My first Bimmer was a 1994 black e34 530i with 80k miles. Not what most 20 somethings with a job would buy but I felt so cool driving it. And for long road trips home to see Mom it was perfect. Ultimately I did off road gymnastics with it. A sudden snow storm blew in to central Arkansas. I hit a patch of ice under an overpass, slide and did a complete barrelroll landing on my tires facing backwards. So lucky I was able to walk away from it with nothing more than minor bruises.
Since then I've owned a 2001 M3 convertible. I've now got a two owner 2005 M3 with 50k miles. And just last week I purchased a 2007 M Coupé in exceptional condition. |

E39..2003 530i. Bought used with 50,000 miles and 5 years old. Kept for 12 months. An extremely nice drive but the worst car I’ve ever owned. I stayed away from the brand for 15 years because of this experience. The previous owner purchased new, a garage queen, driven by the older wife of a college president. I experienced the following; exploding radiator, leaky valve guides, bad ball joints, water leaks both rear doors, bad fuel sensor, disappearing pixels in the dashboard, snd screwed up emission controls. Awesome paint, not one rattle, great ride. I loved and hated that thing…. Once it started burning 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles I dumped it. I like my 2024 IX I leased six months ago but we’re not off to a great start…spent 60 days in the shop awaiting a replacement coolant valve. Good dealer and BMW took care of me but I won’t own a BMW without a warranty.

My first BMW is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I'm quite excited to drive it. I had my last car for almost ten years now and it's time for a change - moving from Ford sedan to BMW SUV
