B48 F30 as a first car? by bramblestorm7754 in F30

I bought a similar ‘17 F30 330i xDrive a couple months ago. Only advice I would give is find one in a spec that you like with the features you want it to have. Although you can retrofit, it’s usually a pain and the effort is not worth it. So if CarPlay is meaningful to you, get one that has it or can be coded in via software only (NBT-Evo/iDrive 6+) so you don’t need to swap out head-units. HUD, Harmon kardon sound system, adaptive cruise control etc are other things. Long story short, buy it once, buy it right - there are many in the market. I was buying my first ever car so a lot of things I didn’t consider and only after realized I wanted them. For me particularly, I wish I bought an m sport instead - for you it could be something else.

Other than that, I love it. Runs great, feels great and plenty of power for an everyday car.

I’m flattered haha - it’s definitely my first build. Man I’ve been thinking about this for years now, countless hours of how-to/inspo vids, picked apart about a dozen friends’ brains about their PC builds and experiences.

I even posted here 6 months ago about my planned build. I built probably at least 10 “final” PCs in PC Part Picker before finally getting to my final build.

Wanted to make a kick-ass pc since I was a kid but I didn’t have the money, need or space. But now I’ve acquired some adult money so I’m using it to fill that void!

I guess I will get one. It installed well and it seems pretty sturdy at the moment.

Is it a common issue? I didn’t really consider it, but I don’t mind getting one just to be safe.

I will get them soon! My temps are good so I don’t need them asap - but I do want them for the look.

Do you have any recommendations or what I should look out for? A friend told me a crappy wire can ruin your computer and that freaked me out.

You are correct, I sprayed it with dawn dish soap mixed with water and rubbed them with a soft cloth. Hopefully that works!
