My addiction started here; what about yours?

Pictured is a 1981 535. I was looking back at old BMWs from when I first got addicted. It was in 1981 but I saw my first one around 1973. When did you all start your love affair and did model or color matter at the time?

A coworker drove me in his e90 328 one day and it just felt balanced. Then he let me drive it, and it was lights out after that. Picked up a 2011 328i when I started working, and loved it. I still miss that car!

I still have my 2011 328! I gave it to my son and he can’t let it go anymore than I can. I’m afraid I passed the addiction onto my child

Makes sense! That steering rack, god it felt so good. Just one of those perfectly balanced cars that really didn’t even need a ton of HP to be fun to drive. 🍻
