).Before someone goes out there and call me another 335i statistic let me first say that my older brother is the big man at Otto's BMW(Local BMW Dealer in Ottawa) so I got the car at only 100 $ over invoice.Second thing is that I desperatly wanted one since I saw one for the first time.It's still a very rare sight in Ottawa as of now..about the car i think uve heard it all...6 speed gearbox is heaven,impressive power and decent everyday ride(I haven't seen winter yet with it.I've heard bad stories with RWD).
I really hope to have a great time with you guys and share stories. Happy ownership to all.

P.S Please excuse the lazy writeup its midnight here.

Yes, welcome to Acurazine.
Don't worry, you'll find a bunch of Audi, Benz and Bimmer lovers all over "Car Talk" and throughout this site.
And most of us either considered, have or had a BMW at some point (although I couldn't consider BMW on one occasion since it doesn't make a minivan. ).

In about a month there are going to be more 335 drivers than there are Acura drivers, so you're in good company here. Welcome.

I live in a condomnium so impossible to take indoor pics. I had my nephew come with me to the mall parking so he could use his new camera...







Hope it works should be enough for now.MORE will follow

To be honest with you, black looks very nice on this car. On the other hand the pictures were taken on a friday and the car had a hand car-wash on the wednesday. Now I understand why people don't buy black anymore.Impossible to keep clean.

You've probably heard of the Vishnu Procede Package. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...cleId=119485#5

Performance highlights: Sixty mph arrives in 4.6 seconds and the quarter-mile flashes by in 13.0 seconds at 109 mph, 0.3 second quicker than the stock 335i.the torque peaks at 390 lb-ft — 114 lb-ft more than stock.Full production versions are available now for about $1,300. Nothing on the exterior and interior. has been touched except Magnaflow exhaust tips. Do you think It's worth it?

Hey I noticed you ordered a 335i in Monaco blue . Man you it's a great decision you've made...If you've already test driven the car you know what I mean(Fckin crazy torque) I got mine with all options. Now I just have to wait three weeks until my Procede Chip gets here .I strongly suggest you get one for yours too. Throw on some nice stickey tires for summer and you have the ultimate driving machine. . You got the 6MT?
