What BMWs have you owned?
1 - 20 of 28 Posts
I’ve never owned a BMW, but I blame BMW USA for that. 
When I bough a used car as my first car when I was at the university I was choosing between a BMW 318ti, VW Corrado SLC (VR6), Porsche 944 and an Alfa Romeo 164S. The BMW 318ti wasn’t sporty enough so I went with the Corrado.
When I studied abroad in Germany the BMW 1 series hatchback was first released and I had BMW executives show it to me in Goettingen at an asparagus festival. Unfortunately when it was released in the USA we only got the sedan version.
When I drove diesels with particulate filters I considered BMW, but they didn’t offer a manual transmission option with a diesel motor in the USA so I went with a 2010 Golf TDI 6spd manual and then a 2013 Passat TDI 6spd manual.
I considered a 2017 BMW 320i with manual transmission, but chose a GTI instead because it had more performance at a similar price.
Now that I’m looking at an electric car, manual transmission is no longer an issue and the i4 has a hatchback. With the i4 M50 I’ll have an environmentally friendly car that has sporty performance and handling while also being a practical family car.

I started with a 2005 e46 touring 325iX automatic in black
![879]()
, Then got into a 2002 e46 M3 6spd in steel grey that had an oil leak I could not diagnose after thousands I put into finding it .
![880]()
Got rid of that car got into a 2006 e46 m3 6spd in interlagos , loved this car . Even had the cinnamon interior . So was definitely a rarity , Did not want to sell that car but had to Bc of finances.
![881]()
Sold the black e46 touring to my cousin , and got a unicorn in a 2009 328i RWD 6spd touring stripper model with no iDrive screen . So I was definitely happy with this . It has original volk te-37 first issue without the engravings on the outer lips like they do on the newer models .
![882]()
Currently sitting on this car along with a garage queened 1998 c43 AMG in obsidian black that I restored .

As far as electric vehicles , I currently own a 2017 i3 BEV and just finished a lease with a red 2018 i3s . So i am excited for this i4 and can’t wait !
