Well, here is my story with how I got hooked to the BMW brand.
It goes back to early eighties to the time I got my drivers license, inherited my old man's 81 Buick Century, I was happy as pig in the mud I had a car at the age of 16, but still had my eye on my dads brand new 82 745I, one night when my parents were out, couldn't resist, the 745 was sitting pretty in the garage, keys hanging right beside it, let's just say took it out for a through test drive. That night the two week old 745 never made it home, instead it ended upside down on Mulholland canyon. Luckily I walked away from that horrific tumble without a scratch. That was my first experience with a BMW. Late eighties little wiser and more experienced, bought my first Bimmer, a 89 325IS, drove that car without a scratch for 9 yrs, when by the time I sold it in 1998 it had over 160K mi. I miss that little 325 till this day. In 97 I purchased my second BMW, a 540I 6 speed, even though it had electrical problems throughout my ownership, it was still a fantastic car. Eventually I got rid of it in 05. From 05 till 2010, don't know what I was thinking, no Bimmers!!! But now I'm back into the BMW ownership with my 2011 B7 Alpina.

BMW M3
I own a 2006 BMW M3 coupe that I love and drive as a daily car to work. Its fast, luxurious, classy and tons of fun to drive while practical. I do want a Ferrari or Lamborghini someday which I am saving for as a weekend dream car. Maybe in few years, when depreciation hits the 458 Italia, I can buy a Ferrari at last. I drove a Ferrari California and liked it but its not as wild as the F430 or 458 Italia and for an exotic, I need wicked wild and fast looks and performance. BMW are great balance cars- fast, fun and great daily cars.

I've owned a 2003 BMW Z4 2.8si roadster and an awesome Z4 3.0si coupe that I used on track events. The coupe had seen Spring Mountain Motor Sports Ranch, Willow Springs and Las Vegas Speedway on vartious occasions. Below is a link to a in-car cam video on La Vegas Speedway road course. I had just put on some Hankook Ventus V12 tires a week prior to the track day. They stuck well, but squealed a bit more than I liked.

I know this is not what you guys what to hear; but, BMW makes the best seats in the business. The 20-way sport seat cannot be beat. You can tell if a car has these seats by the broke-back (sorry) seats, which allow the top 1/3 to pull forward. For a long-waisted, fat guy with short arms, it doesn't get any better than this.

2004 E46 M3 SMG
Sold my M3 earlier in the year. Great car, a little nose heavy on the track, but fantastic on the road. Used to own an E34 M5 back in 1995, so I took a long break from the M-cars.
Vas, I thought you were just a BMW rental car junkie! Last edited by m5guy; 05-27-2011 at 10:36 PM.

My E34 M5. Needs a bit of work now thanks to a nice little hail storm we had recently.

E34 M5 is probably my favorite M-car. No nannies, handbuilt, straight six - enough said!
Posting some cool pictures.
