What was your first BMW and then first M?!

My first was a new '96 318is at 26yrs old, which was inspired by the Charlie Sheen movie "The Chase". See how that marketing works! I then got a new '99 M3, which is one of the best, if not the best, M cars of all time! Was Titanium over blk, w/ the hammer style wheels. What an fn car! Believe it or not, I was living in Midtown Manhattan at the time. However, I had an opposite commute to my office in the burbs, so I would stretch her legs daily. Also, wife and I took her to Montreal and multiple other "out of town" road trips on the weekends. Here's a collage of "Polaroids"!

PS: Pic of house, was my In-laws in Queens....

This is my first BMW. We had a E92 335xi in the family but wasn't mine. Always owned Mercedes. Will be picking up another AMG real soon hopefully.
