    New car, not an Audi, still German

    Well, after being in bed with S4's for the past 9 years, I decided I needed a new platform, and the current Audi offerings in my price range are pretty lackluster to be honest. Picked this bad girl up this weekend (2015 M235ix). I know some of you guys have more than Audi's, know of any good forums like this one for BMW? And yes, I already feel like my driving is more asshole-ish. Also, I plan on picking up a sub-$1k B5 A4 for my 15 year old son this summer for us to overhaul. So I'll be returning...

    That is sweet. I always have a soft corner for BMW's. And that color. Not sure about 2 series, but e90post is an active forum, there should be a sub forum for your series too.

    I'm doing the opposite. Been a BMW owner for my past couple cars and now coming to Audi looking for a B8.5 S4 since I'm also looking for a new platform.

    My latest car was a decently modified BMW 335 and e90post is the most active forum. Even if it's not for specifically 2 series, the n54/n55 discussion areas on e90post are extremely active.

    Enjoy the new car!

    thanks for all the suggestions. I'm loving this car so far. So fast and sounds so nice. Once I hit 50k miles and the warranty is up, I'll def be pushing the snot out of this motor with tunes and bolt ons.

    Just make sure you check and change the engine oil often (more than the recommended 10k miles intervals); that's been one of the downfalls of those BMW engine crapping out early.

    Well by then there will be tons of options. The Pure Turbo setups I've seen on the N55s are making great power!
