SinTheDeceiver 16 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 Hello Everyone This is my 1st time here, and i have always love BMW's. My 1st was a 1988 730i, which i had to sell due to money issues... but so far the best car i have ever owned. However... I will be picking up a new car on monday! A 2015 435i M Sport ?? in (midnight blue?) with Cream leather interior. im so excited I'm gonna explode ? I'm glad to be here and will post more pics when i pick her up! 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiddy 76 Report post Posted September 20, 2020 Welcome, nice looking car and a fab colour. Your 730 would feel like a tug boat in a 4m swell compared to your new ride. Enjoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted September 21, 2020 might be worth upgrading the charge pipe as they are easily broken and will leave your car in limp mode (most likely) if it decides to blow up when you're driving. plenty of options out there, dont bother replacing with genuine part (plastic) get an upgrade one from VRSF, BMS, or even FTP is fine for this purpose. make sure you keep up with regular oil change with good quality oil and filter. dont ever pass 10,000km service intervals. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted September 22, 2020 I got my FTP from shipped from Taiwan through their website but you can get them almost anywhere online. Only local supplier I know of would be ESP who have their own branded one I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
