Greetings all! I just joined the forums a few days ago, however do not be fooled. I have been lurking through these forums for a few years now.

My previous car was a 1997 Acura Integra RS. It was a lovely daily but it started to fail on me slowly. After countless repairs, I knew I needed something better. One day, I came across a E92 on the highway and immediately heard the calling! I never was a BMW believer till the day my eyes first REALIZED the beauty of the E92.

I bought this 2012 328i E92 from a private dealer for a whopping $17,200. Yup, you got it; rebuilt title! With 36,xxx miles on the ODO and in 6 speed MT, I knew she was my gal. I have been driving her for over 6 months now and the only repairs so far have been a set of 4 brand new tires (GoodYear Eagle Sports A/S 225/45/17) and an Emission Leak Diagnostic Pump replacement. It is sitting on Style 338s and it came off the lot where I bought it from with the M-sport bumper. She runs smoother than hot butter on buscuits!

I do apologize in advance for the crappy image quality. Current weather conditions are choppy and lighting is not so good. Although, these were shot using the LG G4 in RAW setting and so I did some quick edits through Photoshop to get them "decent".

Hope you like the photos and enjoy my story. Glad to finally be a part of this awesome community!

Nice car! The M-sport front is perfect, and the color is great. And good call on the 6-speed

Thank you. As of now, no major mods planned. Perhaps some wheels later on and converting the rear bumper to an M-sport as well. Wheels wise, I was actually looking into some V713s

but they'll have to wait for now. Just trying to adjust the budget for some other priorities.

Thank you all!

Thanks! It's in Deep Sea Blue Metallic (A76/5) but I will eventually need a touch-up. Car seemed to be in a minor fender bender and the tone on the doors and hood are slightly different.
