Newbie in the House!

I learned of this site through another BMW Forum. And I am glad I did. I am not sure if this is the right forum for this. But here goes. I have a 2008 BMW 528i. I have had it for 6 months now. Is there any performance chips or other enhancements to boost the power?

Hello

I just joined the site today. I came across the forum with a google search and I'm happy that I stumbled on it. Quick question for anyone who may be able to help me figure something out. I'm interested in purchasing a 2007 CPO 335i coupe but the car's VIN number does not come up on Car Fax. Is this common or potentially a scam? The dealer explained that this is an executive's former vehicle and never titled to any owner. A question that comes to mind is that on most Car Fax reports the date/port of entry to the US is available but not in this situation.

Any suggestions or questions that I should ask since Car Fax cannot tell me if this car has been in an accident or maybe a rental vehicle.

Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Cool How did I find this site?

First of all Hello to all.. I googled BMW & this was one of the sites. I could not pass it up. This is my 2nd bimmer a 85 528e with 163k and little rust and runs great. Only changed the battery, some fuel hoses, air, oil fiters plus of course the oil. The only concern i have is the mileage i think i'm only getting 17 to 18 mpg. And @ the prices today that's a concern. The other bimmer was a 87 325is a real kick butt auto., but, maintance was too high. anybody have an idea on what/how to get better mileage plz let me know. thzzz..

I was actually interested in trying to find out other owners inputs on BMW's instead of my friends. I google searched BMW Forums and this was one of the first ones.

I used to play counter strike when I met this sexy indian man named ///M POWER. I had chats with him in game/aim/alladmin.net and he got me interested. I sent him a pic of the first Bimmer I was considering buying (alpine E36 325i) He told me that the wheels were hideous (they were...trust me) the headlights were hideous and to watch out because the subframe was weaker on the earlier E36s .. or something like that.

not too long after that I went looking for E36 325is everywhere and finally settled on an E30 325i. been here since.
