I was looking for my first car and drove a 2006 330xi. I ended up with a 2007 Lexus IS 250 AWD. Luckily, I ended up working for a BMW dealership 4 years later and I finally got a 3 series after all these years

my first bmw was an Alpine white e36m3 - still miss that raw feel of this car.
Then I got my e21 which is totally different. Its cool because its an old BMW but thee36 defined that bmw drivers car for me. I had an e53 x5 with m62 and even though it was an suv it still had that bmw feel. Now I have f32 440i and its a great car yet it lack that raw feel. Its way more refined and isolated from the environment. It is much better daily tho. |

First BMW i drove was a Hartge E21, the car was stuck in the garage for more than 5 years or so, Inflated the tires, replaced the battery then filled it with fresh gas. Smells like a box of crayons inside and the smell of foul gasoline coming from the tail pipes. You can feel the engine coughing then smoothes out. God I miss that car…

Mid 70's BMW Bavaria. It was my girlfriends car so I don't remember the exact year.

5 series, 2014 model fully spec’d. Lil bro bought it and since that day I just loved the brand. Bought myself an austin yellow M4 f83 in 2018… absolute machine. Got rid when I started a family. Now have a X1 F83 2018. Miss the M4 dearly!

2004 330i ZHP 6MT. This was a gift I promised myself when I completed 20 years in the Navy. I bought this brand new just a month later. Then I hit a deer with it on day 3! $5K damage. Welcome to Wisconsin.

For me, my parents bought a 2003 325i back in '04. First ever BMW in our family, sort-of our introduction into middle class territory. I wasn't of age to drive it, but I still had a few short runs with it. Funny enough, it's still in our family 14 years later. |

A 2018 M5 last summer, shopping for an upgrade of my daily driver since my job change handed me a company car for commuting miles, I could justify a nicer person aluse car that won't be "used up" so quickly. It was all the good things I expected it to be, but just not as satisfying on the luxury end of the scale that I wanted (mostly pertaining to the rear seats).
I ended up getting a 2019 M760i a few months ago, It ticked every box on my list, and then some. The M5 was worth testing, I'm glad I had that experience to compare to. Similar price point. |

I had a 1998 323 cabriolet that I bought new and kept for 13 years. Loved it. Definitely a nostalgia-car for me. I've always considered scratching that itch by picking up an E36 M3 cabrio...

A 1985 325i in summer 1986. It was owned by a friend of my mother's who volunteered to teach me to drive when she chickened out after having a terrible experience teaching my brother.. It was a lot more fun to learn on than my mom's 1976 Plymouth Volare (3-on-the-tree manual...my brother burned out the clutch 3 times).
I didn't drive another BMW until I got to take a spin in my boss's 1999 M5 shortly after he got it. I've been chasing my memory of the M5 experience ever since. |

a 1978 320i back in the early 80s
A friend of the family had moved up from AZ and needed her car driven back. She flew me down, and off I went with jugs of water in the trunk in case the coolant sys went. I loved that car, twisties in Northern CA. The way the whole thing read the road. |

In the summer of 1990 I did a Skip Barber course at Bridgehampton in a 1990 M3. That car was a beast on the track.
