This thread is just for fun. The question is "why did you buy your first BMW?". (Maybe this will remind us all what it is/was about the car that made us want to buy it). I'll go first.
When we were looking (finally!!) for a second car, I didn't know much about BMW beyond the name. After I looked at resale values, I saw that it really held it's value and from what I had read at the time (2006`ish) it was safe, small and a car that my kids could drive but that I wouldn't mind driving either. Our first one was silver, a 2005 325X and had low mileage already on it. Having said that, we're into our third BMW and neither kid drives. But....I sill love it.
