Are you a first time BMW 3 series buyer or returning?

BMWCali · 08-30-2012, 07:54 PM

Wondering how many of you guys and gals are 3 Series veterans or completely brand new.

(Hoping a poll like this hasn't been done yet for the F30. If so, sorry!)

pdxBeav · 08-31-2012, 11:12 AM

Owned a new '01 M Roadster, but sold it three years later because it was the least reliable car I have ever owned. Swore I would never own another BMW, but decided to give them a second chance.
