I bet that E30 is worth a pretty penny if it is still stock.

Completely stock no mods and all service records in a folder with window sticker. I plan to pass the car onto my son later in life.

At age 17 I got a used 1985 318i. It had over 100k miles and was $5,000. The car was Diamond Black with tan cloth seats sitting on gold BBS wheels. The car was mint and looked fresh.

Since then all but 2 of the 10 cars I’ve driven have been a BMW 3. 1985 318i, 1987 325, 2000 323 Ci, 2008 328 xi, 2010 328 xDrive, 2013 335 xDrive, 2015 xDrive and 2020 M340 xDrive. I need .

these 1M is my last 'modern' BMW i will own. Don't like where the brand is heading or has been recently since. Would love to get an E30 M3 or 2002 Turbo one day though.

Yeah, this will date me for sure!
It’s a ‘76 2002, bought new in the summer of that year.
Black with tan cloth, A/C, and sunroof. 4-speed, of course.

I got my first BMW in 1970. A brand new 2002tii.

The most exciting car to drive I've ever had . I did rallies, slaloms and hill-climbs with it , have beaten the hell out of it and it never let me down.
I don't think they make them that tough anymore but I sure enjoy my new to me 2007 Z4m.

Amazing. Well done! Only thing that sucks is how little you've driven it! Otherwise congratulations! Go drive it more! :P

Looks similar to this:



Not only my first BMW, but my first car ever. It barely ran, but I loved it. Sadly, it just stopped working after awhile since it was already an old rust bucket when I got it.

The steering was something to behold: non-power steering gave me a workout pulling into parking spots, but on the road it felt great! My best memories as a foolish teenager in that car was placing the automatic in neutral, revving to redline, then slamming it into gear to experience the 2 seconds of glorious burnout! It wasn't what I would call fast or quick, however, so that burnout was the only sensation of speed I could muster. Come to think of it, the hooliganism probably led to its eventual demise.

Years... and YEARS later I came back to BMW with the F30 328i. A F30 340i replaced that, then a F80 paired with an i3. Then I got a new i3 and a new F80 M3 CS, both of which currently sit my garage. I actually almost got a new i8 last month, but I have put that on hold until I see more news on the M2 CS.

My first BMW is a 2008 535xi. In searching for something more suitable to driving in winter living in the front range mountains of Colorado, I was looking for coupes and sedans that ticked off all the right boxes. My mechanic had two N54s and thus my introduction into the BMW I6 line. A single owner, grandma driven car with 56K miles became a buy on sight and my new daily driver. A few bolt ones and MHD flash later, it’s a sublime touring car.

Wanting to take my summer/fair weather game up a notch, I began shopping for a 135i 6spd and finally found the right car at a great price. I was set on Sedona Red Metallic and a 6spd. While it’s an N55, it will be sufficient for my canyon runs at Stage 2+. Once it’s time for the turbo to go, it will be my excuse to go Pure Stage 2 with an exhaust and methanol injection. I already have a race car when I need the pure adrenaline rush from speed and enjoy the balance from a FBO + tune I can rip in and out of corners.

Having been a Jag lover for two decades with various I6 power plants, I fell in love with the Teutonic twins of the N54 and how refined and smooth power delivery is while chewing through an 80mi round trip commute most of the week.
