What's the first BMW you ever drove?

BM dnobagaV · 05-10-2018, 06:58 PM

Not necessarily owned or anything.

For me, my parents bought a 2003 325i back in '04. First ever BMW in our family, sort-of our introduction into middle class territory. I wasn't of age to drive it, but I still had a few short runs with it. Funny enough, it's still in our family 14 years later.

Damn fantastic car in every single way.

First bmw was also my first manual tranny, a 2003 330Ci. Practiced on a Nissan Sentra where clutch was nowhere near the bimmer and stalled for 15 minutes trying to leave the dealership.. worst and best day of my life lol..

325ci was the first BMW I ever owned

Mine was a 1987 325iS, still have it to this day. My best friend sold it to me in 1997 so he could buy a pristine E30 M3. He paid 13K for it at the time, we thought he was nuts. Turns out he is not so nuts (still has it).

bailyhill · 05-11-2018, 07:09 AM

First BMW drive was a 1968 2002. Aga Blu with black interior. Its 9 BMW's later now. Interestingly, the only duplicate model is 2 i3 REX's leased recently and currently. Enjoyed them all. I do love EV's. Never been to the track, so for me, BMW is the Ultimate Street Drivers car.

wdb · 05-11-2018, 09:56 AM

1968 1600. Drove it head-on into a tree. My dad was NOT happy.
