I love Bimmerpost.
I am the new owner of an X3 XDrive 30i and came here to learn more about the BMW experience and the car. I find lots of useful information on maintaining the automobile inside and out, best soaps, foam cannons, and repair tips. I see posts about common issues, how to fix them or prevent them from happening in the first place. I learn where to take the automobile for service based on the issue, either a dealer or third party specialist. And the pictures of the members’ cars in all those fantastic BMW colors all detailed out- forget about it. Beautiful.
What I find hard to comprehend is the plethora of TLA (three letter acronyms) that are used and that I have to look up - part of the learning curve I know. Also in abundance are the BMW specific words and products that are foreign to me. I site a post below to show as an example:

“Hello, I am the current owner of a 22 G01 LCI with a B58 series six updated with the PPF front upper facia trim, carbon fiber center console trim and piano black mid front stalk. I am running Michelin 245/265 RF -staggered of course with the no spare cover and the M4 sport tuned package tray in the rear. SensaTec perf Tacoma seats and anthracite HL with purple mood adaptive LEDs and EV routing on the iDrive 7 using three bot mods with the add on for mobile automatic updates. Upgraded the turbos, added a CAI and oil catch can with the M40i shadow line Laser mirrored beams and truespec live camera version 4.0. My question is, what kind of gas should I be using or should I just look at getting a M40i in Phytonic blue?”

Hope it made you laugh, enjoy the rest of your day…
