retoropak · 02-20-2022, 12:07 AM

E36m3 was first

E21 second, then two more e21s and e53 in between.

I kept one e21 and recently got f32

Saved up my money after I graduated high-school and because I'm young and dumb I bought a 2007 335i e90 in 2019. At the time I wasn't educated enough about these cars which had me struggling for a while, but it motivated me to self-educate about BMW. It's been a wild ride so far because the previous owner didn't take care of it. It's a wonderful project though. Currently saving up for something reliable as a daily. Thinking of the new Toyota GR86

Daniel021 · 02-23-2022, 12:33 AM

First e90 318i 2008
Second e91 320d 2012

My First is this 2016 X3 xDrive28i, So far so good. Looking to see what I can do to upgrade and tinker with it.

Good thread here! My first BMW was a 1973 2002. Malaga red with tan interior. Bought it in 1993 for $3,000 at the time. Loved that car, and mounted E21 alloys and Recaro seats. Never could quite get the Metric Mechanic cars running quite right. Lack of a fifth gear for the freeways along with lacking A/C in inland Southern California meant I just couldn't justify keeping it. Also no way to financially justify keeping a third car at the time right out of university, so ended up selling it in 1996 for the same $3,000 I bought it for. Whoever bought it got a damn good car! I used the proceeds to buy a '91 325iX which was another great car for another thread. The rest as they say, is history...

Maybmelo · 03-09-2022, 11:13 AM

My first is a 08 bmw m3 e93 model and love it

Fredward20 · 03-09-2022, 01:10 PM

Currently in a G20 330i xdrive ‘20

I remember when my best friend in high school got a manual 1982 240d mercedes that I thought was sweet. Had classic lines and an iconic story in Europe. I followed him with a less classic but still a euro mercedes with a manual c240. I sold the mercedes and bought the 15 x5 I have now, funny enough my same buddy followed me into a BMW with a 128. Guess we both are just following eachother's lead... until he bought a porsche last year and I'm not sure I can keep up anymore...

ztech · 03-17-2022, 08:53 PM

1992 BMW 325i. 150K miles, but drove great.

Great choice and I love the color!

HeartbreakerF80 · 03-25-2022, 02:47 AM

My first BMW and first nice car I ever owned. My F80 M3. I got lucky and found this incredibly rare spec CPO and have loved her ever since.

StuKatz · 03-27-2022, 09:33 AM

1989 E30
Bought it in 1993 from a coworker. It felt like no other car I'd ever driven.

I've owned a BMW ever since!

RalfNitto · 03-31-2022, 03:22 AM

I was so excited when I finally purchased my new 2013 M6. It was everything I had ever wanted and more. I couldn't wait to take it for a spin and show it off to all of my friends.

Now I wished i had just waited a bit longer and got the m6 Gran Coupe.
