Sweet. I love the color.

Well done Turkish Pickle love to hear the direction and discipline. I too love the color but if I could have all the skittles in my driveway I would, so there’s that.

What mods are planned?

Thank you guys! Really appreciate your words

For mods: I'm still in the planning stage. Mostly going cosmetic since '21 B46 hasn't been cracked yet (to my knowledge), so I can't even tune. Plus the engine sounds ok from the inside so not in a rush for an exhaust, either.

Cosmetics: I'm looking for a black M340i grill, I like the diamond pattern more. Also going to do a chrome delete with the logos (I think), I want the only chrome to be the wheels and the 330i badge on the back.

Oh and, the reflector delete for the front. The rear isn't as bad but the front is definitely an eye sore!

Congrats man, you'll love it! I love mine.
I think it's the best all around balanced sport sedan available in this price range. I think it's gonna be a keeper for me.

EDIT: I realized it's a 330i but it's still a great ride. I thought that I read you had the M340i which of course is excellent. Lol.

Nice car pickle. Wish I had the means to afford a brand new BMW when I graduated from college.

My very first car was a BMW.... it was a used 1970-something E21 that had rust issues, smelled like bowling alley, and took about 20 seconds to get to 60mph. Neutral dropping the automatic was the only way to get the tires to spin, so I had as much fun as I could doing that for a few months until the transmission imploded.

My next victim was a used MKII GTI 5spd and I had fun driving that into the ground literally as I plowed into a dirt embankment in the rain. I spent a summer shredding front tires doing standstill burnouts in parking lots. I tried to teach my friend how to drive stick in it. After awhile it stopped shifting into 1st so I had to get rid of it.

Then I got my first brand new car, a shiny new Civic EJ1 5spd. We cut the springs in my friend's garage, changed the lightbulbs, got a shift knob, you know, all the baller stuff a high schooler could do.

Spun the Civic in a street race on a windy road. This was years before The Fast and The Furious, so it was cutting edge

Man, those were fun times!
