How many bimmers in your enthusiast's life?

Salespunk · 07-12-2020, 01:00 AM

Not sure I even want to type this up;

E36 328i
E46 330I
E60 550i
E70 X5
E90 M3
F01 750iL
F15 X5
F10 M5
F82 M4
F30 328i (son's car)
F30 428i convertible (daughter's car)
F30 340i (son's car)
F30 328i wagon (son's car)
F97 X3 M40
G05 X5 40i
F90 M5

I think there are a few I forgot, but the one that got away was an E30 M3 leftover that had been sitting in the showroom for over a year brand new when I was younger. I keep getting the itch for a 911, but I keep buying BMW's. Go figure, I obviously have issues.

- 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

I can't find pictures of my first love, but here are a few. God, I hated the first F10 (grey one) coming from my white E60. First world problems

It's a pattern
We start with regular BMW and end up getting the bug later on in life once able to afford it!

Funny story on that, when I got my wife's X5 a few years ago is when I started looking at the F10 M5. We were headed to dinner for my birthday the day after we picked up her X5 when I casually mentioned we needed to stop. by the dealer on the way to pick up my new M5.

That was the only time she has gotten frustrated about my car habit and it lasted about 10 minutes. I have the best wife ever for a multitude of reasons, but her tolerance of my stupid purchases definitely figures into the equation.

Greer · 07-13-2020, 05:44 PM

2019 M2 COMP

2019 M5 COMP

2017 M3 COMP

2014 M5 COMP

2003 M5 Still sad that's it's gone.

Nice bimmers

nolaf90 · 07-13-2020, 06:19 PM

just two

2018 M550i - Dark Graphite Metallic
2020 M5C - Donington Grey

people always ask why i buy these boring ass colors and thats exactly why. Less flash is better for me. Pretty much every car I've ever owned has been white or grey.

I am loving this thread and didn't think it will garner such passion!

But I guess each one of us takes pride in his/her bimmersm (I call dibs on this neologism), and has a story to tell!

Nope. Sorry. You spelled it incorrectly

so it's mine now:

"bimmerism; a state of obsession with German car manufacturers (known exclusions include: MB, VW/Audi/Porsche/Bugatti & anything else equally irrelevant that isn't BMW); suspected to affect males in the majority although certain BMW fan girls are purported to be subject to the condition (statistically unsubstantiated)."
