My M2 is coming in April but I'd like to participate in this. I'm 57 years old and started driving in 1975. My parents were really cool; we were one of the first families in Los Angeles to start driving BMW's back in the early seventies. My dad had made a TV series pilot in Munich in 1972 that featured a 2002 Tii doing some amazing stunt scenes and he got hooked on BMW right then. As soon as he got back home he started buying them.
My first car was an inka orange 1972 2002 automatic that was originally my mom's car. My dad drove a 1974 2002 Tii, which was given to me around 1977 and became my next car; I kept it until 1985.
Then I bought a 1985 325e, then a 1989 325is, then a 1990 M3, and then a 1999 M Coupe. In 2007, my father gave me his last and favorite car before he passed away, a Dakar 1995 M3, which I sold in 2015 when I bought my M235i. I feel really like I am not allowed to own anything other than BMW's. The M235i and I never really "jelled," shall we say, and I got a lucky chance to drive the M2 at BMW's Performance Center last year and was immediately hooked. That is my story.
