First BMW or not?

TP 135i · 02-23-2008, 03:06 PM

Will the purchase of your 1er be your first BMW or have you owned BMWs in the past or currently?
Just curious.

MastaMind · 02-23-2008, 03:09 PM

First BMW.

I'm not loyal to any specific brand.

reo5001 · 02-23-2008, 03:23 PM

My first car, let alone BMW.

Stew · 02-23-2008, 03:31 PM

First BMW and new car

peppebmw · 02-23-2008, 03:59 PM

Never thought I'd leave the VAG family but the time has come! First RWD car for me.

128er · 02-23-2008, 04:04 PM

First BMW!! :-)

WhiteOne · 02-23-2008, 05:51 PM

My 1st was a Sahara beige 1969 2002. I bought it from the original owner for $1000. He put $800 dollars with it and had his 280Z turboed. He said the BMW would outrun the Z. I guess I am kinda dating myself huh ?

Bringinthewolf · 02-23-2008, 06:10 PM

2nd if you count my 07 Mini Cooper

BForbes · 02-23-2008, 06:18 PM

This will be my first BMW. I've had 3 in my immediate family though. I cant wait!

Oregon · 02-23-2008, 06:21 PM

Second BMW, first was a 71' 2002 - see below.:biggrin:

TazioNYC · 02-23-2008, 08:07 PM

First BMW -- very excited. I'm a pretty dedicated Porsche-phile, though.

Rearro · 02-23-2008, 08:15 PM

This will be my Forth, Since I took the picture below I have sold the Bike and the E-46. With a baby:wub: on the way I had to down size!

mrgoochio · 02-23-2008, 10:22 PM

This is my personal first, my parents used to have an older 7series back in the early 90's and still have a 318 in Malaysia.

Robert · 02-23-2008, 11:04 PM

First bmw but I hate its drivers except for people here, of course. Possibly the last bmw as well, I will go porsche or hybrid after this.

Base from the results I have to say BMW's marketing did its homework. Majority of people interested in this car are new bmw owners.

curtdragon · 02-23-2008, 11:16 PM

my first.. a lot of firsts... first rwd, first non-Japanese, first car i think im truely going to love

W33ZY · 02-23-2008, 11:55 PM

yeah this will be my first BMW

Bdh821 · 02-24-2008, 12:41 AM

I've never been a BMW fan until recently. I love all the new M's. And since I cant afford a new M3, I'll settle for a 135i. I love 335i but I don't see the point of myself getting something that big. And I love how the 1er is new to the country. Previous cars have been 99 GTP, 96 maxima (winter car) and 03 Cobra. I'm only 22

randomquickness · 02-24-2008, 02:05 AM

I'm only 23 and this is my chronological list

-1986 saab 9000 turbo
-1984 volvo 240
-1989 bmw 525i
-1991 volvo 740
-1994 jeep grand cherokee LTD
-1999 audi a6 quattro
-2008 bmw 135i

MVF4Rrider · 02-24-2008, 03:40 AM

First Bimmer was a 1976 2002 (Maroon with tan leather). I bought it in th early 80s and kept it a few years (sold it for a profit!).

The 135i will be my 5th Bimmer not counting the MINI S I owned...

clived · 02-24-2008, 04:46 AM

My 2nd - I ran a 535d M Sport when they were first released back in 2004. My other half has run a 118d as her daily driver for the last 30 months
