Say Hi! New 2008 E90 328i Owner

Fringedove · 02-02-2026, 02:58 PM

Hey everyone,
Finally joined the BMW family with a 2008 E90 328i (N52, automatic). I’ve been lurking for a while and this forum helped a lot with the buying process.

Quick specs:
• Alpine White / Black interior
• 112k miles
• Recent maintenance: VCG, OFHG, plugs, coils, battery
• Mods: black kidney grilles, LCI tails, LED interior

Car drives great so far and I’m planning a clean OEM+ daily build — wheels, suspension, and M Sport bits next.

Looking forward to learning and contributing. Pic coming soon 📸

Welcome. Do you also have a special pre-production model with peeling magnesium?

This is going to become our first question to newcomers for the next 5 years.
