Hey all! I've been perusing this forum for quite a while, but finally took the plunge and bought an FE just yesterday. I don't even have it yet - they are doing a dealer trade and bringing it in Mon or Tues most likely. I'm beyond stoked.

I know the general rule, that a car doesn't exist till I post photographic proof
Don't worry though, the moment I have it I'll post plenty of pics. It's nice to meet you all. Cheers!

 

Congrats man! I love my FE, I have had three Xs over the years and I keep coming back. I recommend leaving it stock for a bit, mare sure it's 100% then get a very good pro tune if you feel the need for a mod. It will help bring the honeymoon stage back.

Other than that just get tires and oil changes, find a back road and burn that gas!

 

You're so excited you posted before you even have he car lol. Congrats bro! They are fun.

Btw.. be careful this car attracts nothing but boys. The women will look away lol.

 

Clean looking car !!!!

 

Make sure you do a full walk around on it before you sign the final papers. Look really really close. This is rare, but things can happen to a car during trades. My 08 was ran off of a truck that jacked up the rear passenger door and quarter panel, and the dealer they were trading with tried to hide it. I didn't find out until about three months later.

So now, no matter what, all new cars I buy I walk around with a fine tooth comb before I buy.

 

nice!!! congratulations

 

And with no further ado....

 

Damn sorry they uploaded from my phone upside down for some reason. You get the gist lol. And thanks for the advice everyone. I took a good hard look at the dealership when I picked it up today but after reading what you said migs i think I'll give it a few more passes.

Anywho, the car is incredible. Good lord it's fast. It makes my old 2009 3 series feel like a lawn mower.

 

Helpful for those in Australia. (obligatory upside down picture joke)
Welcome to the club, Enjoy it! I'm sure you will not have a problem with that though.

 

Great looking car, I have the same color!

 

same color as mine!!! except mine is an MR and mine is right side up (-:

 

Sweet ride. Congrats and welcome!

 

me too!! just bought a wicked white!! FE already lowered it on H&R Apexi intake and a few cosmetics lol it hasn't been a week yet!

 

Oh hah very nice Leo. I'm going to be keeping it simple for now. I just got a clear bra installed yesterday, and next on my list are tints and mudflaps. I'm going to keep the performance parts stock for a bit to both get a better understanding of the stock capabilities and to make sure no major mechanical faults occur in the first few thousand miles (if it was a lemon, I'd know by then). But anyway that's awesome man. Welcome to the FE crew. Post some pics when you get a chance!

 

thanks man! i sure will well thats the smart approach lol I'm just too impatient for that lets just hope for the
