bought my first BMW
Hi guys my names Tyler Im 21 and just bought a 2002 bmw 330xi and decided to join this site. Alot of the car has been re done because it is highmiles 166k actually. It does have 2 small dents on the hood and some rock chips but over all a clean car with no rust anywhere. Coolent system ( water pump thermostat expansion tank) and clutch were done at 140k. At 160k axles and axle seals were done. lower control arms. Breaks were done and upgraded to slotted and drilled rotors. Shocks were done with billsteins. Wheel bearings as well. also has a full k&n cold air intake and strut bar brace on the front. The only thing I have to do is replace the oil filter housing gasket because it started leaking slightly. Well I think thats good for now. feel free to ask questions or comments. Thanks

I agree. That will be happening after winter though. I got an m3 front bumper with fogs to put on after winter as well. Hood will get fixed a that time too

Yeah I believe it needs some bushings in the rear sometime soon too. Slight clicking noise over some bumps occasionally

Hmm. The reflector looks like it's yellow? Maybe it's a reflection? Just got my first too, 325xi touring. I'm thinking of running h7 yellow bulbs, could be good for fog and have a early 90's french look....enjoy!
