Long time Fan, First BMW owned in the US

Daevidel · 01-03-2012, 06:45 PM

Bought my First BMW in Germany for a few thousand D-marks. It was a typical German family sedan, no A/C, basic function 518i but it had skills.... Previous owner had spent a bundle on wheels and tires and even my wife loved how this car handled. Nothing could compare until....

I bought my first BMW in the US just before thanksgiving. I got a 2004 325Ci convertible. Not the fastest off the line but the gas mileage is great and I LOVE this car. It only had 43,6k on it and although according to CarFax it has been wrecked, I could not find anything other than some suspicious paint chips on the hood and so far it is a dream.

I found this site while looking for a way to put the top down using my key. Owners manual says this is an option. I am going to go look around in the forums for this because I think I saw a link to the relevant subject matter. Maybe I can find out how to fix the trim covers my car is missing while I am at it...

A happy owner of his first convertible...

Good looking car and welcome.
Yeah they have that option to open and close your car top using the remote; the convince package option. You can use BMW DIS to code that option.
