First is a 730D (europe) .Quite old ...2008 :-) Can't get my head around the iDrive yet but it's only been a week . Road tax here in Ireland is about $1500 a year so it'ss no wonder there not not a lot about over here . Joy to drive ,glides along . Only thing I can find wrong is when I switch the idrive to Nav (it's a CCC I think ) it just shows snow like an old TV not tuned to a channel Let's see how it goes ..It cost me less than the quote from Ford to fix my Powershift transmission

My first was a new red 1971 2002. I paid a whole $3,500 for it.

I am a real newbie. Finally got my first in 2022 M550. This car is an outstanding combination of performance and comfort. I’ve had many cool cars over the years. This one is close to the top.

My first BMW was a E65 745i. Titanium Grey Over Stone Green. Purchased it with 7 miles and drove it until 246,545. I still owed 10,000 when it stopped running. First car, first lesson about financing lol. I was 19.

1988 E30 318i which we later converted with the S14 engine from an Italian 320is
Lots of time spent on the drive way with that, the original M40 engine suffered from oil starvation on a track day, so we looked for a new engine. An old friend in Italy had a 320is which had been smashed up, so we bought the engine from him (and drove from Sheffield to Brindisi and back in an old Volvo 740. I’ve no idea where the car is now, we sold it to a guy near Amsterdam! |

Mine was a 2001 TiAg 330ci 5 speed.
I bought it when I was 15, I knew that's what I wanted as my first car and had been saving up for years. I didn't quite have my license yet but I did have my permit and I was so stoked. Bid on and won it on eBay and it was a great car. |

My first Bimmer was a 1994 black e34 530i with 80k miles. Not what most 20 somethings with a job would buy but I felt so cool driving it. And for long road trips home to see Mom it was perfect. Ultimately I did off road gymnastics with it. A sudden snow storm blew in to central Arkansas. I hit a patch of ice under an overpass, slide and did a complete barrelroll landing on my tires facing backwards. So lucky I was able to walk away from it with nothing more than minor bruises.
Since then I've owned a 2001 M3 convertible. I've now got a two owner 2005 M3 with 50k miles. And just last week I purchased a 2007 M Coupé in exceptional condition. |
