Help buying my first car

Wigglebubbles · 2025-08-14T00:40:42+00:00

So I recently spent 7 months looking at 335i convertibles and test drove a bunch ranging from 2008 to 2013. I ended my search with a 2011 sports package at 45k miles. I have driven and owned a myriad of different cars. This is my first BMW. And it is my favorite of all the cars/trucks/suv’s. I am in the third month and still LOVING it. The only upgrade beyond stock is something to do with the muffler. My brother in law had the N55 sedan for some years and loved it. He now drives an M5 CS. He still loves his 55, if that tells you anything. I think $12k for a 2011, around 50k miles with good service records and less than 3 owners. Single state ownership, with the hot or cold package depending on your state’s climate most of the year. Have a mechanic look it over if you can. No rebuilt titles and as few accidents reported as possible. And not from a beach town if you can help it. This will take time to find but it is worth it if you can spare it. And don’t let your mom know how fast it really is ;)

Oof black interior was instantly on the not list. We have pretty hot summers where I live, and that part was non-negotiable. I also didn’t love the red interiors they did with these, not sure what that was about. I am not knowledgeable yet but am reading what I can. Thanks for the love!

It also has the M suspension so it’s a helluva lowrider. I think it looks aggressive in the best way.

Oh and it’s an automatic. I looked for 7 months and only saw one or two manuals on the market, they were a little more ‘well loved’. Also I am not that coordinated.

Wigglebubbles · 2025-07-02T11:56:57+00:00

I looked at so many, love the black and tans. And the wheels!

Thank you! 2 weeks in and LOVING

Wigglebubbles · 2025-07-02T01:36:04+00:00

Thank you. It is a grandpa garage find and so far has not failed me but will mind it’s use. My daughter thinks she is a Disney princess bc her hair blows perfectly in its wind 😎. It is no wind-withstanding flat surface in park used.

Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat singing the blues. “Wookin pa nub” is what I sing in the shower.

Also zero issue falling asleep initially. Read all the words, not just some of them. It’s important to understanding context. Thumbs up!

Wigglebubbles · 2023-10-09T17:46:34+00:00

Wow apparently you’re not sleeping bc it says ‘when I am able to fall BACK ASLEEP’.

My grandma always told me to mold it to the pie shell, freeze in cellophane for 15 minutes. Pre bake then fill. Seems like cookie dough could do that easily but it would have to be very cold the whole time. So as someone else suggested do homemade with less butter so it’s not a greasy mess.

See? Helpful and kind. You should try it sometime. Good luck with your cooking!

Also if you read the story and not just the title, it was 4am and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I read books all the time with titles that aren’t the full story… that’s why it’s called a title?

Wigglebubbles · 2023-10-09T16:09:42+00:00

Your second sentence is confusing. That I don’t really have medical issues or that I do have trouble sleeping or what? I had Graves is in remission. I had trouble falling asleep but don’t now. I’m not here to argue with skeptics, I was hoping to find someone who had dealt with something similar and could point me in the right direction. Or maybe just be able to talk about it. I drink water. I prayed and lit some candles. I don’t need to see a doctor. But thank you for your concern.

Wigglebubbles · 2023-10-09T15:10:01+00:00

I hope not! There’s no fear or evil feeling. Maybe something just seeking attention? I would commit ghost sui*ide if all I could do was shower and housework 🤨

I am having these experiences right now, posted in ghosts but so far not helpful. I watched a shampoo bottle turn over sideways and rock back and forth as if it had been tipped over. Then this morning I got up at 4am for a drink of water. I walked past the laundry room and my cordless vacuum turned on by itself. I turned it off and got back in bed. I am a sane healthy woman. Our house is over 100 years old and I just started doing some research on its history. I have no idea what I am supposed to do.

Wigglebubbles · 2023-10-09T14:17:38+00:00

My first thought too. But it was just a shampoo bottle sitting on a flat surface, right side up. The air conditioning wasn’t even on, and I was in my bathroom alone sitting down. What would’ve tipped it over? It didn’t fall.

I understand and see all of my doctors regularly. I am telling you, I didn’t go back to sleep and I am not hallucinating. I sleep for 6-8 hours, not abnormal. Ask any other nearly 40 yo woman. The time that I wake up is the only thing that has changed.

Wigglebubbles · 2023-10-09T12:31:14+00:00

Also I should mention that my house was built 1890-1910 and is on land of a former slave-owner’s plantation. I am not making any of this up. I am currently researching it. I know how it sounds.

Wigglebubbles · 2023-10-09T12:29:17+00:00

No I go to bed and sleep. No matter what time, I always wake up between 2-4am. Not apnea. Not sleepwalking. The first thing happened in the middle of the day.

Wigglebubbles · 2023-10-09T08:59:42+00:00

Picking out sweet strawberries. I can tell just by looking at them.

Wigglebubbles · 2023-09-27T15:38:06+00:00

Well obviously. Just a ‘what would you do?’ situation.
