I know I know I know!
It seems like another one of those cheesy threads! But far from it and seriously it's always entertaining to know one's car history, mind you enthusiast's and esteemed forum members, and let alone pertaining to just BIMMERS! And what did you do to them too? And a little thing about each! Here we go (Skipping some other car brands) 1. BMW 2012 550i (Had DINAN Stage I on it) was fast but uninspiring yet it's the one that started it all with BMW for me! 2. BMW X5 50i 2012 Silver (Had it for a few months only as needed a 3rd row) 3. BMW X5 50i 2013 Black 4. BMW M5 F10 when it came out 2012 (Sakir orange) 5. BMW M5 F10 (Laguna Seca Blue) Comp Package lived that color 6. BMW M5 F10 2014 ZCP(Grey) with MPE Exhaust (Sounded awesome and was lowered, slammed?) 7. BMW M6 Convertible ZCP Blue/Red (2nd most beloved bimmer I ever had, but got T-Boned in it) 8. BMW X5 50i White Brown interior B&O 2014 9. BMW M5 F90 Macao Blue (Most beloved bimmer ever hands down! Only missing being a convertible but I guess can't be jack of all trades!) 10. M235 2016 Convertible with MHD Stage II pushing 420/430+, VRSF Exhaust, CAIntake, FICM (No down pipes as I am scared of the smell being topless!) So next bimmer will be my 11th and barring any COVID-19 curve balls thrown at me I am planning something very special, maybe Euro Delivery?! Thanks for chiming in Pictures are always a blast! I am sure many of us have funny stories to share about each one! Cheers

Yeah, something just has me coming back to BMW each time.
My first one was an E30 318i back when I was like...19 years old (we are talking 1999). Had 180k miles on it and was like $3500. Then went to the E34 525i maybe 2 years later. Then I started making some real money when I was 24 and had to try Mercedes....so had a new CL500 and then went to the R230 SL500 because that car was (and still is) gorgeous. Then got the M bug and have been in love with pretty much stayed there. V10 E64 M6 Cabrio back in 08.... M6 Gran Coupe in 2014... Small detour to get the G30 M550i in 2018 (because it was faster than any of the M cars at that point and the F90 was not yet out) F90 in December of 2019. We have definitely been fortunate! Really like the new X5M.....might be my next one when my F90 lease is up.

My first "nice" car was a 2004 Infiniti G30; thought I hit the jackpot and could not figure out why my buddy would spend more than me and get a puny BMW 325. Then one day, for shits and grin, I test drive a base E60 528 and fall absolutely in love. So starts the love affair:
- 2008 528i - off dealer lot got an insane deal - $400 a month nothing down - 2010 535i - made to order white with brown interior - my favorite till... - 2012 535 (F10) - hated the car - bloated, crap to drive compared to E60 - 2014 535 - still hating the car - 2016 M5 (F10) - my first M and got a killer deal; visceral power. Killer deal again $770 a month with no down - 2018 X5 - surprised my wife with a F15; she is simple and hates flash and says she liked her Honda Pilot better - whatever! - 2019 M5 F90 - my favorite since the 2010 E60

Not many. Just caught the bug during residency when I got to drive a friend's e90 328 in 2012. But better late than never!
2011 E90 328i stock (god, I miss that steering, and feel of the cockpit). I don't miss taking care of the Jet Black paint though! 2015 F31 tuned with AA piggyback. After the tune, maybe the best, simplest DD I ever had. Was perfect. Even had the leather dash. 2015 F30 335 tuned with AA piggyback, AA muffler and res delete. My family called it "Loud Car" 2018 F80 ZCP tuned with JB4, DPs, and chargepipes. Absolute blast. Would have been happy to get into the G80, but they ruined the design, so F90 it is

I wish I were you bro My first bummer was a Twin Turbo!! I guess I will never know! The first time I drove an SMG M6 recently was a few weeks ago, so you know how a novice in the BMW M works I must be!!
