Talk about a real story hahaha
Did you atleast go with the 540i?

No he bought an E-class lol :/

Timujin · 06-22-2018, 10:29 PM

79 320i. This was in 1982.

bmw1racer · 06-23-2018, 12:00 AM

My brother's 1975 Fjord Blue 2002.

EnintyToo · 06-23-2018, 02:59 PM

1977 E21. Drove iy up our gravel driveway in 1977. To this day I can still feel the stones as they passed under the tires.

CRtoE92 · 06-23-2018, 05:05 PM

2006 330ci
It was different world to me

F30inthe6ix · 06-23-2018, 05:55 PM

First BMW I ever drove was a 2006 BMW 645ci. The second was a 2014 BMW i8. The third? My current F30

c1pher · 06-23-2018, 05:58 PM

I don’t remember the exact year, I want to say a 1983 E28 525i. It was orange. It was passed from military member to military member. I didn’t keep it long since the brakes ended up being beyond repair. I definitely got ripped off, but also was stupid in that I believed the guy selling it to me. Lesson learned.

rockit2 · 06-28-2018, 03:57 PM

1988 E30 M3 back in 1989 my brothers friend got one and let me go for a spin

JohnEnglish · 06-28-2018, 04:52 PM

The 2018 540i I test drove on the weekend.

CTinline-six · 06-29-2018, 10:56 AM

First I ever drove was a friend's E46 ZHP.

2010rouge · 07-08-2018, 09:41 PM

2015 BMW X1 sDrive28i!

stevenvillatoro · 07-09-2018, 01:38 AM

An Isetta sitting on a BMW used car lot in Phoenix in the early 1970s. I was so impressed that I later owned Isettas as my daily drivers.

BM dnobagaV · 07-09-2018, 02:21 AM

Apparently this thread was the quickest way to get an age-gauge on this forum

I wholeheartedly expected most of us on here to say e46 or e39 era Bimmers; I should have thought more broadly.

Alvinized52 · 07-09-2018, 03:31 AM

E46 (2000 BMW 323ci). And I still have it today....

bigdaveindubai · 07-12-2018, 09:56 AM

2018 540i Luxury

kovalchuk71 · 07-12-2018, 08:53 PM

My dad's red 2004 325i when I just got my drivers permit.

Firebat · 09-02-2021, 12:29 PM

Had a 1978 BMW 320i as first car in 1989.

shadowfax · 09-02-2021, 02:05 PM

The first car I ever drove was either a 1972 (or a 1974) 2002tii.

jzeiler4 · 09-07-2021, 07:17 PM

My first BMW was a 78 R80 MC in 1986, then a 2005 K1200LT MC in 2004(I still have with 117,000 miles). My first BMW car was a 2004 330ci convertible in 2012 and sold it 2020 (with 195,000 miles). Now I have a 21 M240 xDrive.
