Hello From the Ca Bay Area

Hello! I am normally an air cooled VW guy but I got a deal on a 2001 330ci 5Spd that I could not refuse.
It needs a little mechanical TLC due to the previous owner being a little short on funds to keep the car up the last couple of years but it was otherwise well cared for and never driven hard. I know this because the PO for the last 10 years was my sister

Anyhow. I am not new to forums and know how to use the search function, so you probably wont hear much from me, just a lot of lurking

Welcome

nice coupe! You will find many resources on maintenance. And I bet the mod bug will bite you one day, there are plenty of options for modding as well.

Thanks Guys! Im sure i will do some upgrades along the way. As far as wheels, I really like these but you never know. Right now my priorities are tires, brakes and diagnose the growling noise under the hood.
