Hi, I’m a young student in mechanic, I just got myself a Bmw 328xi 2011 for a new daily since I’ve heard the N52 is a great engine. I’m jumping from a Kia spectra 5 2009 to this beauty I have now. I absolutely love it and I’m proud of it since it’s my first real “cool” car.

I’ve been going through though times for my mental health these last few months and I need something to work and put my attention on in hope to feel better. What could I add on it? I’ve been thinking about “converting” it to a 330xi by adding the three stage intake manifold. Also making it bi-color, black and white would be really clean. I would add a black m-style spoiler, black mags and black wrap for the headlights and backlights. I don’t know what to do for the exhaust tho, I want something that sounds good, but not too loud. What do you think?Anything else I could add? I’m open to every suggestions. Thanks!

It's pretty slow only making about north of

3000 horsepower

Its a used 2011 Chevy Malibu, I got it for a steal of $1,500, drives amazingly with no issues

I love this thing with my soul, it’s a 2009 Lexus GX470 but the V8 guzzles my gas but it’s worth it.

140,000 miles bought it for $1,600.

1989 Honda Accord, genuinely fell in love with this car when I saw her on Facebook marketplace. Only 116000 miles and everything works great with just a few minor issues. Almost zero rust, the radio antenna still works and the original OEM radio is still in. She even has the original carb.

I am looking to buy my first car, I have over 5k saved so I could buy this one in full. The car fax is clean and the battery was replaced in 2013. Would it be a good idea to buy it and have money saved to replace the battery again at some point? I am disabled and low income so I need a car that’s gonna last a long time with no serious issues.

I was thinking about giving my 16 year old son my m440 and I was wondering what you guys think and anything to know about it. Thanks!

Oga guma goo rah da do rah cah cha

220k miles and a million problems. But overtime it taught me how to wrench and solve problems myself (with youtubes help). Sold after graduating to buy a 90s 4runner and i miss it everyday. Especially now that the 4runner is too inefficient to keep🥲

Also mods get a hold of your sub and get rid of the joke posts, they're annoying as heck

I bought my first car at 19, figured this was the group to share to.

1st car was a 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage Hatchback but I was more "borrowing" that car for the past year. I bought the mustang with my own money so pretty happy with it.
