My BMW story is not that interesting but here it is. I grew up a Mopar fan and had several including 2 Dodge Daytonas in the 80's. A coworker had a late 80s BMW 325i 4dr 5 speed. It seemed like a nice well built car, although I never drove it. Fast forward to the mid to late 90s and I had a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. A fantastic sports car but I wanted more. I saw a 97 528i at a car show and shortly thereafter signed up for a test drive at a BMW drive for charity event. I drove the 528i, e36 M3, but fell in love with the 540i. My father was a family sedan kind of guy and asked why I'd spend so much money on a BMW. He came along on a test drive and said "I understand now....". I saved up for 2 years and as soon as the 3000GT lease was up I traded for a 99 540i.
I've now owned a bunch of 5 series including 2 M5s, Z4, X models, etc. The list is below...
I now have the M2 Comp and just picked up a 2020 X3M.
Few regrets with any of them
