Very remote chance next one (and last for a good long while) might be late '05 model year M3, but most likely you can stick a fork in me because I'm done with BMW for a while.

Four for me and I think I'm done with buying new BMWs as well. There are still a lot of great things about the new ones, but I can't get past the styling issues. :(

I'm on my second, and I've only been driving for ~4 years.

'91 318 (E30); and '97 318ti (E36), which I still own.


My dad has had many more than I: (2) '78 320's, a '99 323, a '00 323, a '02 325, and a '04 X3. And he'd have many more if he hadn't gone "to the dark side" for many years during the '90s!

1) errr very sorry...one of the pilot's at FTIG has been bugging me to sell it to him (for about what I paid for it last year). I wasn't planning to sell it but "caved in" at the last minute.
2) Deployment is unofficially definite. (about 32 days until deployment and we still don't have official orders, which is typical of a giant bureaucratic machine.)

The poll says BMWs, not bimmer or beemer. I voted two.

'86 325e
'99 F650

We've also had a '76 2002, a ?? Bavaria, and currently have a '91 525i in the immediate family.

7, I hadn't counted them up for a while.

Current:
2002 M3
2004 X5

Past:
1972 2002
1967 1602 (rebuilt for drivers schools)
1977 320i
1988 M3
2000 328Ci

The styling/change issues aren't new. When the 320i replaced the 2002, people hated the "overweight/soft/pig" of a car that the 320i was. OK, I enjoyed mine a lot, kept it for 10+ years. BMW has changed direction before and caused all kinds of unhappiness among the ownership like us, but things always seem to come around.

I think that I have owned more than 15, not counting bikes. My first car was a 1960 502 2.6l V8 I bought in Stuttgart. I shipped it back to the east coast and drove it to San Francisco. I wrecked it and traded it for an R 69S basket case.

1995 525iT
2000 Z3 Roadster 2.8
2001 Z3 Coupe 3.0 (replaced the roadster)
2003 325iT (replaced the 5-wagon)

I owned the 5-wagon for a bit over 5 years before replacing it (very recently) with the 3-wagon. The Roadster was only around for about 1.5 years before replacing it with the Coupe.

I don't see any more trades/purchases happening in the next few years... unless BMW imports an E90 wagon with a 3-liter... or perhaps a Z4 Coupe :confused:

And I'm only 20 :)

Lol, at this rate I should be trading in my 525i in a year for a 2002 745i... but I heard bad things about the 2002 7's, so I won't :)

I think I'm going to stick with the 5 for a few years.

This is my 1st, had it a couple of years, extremely happy at first, until everything started breaking. But now that I have damn near rebuilt it & it has not given me major issues in a while, I've decided to keep it. Plus now I know how to work on most of it if something decides to take a dump.

- By far my favourite. Lots of power and and a factory installed fog lamps! Could be better if it had the airbag steering though but who cares, its still "MY" bimmer!

EDIT: Looking at another '97 318ti (for my hubby!). His P-car 968 just got eaten by a 318ti with a supercharger! He's thinking of getting one turboed and intercooled.

Just on my way to pick up number 4, a 2005 Z4 3.0, with a nice little supercharger on it...

Current stable:
2005 Z4 3.0 sc
1988 325iX
2003 R1150R Rockster

and went the way of the dodo the other week
2003 Z4 3.0

There are cheaper things to be addicted too, but I guess these things are too bad for you in the long run.
