Great choice and I love the color!

My first BMW and first nice car I ever owned. My F80 M3. I got lucky and found this incredibly rare spec CPO and have loved her ever since.

Bought it in 1993 from a coworker. It felt like no other car I'd ever driven.

I've owned a BMW ever since!

I was so excited when I finally purchased my new 2013 M6. It was everything I had ever wanted and more. I couldn't wait to take it for a spin and show it off to all of my friends.

Now I wished i had just waited a bit longer and got the m6 Gran Coupe.

The first BMW I had, although it was a company car.
It's the one on the right ;-)

BMW 116d efficient dynamics in mineral grey including comfort pack + Xenon headlights.
I had such pleasure driving this car!! Now, ~10 years later, I'll have my own brand new 3-series (G21) in the same color! Can't wait!

Before anyone would mention something about the license plates.
At the time of the picture, I still lived in Belgium hence the Belgian license plate. Now I live in Poland.

I know you've heard it before from somebody, anybody, "I remember the first time when....". Well, as BMW enthusiasts I know everyone remembers the first "Beemer" or Bimmer" they had and unless you lived where everyone but God had one, just having a BMW, beat up or not, indelibly made you "The Man" amongst your crowd.

Well, that being said, I'll start this thread with the first Beemer I ever owned and invite all of you to share your fond memories and/or stories of the car that set your BMW infatuation into motion!


In '96 after 3 tours in the Army(9 yrs), I decided that it was time for me to head back to the civilian world. Uncle Sam at the time decided that "downsizing" was necessary and to coerce some people out, was offering severance pay and a few years more of additional benefits to say, "Adios!". Well, I took that offer. They handed me 20G's and I bought this '82 320i for 4K. A buddy of mine who'd come from Germany brought this car back with him and like us was an enthusiast and what do most enthusiast do to their cars? Mod it! For the time, this baby was tuned and in the first week that I had it damn near got thrown in the can for wreckless driving, but managed to get just a speeding ticket for being a veteran. I was just coming down from around 120 on I70 just north of Manhattan, KS, give or take a few mph when that Kansas trooper busted my ass. Damn I miss this car. Good times!
The BMW I own right now is my first BMW, and it is a 2016 BMW X1 (f48) xdrive28i and I absolutely love it. But I’m having some issues with the monitor right now

I’ve done some custom wrap on my driver and passenger door by myself to make it even cooler and I’ve done some custom modifications other than that including all of the chrome paneling I’ve blacked out with either gloss or matte black or carbon fiber and I keep finding new things to do with it

This was my first BMW, a 1991 E30. I took it for a test drive and told the salesman that it was sold!

It looks like an E36. Very sharp!

Got my first BMW at 23 back in 2017, E90 318d Sport Plus (LCI 2011), loved it so much.

Had the factory LED headlights, the previous owner fitted it with the 19 inch 313 alloys which gave the car so much presence on the road.
