You bet!

Now the 2012 328i is the first year of the F30 chassis and it has the new N20 4 cylinder engine. Not a bad engine but keep up on the oil changes. LubroMoly/LiquiMoly is my oil of choice for turbo charged BMW engines. They are the same just different names for different markets.

It will tell you a lot about the engine and maintenance.

This one has the straight 6, no turbo, and no idrive, which is over my limited ken anyway. I drove it home today; it was a great 25-mile drive. Embarrassing, when I got it home I couldn't start it, and had to call my salesman, wasn't pushing that cockamamie key in far enough for it to click. Brand new tires and oil and filters changed. The 1/8th-inch weather strip around the rear window has come loose at one end, so I will take it to my local mechanic tomorrow, rather than drive the 25 miles back to Laurel.

I was surprised at how small the car is; it almost feels like back in the British sportscars, except for its luxury. On the drive to the dealer, in my little Maverick, I pulled up behind a little car at a stop light. It was lower than my Maverick. It was a BMW 328i !!

One of my apartment neighbors just bought a mint-condition Chrysler Crossfire, that hybrid with the Mercedes engine in it. He is having a new top made for it. So, I am hoping that he and I can attend some Saturday car shows with the tops down. I miss those weekly car shows in Texas.

Thanks again for the moral support.
