New member from Austin, Texas

mikebikes361 · 07-19-2015, 08:55 PM

New member from Corpus Christi, Texas currently residing in Austin Texas.
Well, I finally went in on making a purchase I been wanting to do for a good while now. Been saving and looking for a manual white BMW for almost a year and half now. Originally was looking for a face lift E46, but found a BMW that caught my interest in San Antonio. Made the trip to San Antonio in my 2008 Honda Civic. Came back to Austin with a beautiful alpine white 2011 328i BMW w/ the M Sport package 6MT! Came with 44K on the odometer. It's pretty crazy going from the Civic to the bimmer. So many features I feel like I learn something new about my car every day. Stoked to be apart of the forum! Don't really have too many future mods in mind. Need a roof rack for my bicycle because my bike isn't touching the seats. Nor is a trunk rack touching the trunk. Anyways, here she is!

Nice find, clean car

wdeerfield · 07-20-2015, 07:44 AM

looks great! nice color combo. bmx bike yours? i havent touched mine in years but i have a fly pantera with all odyssey parts and LHD. For a rack, id get the Thule Sidearm so you dont have to take the front wheel off all the time.

Yup the bike is mine! I was hoping the photo to bring up some guys that ride, or guys who use to ride. That's awesome man. Sounds pretty close to my bike besides the frame! I'll look into that rack as well. Thanks!

Thanks! It's definitely a task, but doing what I can. Been looking at the detailing thread for some recommended products.
