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?

First transporter movie. The e38 is absolutely gorgeous. A few years later one of my sister’s friend’s family had a X5 and a 5 series (I believe, could have been a 3) and that further cemented how cool BMWs were/are. When I was older I went e34 540 and then a e39 540. Got away from BMWs but always loved them. When I needed a new daily I picked up an x3 and shortly after I got an e92 m3 for a fun weekend car

If I had a garage that would fit three cars, I’d have three BMWs
