My first new car, EB 2015 228i xdrive m-sport

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
After placing the order in early July, my car has finally arrived 7 weeks later. Coming from a hand-me-down 2000 Pontiac Grand Am I drove through high school and college, I can now proudly say I drive a car I love that is definitely more aesthetically pleasing than my GM counterpart, and much, much faster.

I am a newb here, so pardon the newb question: did the dealership install the black kidneys? I didn't see that listed as an option in the configurator. Same goes for the black window liner. How did you manage to get those?

On the bmwusa.com homepage you can see which accessories are available for your car, from the carbon fiber mirror caps to the m-performance exhaust - they are all can be negotiated with your dealer as the port installed options if you are ordering a car.

The black window trim is called shadowline trim, it's part of the M-Sport pkg

The black kidney grilles are the M-Performance grilles, you can get them port installed or just buy them and install them yourself, takes 5 min to do

Here are more parts you can get port installed or do yourself down the line

Car looks great OP, congrats on your first bimmer!

Beautiful car man!!! Even though there are plenty of us old guys that drive the 2ers and love them you are the exact demographic BMW was targeting when developing this car. I wished I had been able to purchase a car like this when I was your age!!!

Lots of us young kids know how to manage money. I bought my first BMW when I was 20 without any parental assistance of any kind.

That is good. You have to have money to manage it. I am now 46 and have not taken a dime from my parents since the day I turned 18. I put myself through college and took 10 years to pay it off. My first job after college I had a $25,000 a year salary. Paying for an apartment, furniture and school loans does not leave allot of money to manage. BMWs were not even in the realm of possibilities. If you were able to manage all this on your own at that age you are definitely in the minority. Most kids nowadays still live at home or have roommates until they are practically 30.
