Took delivery last night after seeing it (inadvertently) on June 25, but not even thinking of getting a car until July 30…

July 2019 I met a guy who gave me his loaner M340i to drive for a week or two, and i loved it so much I promised myself I'd get one in this color once I graduate. Took me 8 months after graduating to get one and I'm extremely proud of it

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.

And a few hours later... parts needed to replace the front wheel bearings.

Do you let anyone else drive that car? Asking for myself…

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

Seriously! I was 38 when I got my first BMW. Good for Pickle.

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!

Dude,

I'm 32 and had no idea what I was looking at lol

[TiMSport]

I don't know but that card must get awfully hot if it requires that many fans!

Haha, it's a PC graphics card, there is a huge shortage of them at this time, they're selling for double online. I was able to snag one for MSRP after joining a waiting list.

The one it's replacing is actually water cooled, comes with a small radiator.

For those that are still unsure, I'm not entirely certain this product description will help. LOL.

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 provides players with the ability to vanquish 1080p and 1440p gaming, while providing a quality NVIDIA RTX experience and a myriad of productivity benefits. The card is powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which doubles down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced RT cores, Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors. With 12GB of GDDR6 memory, high-end performance does not have to be sacrificed to find a card for gaming and everyday use. Combined with the next generation of design, cooling, and overclocking utilizing EVGA Precision X1, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Series redefines what it means to be built for gaming and productivity.

Because I know you don't think about ray tracing and AI performance on your Windows 7 computers.

Ok, received my new levers today, they look kinda spacey and futuristic but should improve driving very well - unfortunately the SOB of a seller attached the wrong adapters to make them fit for my bike, so I have to return them and waiting for the right ones, bummer

So go to a college. Or don't you have the means yet? When I graduated from the (country's best) university I had to walk to save on public transport (couldn't easily afford another bus ticket, etc.). They say in UK you can drive a BMW right out of school: https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1825655.

When that happened to my first car I took my chance to learn/practise driving a hard-core, non-synchronised manual. And I got stuck a few times before I realized I needed that "technique" to engage the reverse gear in my brand new BMW (it ran in very quickly though).

Wife just brought home a new car. Q3 loaded. I think she is going to love it. My photography kung fu is weak but it looks good in person.
