Not really. I’ve driven M3s. It’s just a little too raw for me for everyday driving. I am definitely a 3 Series and inline six fan! Right now I’m on the hunt for the right 2020 G20 M340i. I just can’t bear the thought of missing out on that car.

Would love too but so many were in the days of pre digital or 1.3 megapixel days. Retired USAF so many were from living in Germany and Netherlands.

I'll see if I can dig some off of my old photobucket account and so forth.

You could always scan them. 😀 I taught my mother how to scan and in the last fifteen years of her life she scanned dozens and dozens of old photos so she could post them on Facebook. She would post her photos and then tell the story about them. She developed quite a reputation with her friends. They really enjoyed seeing those old photos and hearing her stories.

Green leaf here . . . my first bimmer, got this 2020 X4 m40i just 6months ago.

So far so good, loving it, next one will still be a bimmer (or maybe a porsche)

Congrats on the X4M40i! It's a great car! Which previous car you were driving?

No photo of the '98, but here are some of the others. Edit: Found some old photos and scanned them: '94 325is 5-sp sport pkg, '98 M3 Hellrot and '01 330Ci sport pkg. That's all the cars -- there were also two X3s not pictured.

- 1984 325e; First car in late '06, learned to drive manual in it & it started my love affair of 3 series.

- 1995 325i; Montreal Blue on Dove grey cloth, replaced the E30 after realizing it needed more work than I could afford to make it decent in mid '07.

- 2001 325i; Full Mtech 2 kit, black on black. Bought in late 2014 with what turned out to be a blown motor, so my dad & I replaced the motor over the winter in our garage. Put 50,000Km's on it before an arm injury meant no more daily driving a manual in late '16.

- 1994 320i; Blue on custom white & black interior, M3 bodykit, slammed, loud exhaust & slow as hell with the auto. But it was super fun cause I built it like high school me would have liked to do back in the day. Found it for super cheap beginning of '17.

- 2001 325i; Bought it as a quick flip, turned into a daily when I blew the head gasket in the 320 and scrapped it in '19. Was a rusty base model that took all year to sell it and made no money on it of course lol.

- 2004 325ci; Blue on tan, I found it December of '19 & it turned into my favorite one I've owned. I am very tempted to put it in long term storage if it doesn't sell before winter as a LCI E46 coupe was a long time goal of mine to own back in the day when I first saw them brand new.

Moved into my 2015 435ix about a month ago & am absolutely loving it.

[akaaceman]

2006 E64 650i Convertible bought in 2016, great car, I loved how sturdy it felt
2014 F34 428i Convertible bought in 2017, could've used some power mods but a fun car
2015 F07 535i GT bought in 2019, love how roomy it is and, despite the weight, manages to get out of its own way

[Rob_G77]

Too fricken many in the past 3 years (6)

2020 Z4 M40i
2020 X3 M40i
2021 M340i
2021 X6 40i
2022 Z4 M40i
2022 M850i cabriolet

Of them all, I only have the M850i at the moment. I did too many trades, lost too much money. Miss the X6 and Z4. Not quite fond of the M850i and I'm stuck with it now.

2016 M235i convertible Grey on Red leather
2018 M Performance edition 340i X drive. orange on individual Black
