What other BMW's have people had or still own?
Following Taylor172's pictures, i thought i would keep the theme a little more BMW, by asking 'What other BMW's have you had or still have?'
I'll start the ball rolling i guess?
This is my old 850. This car scared the crap out of me, incase it ever broke down. It didn't though!
My 330Ci. Quality speaks for itself.
My old MCS
I also once owned a 320 E30 4 door in red, but i have no pictures of this one.

Re: What other BMW's have people had or still own?
Caught the BMW bug with a 1986 e30 SA 3.8 m tech thingy - worth a fortune now so I'm led to believe. Swapped it for a new e36 shape Alpina, then on to another Alpina. Went away from BMW for a few years and then back with the Z4M coupe. Not sure what the next one will be but I'm quite liking the 6 series diesel, must be getting old!
Z4M Coupe

Re: What other BMW's have people had or still own?
I've had a few...and my wife has had 2....
My wife's was the first (I was driving a V12 Jag VDP at the time) and she bought a 1989 325ix - great for the winters.
We replaced that a few years ago with a 2001 325xi - current car.
For me, after the Jag I had the following:
1994 530i - had a 3 litre V8 and one of the best sounding cars I've ever driven.
1998 540i - had that for a number of years and loved it, but it had a lot of electrical gremlins (in particular the LCM).
2003 Z4 3.0i
2007 M Roadster - current car
Cheers, Al

Re: What other BMW's have people had or still own?
Not sure if I have a pic of my 2003 325Ci or not-my first. Jet Black, beige interior, premium and sport packages, 5 speed manual. Loved that damn car, but I lusted after a 2 seater. When my daughter graduated from college and we were true empty nesters, traded her in on my 2007 Z4 coupe.
After homecoming, hubby bought a 2003 X5, 3.0i, premium package. I warned him BMWs were addictive. He told me a few days ago, "That damn thing drives iteself!". He also has an F150 Lariat that gets a lot more rest these days!

There were a couple of guys there with track-prepared cars. I couldn't keep up with them, but I had everyone else.MonsterZ4 wrote:Love the picture of the 750 getting a beasting. Brilliant!

Re: What other BMW's have people had or still own?
1996 318i
2000 323i
2004 Z4 3.0i
2005 530i
2007 X5 3.0
2007 Z4 M
I think I'll keep the M roadster for a while, but you never know. I really miss the E36 318i. Maybe because it was my first, but I really enjoyed driving it. My opinion is that it handles better that the E46 323i.

Re: What other BMW's have people had or still own?
My first was the most beautiful car I have ever owned, 1982 528e in the most incredible blue I haveever seen and in immaculate original condition. It ran great and was my SUV, until my husband totaled it. My comment to the police officer as I drove up was why did he survive and my car did not? That is how I feel about my cars! Roadcar is the love of my life. I am not at all as cold hearted as you may think from reading this post! There is way more to this story. He totaled his Miata just 6 weeks before my BMW!
