kz1000 · 11-02-2014, 05:18 PM

My first. '15 228i. Zero options except MT. My modern 2002.

horsepower_and_hounds · 11-02-2014, 05:43 PM

It is actually my third even though I voted number 2. I forgot about the 320i I used to have years ago

M235
128i
320i

MrBucket · 11-02-2014, 05:50 PM

1st

85 Mercedes 190E
01 Audi A4
14 BMW M235i

RobTaylor · 11-02-2014, 06:37 PM

Our first was a 1988 535IS, 5 MT that was such a PITA in Michigan winters (did not even have a mechanical locking rear diff.) that we owned 7 Audis Quattros after that. All that changed with our 2014 428iX Sport purchased 12/31/13 and now have a '15 228 Sport (RWD) with track pack on order. I really like the "feel" and controls of the 428 vs our last A6 & A4 and look forward to the 228 which should arrive early December.

Lucky13 · 11-02-2014, 07:59 PM

No. 15 I believe, I was Lucky13 because I had owned 13 new BMW's but I'm losing track now. Had a used 2000 528 and 2010 Mini Clubman S that I didn't even count so actually 17 if you count those, 14 new BWM's, 2 used BMW's and a new Mini. No reason to change if you haven't had issues and really never had anything major. The 2001 X5 probably had the most issues but mostly little minor interior trim problems being that it was a totally new design.

Sportstick · 11-02-2014, 08:08 PM

1971 2500 - manual inline 6
1977 320i - manual 4 banger
A career's worth of domestic company cars.
2015 228i (physically larger than the '77 3 Series!)

mmmmm235i · 11-02-2014, 08:14 PM

This is number 2 for me. Traded in an 09 328xi for the 2 and before that I drove a few audi cars.

brhon · 11-02-2014, 08:35 PM

#3. First was a 2010 CPO X5 (still have it), 2nd was a 2014 328 GT xDrive (lost flood)' now my MW F22, love it.

chaswyck1 · 11-02-2014, 08:45 PM

The 228i Sport Line I have on order will be my second BMW (third if your count the MINI S I'm driving now) The first was a 2009 335.

krhodes1 · 11-02-2014, 08:45 PM

'85 535iA (kind of crap)
'86 535i (good friend still daily drives it)
'91 318is (white)
'91 318is (black)
'11 328i wagon (first new one, did ED)

#6 will be a 228i, but I am keeping #5!

And while it was not technically mine, I did maintain it for many years - Stepfather then Mom had an '83 528e from nearly new, bought at 2yrs/15K miles. Sold in '07 at 260K.

2+3=5 · 11-02-2014, 08:57 PM

2nd

04 330ci
14 M235i

hoppy6698 · 11-02-2014, 09:47 PM

Third. Never knew I would like BMWs so much, growing up around trucks.

'97 318ti
'03 325i (E46) - Purchased while stationed in Germany, no other way to travel in Europe!
'15 M235i - Call it mid-life crisis mode, and looking forward to every minute of it!

DanG · 11-03-2014, 12:43 AM

I lost count. My first was a new 1971 2002. I have bought a BMW ever since.

Ramos · 11-03-2014, 12:50 AM

Number 4 for me

2008 e90 335i
2006 e46 M3 comp
1995 e36 M3
2014 M235i

All great cars in their own right
Still miss the throttle response of the e46M3, although the M235 is a better all around car

khaug · 11-03-2014, 12:56 AM

2nd. My first was a 2000 E39 528i. Gutless wonder, but it had the best steering ever put on a car!

-K.

jbenington86 · 11-03-2014, 12:56 AM

Well technically my 3rd but my first I only had for a short time since it was European specs I couldn't bring it back to the states.

1992 318is
2008 128i
2015 M235i

The 318is was the one that got me into BMWs. It was 16 years old by the time I took ownership. I felt how amazing the ride handling etc. was so I decided to buy one new and never looked back.

Johnnohoff · 11-03-2014, 04:49 AM

3rd

'82 320i bought for $500 back in '00 (forest green, not sure the official name)

'09 328i (E90 LCI) great car (jet black)

'14 M235i, love this car! (Estoril blue)

4th BMW if you wanna count my motorcycle...

'14 S1000R (frozen dark blue metallic)

markm92 · 11-03-2014, 05:24 AM

Fletch F. Fletch · 11-03-2014, 05:40 AM

98 M3 (wish I still had of course)
02 M3 SMG (no major issues)
06 325ci (really miss this one)
