Default Hey folks!

Hey, I've just finalized a deal on a 99 ti I've had my eyes on for a few months. She's now officially mine. This is my first BMW, and I am very excited. It's completely stock, except for a sirius sat radio installed by the previous owner. Any suggestions on some typical housekeeping I should preform before I start driving it daily? I appreciate any help and opinions.

welcome, if you have the money it couldn't hurt to replace the cooling system as preventive maintenance, they're a known weak spot

They are fun little cars, keep an eye on the starter, I had mine a year and it died and is no fun to replace!

I'll have a few pictures posted tonight I think. I've been busy with work and school and haven't had time to get a decent picture. There are 122000 kms on it. The starting motor was replaced last year but it sounds much different than any other starting motor I've heard before. I suppose it's just that it's aftermarket or something..
