Thumbs up Introduction

Hi All,

I'm new to the forum, having just bought a 2014 535d. I've been reading through posts here for a few days, so I thought I'd go ahead and register. I've learned a lot already, and looking forward to learning much more.

Jeff

Welcome to the forum. Can we assume this is your first BMW or F10?

Thanks, everyone! I'll post a couple pics in a few minutes.

Yes, this is my first BMW. I've owned 25+ vehicles throughout my life, primarily 4WD diesel trucks (just traded my 2015 F350) and American sports cars (last was a CTS-V). Looking forward to something new (and hopefully exciting).

No worries, I checked out your link. Love the CF replacements!

The pictures appear right-side-up to me on this thread, but when I first posted them they were upside down and I had to flip them. Do they still appear upside down for you if you refresh the page?

OK, I've flipped them again now. For me they appear upside down now using three different computers, but on my phone they appear right-side up now. Maybe my profile has me set to Australia mode or something.

Thanks! I wanted the diesel since I drive ~30k miles/yr. Hopefully the longevity of the motor and the bazillion sensors this thing has prove worthy of the challenge.
