Old Honda -> 2018 440i

FLAgators · 03-28-2017, 05:55 PM

Hey guys!

I am completely new to the BMW community and am really excited to join the club once the 2018 440i M sport mineral grey metallic BMW I ordered arrives in May! I have been driving a 2004 Honda Civic with roll down windows for 13 years, it's a bare bones car that I got back in high school and now I am about to graduate professional school soon. Needless to say, it's time for an upgrade! The Honda has treated me very well, but I am ready to have fun when cruising around instead of fearing for my life in my shaky old Civic with blown out speakers. I will post some pics of the new ride when it comes in. I am pretty stoked!

Nice! I just traded in my A3 for a 430i, and love it.

Congrats on your new car! Maybe you could keep the Honda as a second car, they're pretty bullet proof and it could last you another decade and 200k miles.

Pics or it didn't happen!

Congratulations! That's quite an upgrade. Waiting for pics.

I want to see the Civic parked next to your new ride! Congrats!

Grats & enjoy the new car!

Reward yourself if you have the means but dont go overboard! Car spending is a bottomless pit money pit.

Been driving BMWs since I graduated school. Do I enjoy them? Heck yeah, are they a waste of money? Yup. If I had to do it all over again I would have just kept my E90 and continued to fix it myself and invested more.

Congrat you are going to love your new ride.

Couldn't have said it better myself... "Hi, my name is... and I'm a CarHolic"...

Welcome and congrats! How did you spec your 440, anything in addition to M Sport?
