my first bmw was my...........
1987 325e manual. now it is the wife's car. i payed $400.00 for it with a bad connector to fuel injector 5. lots of fun to drive & handles nice for a play toy.
but after a little while i formed a need, a need for speed. that is why i bought the 1995 540i/a. it definitly sucks how much i spend on fuel, but well worth the it.
it did make it easy to become an enthusiast since the wife became one.
to think i would not have purchased the first bmw if my nephew did not pressure me into it. the only bmw he ever owned was an ugly orange 1984 318i with over 225,000miles on it.

It's like a good album. Nearly every day I drive it it manages to suprise me in some way - today it was the way it literally kicked me across a roundabout; at about 3500rpm it digs it's rear heels in and away we go! And below 3500 it's quite docile and controlled.
The mechanics as well; incredibly well thought out; for example the oil filter at the top of the engine (not going to mention trying to get the viscous fan off though); everything (nearly) easy to get at and replace.
Then the comfort, silence, refinement. I wish I'd known about these cars 10 years ago; would never have bought anything else. It makes other cars look like toys. Today I was in a brand spanking new Saab 93; cramped, noisy and like sitting on a building brick.

Because when it was new and even 16 years later it is still one of the best sports sedan money can buy. Considering the 89 535i cost in the upwards of 40k and the M5 50k plus, they are bargains now. Proper maintained ones are still tight as a drum and are very reliable. One of the all time great highway cruisers and real sleepers on city streets.

ok, those rims sould have been bought as an option, i have a friend who has an identical car as mine except for his rims and its an automatic, he has those rims. You can get those rims aftermarket online or if your lucky a wrecking yard. in my opinion they are the sexiest rims in existence.

Those are BMW Style #5 wheels...notwithstanding the M-Tech Turbines or M-parallels...most folks think the #5's are the nicest wheel you can put on an E34.
Hmmm....I tend to agree with them!
