new member here!
hey guys, a few months back my hyundai genesis coupe was rear ended and totaled. the guy who hit me was at full liability so i ended up pretty fortunate, as i walked away with a few grand in my pocket when they paid it off. After a few months of saving up, many test drives, and alot of extensive research, i bought a CPO 2015 m235i 6 speed....ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR. yesterday i received my first of many compliments to come on this sweet ride!

Congratulations and welcome. I'd set the custom speed alert to sound off at something like 75, at least until you get used to it. Don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention, and for me it took a while to get used to how fast you can achieve some seriously illegal speeds (still keep mine alerting, but now it doesn't surprise me when it goes off).

Welcome. No disrespect to your fallen soldier, but as Maynard suggested be careful out there the BMW is a LOT more car. Especially if it's RWD you can get yourself in trouble VERY quickly.
I tell everyone this but if you haven't already an advanced driver course is 1. a lot of fun and 2. a prerequisite for properly enjoying your new toy and not adding it to the pile w. the hyundai.

Welcome - I'm in Cherry Hill - agree with the others here - learn to drive the car properly before you really flog it.

Maybe it's just me but I get horribly agitated and end up driving far out of my way due to confusion on my part in Cherry Hill.

Those circles are here in MD too... They keep replacing normal intersections with them and it's driving me crazy!

Congrats! Did you get it from Mt. Laurel? I think it's my car that I just traded in. I hope it brings you many happy miles and lots of great memories as it did for me! I still have the original Michelin pilot super sport tires in my garage if you want them!
