Transmission also went on our family one about two years ago; I'd say around 133k miles maybe... got a rebuilt one and it's just been chillin in the garage mostly since; Gone soon though

I drove an M4 conv the other day, and the interior honestly felt like cheap crap compared to the 325i

1974 2002 A family friend said he was in no hurry to sell so I worked all summer to earn the $1000 down payment. ( $4000) It was the happiest day!!! I was 18 and it started my BMW obsession!

The first BMW I've ever driven was a 2006 X5 3.0i, loved it but I've only ever owned coupes (e46 & e92).

S65B40YYC · 05-21-2018, 09:30 AM

Learned to drive on a 1980 728i 4 speed manual Euro spec.

RaceCarDriver · 05-21-2018, 01:34 PM

1998 328i sedan, sport package, manual transmission. Loved it so much, I bought it.

That led to ownership of a Laguna Seca Blue 2003 M3, 6 speed manual. 2008 M3 sedan 6 speed manual, 1M, M2, and S54 M Coupe (clown shoe) all with manual transmissions.

It all started with a 1986 325e and have had a handful of BMW's since.

Quicksilv3r · 05-22-2018, 04:13 PM

The first one I bought, a '97 328iS

Ickdeep · 05-22-2018, 04:22 PM

My parent's 2000 740i was my first car I ever drove. I didn't have my license at the time so I was able to drive from the driveway into the garage. And sometimes I was about to drive a little at our semi-truck yard.

Kykurnal · 05-24-2018, 06:44 PM

First BMW... '84 318i. Four cylinders, 6 speeds, and small. Wonderful little car...
Drove it 14 years before donating what was left of it to charity...

When I was 28, I attended a family wedding. One of my cousins had just bought a bmw z3 convertible and he threw the keys at me to let me drive it. That was my first bmw (and car as I only drove pick up trucks). Fast forward to my 40th birthday and my first car I ever bought was a 2011 E93 M3, bought it online, never drove one before nor even sat in any 3 series before. That was my second bmw driving experience.
