Such a clean, simple, modernized interior. Exterior styling took a while to grow on me as it was tough too top the might E46, but I came around.

The looks of an early non-M Sport E90 with chrome kidneys, these exact wheels and piss-yellow angel eyes have grown on me a lot in the past couple years. The interior is just a great place to be in.

My own first BMW: 2005 E87 118d

The BMW that got me into BMWs: my dad's 1988 E34 525i Manual
We did a roadtrip around Europe in that.

Here's a review from just before he bought it (albeit the auto):

[Onizukachan]

Black on black 92 e34 525iT I bought from OCWheelWurx about 15 years ago pending the arrival of son 2. Sold my modded awd DSM to get it.

Eventually wound up manual swapped and a bunch of euro touches added. E34 scene was vey active back then. Wish I could get it back but the person I later sold it to totaled it.

Just bought my first BMW. A beautiful 2016 550i M Sport with xDrive. I have already added a BM3 Stage 1 93 octane tune on it, not that it needed it but heck why not. Stage 1 should put me closer to the 550hp mark instead of 445hp.

I started as a VW/Audi guy. After a B5 & B6 S4 I got a 2003.5 M3. I have had 8 BMW's total now.

No pics unfortunately, but my first bmw in 1991 was a 1986 535is 5 spd in cinnabar red with black interior. What a great car....

[David Jackson]

Interesting to read people's first BMW's. Had a few too many to recall them all now, my first was a (don't know the model number just learning these things) UK x reg 5 series. Since then had 4 more 5's 3 3's which were all coupe's all being company cars. As I say too many to list now. Worst was my X5 hybrid, just did not get along with it. The best? That's easy my current one, a G80 fab car my retirement present to myself.

[SpeedyATL]

Congrats on retirement David. That's great! I'm about 9 years behind you. My incoming m440cv is my pre retirement gift to myself as the wife and i are going to do some heavy traveling once i pull the ripcord.

I currently own and drive a LAND ROVER FREELANDER - HSE AUTO 2.2 -it is all singing and dancing - it comes with a sports gearbox and has been a fantastic car - the leather in it is superb! The car comes with heated front seats, a leather heated steering wheel and SAT NAV - and a 20gb HARD DRIVE so I can save all my favourite albums. I am thinking of part - exchanging for a OUTLANDER PHEV but having test driven it I was disappointed with the quality.
It has a 30 mile electric range and a 2.0 litre engine - petrol. So I have moved onto the BMW 5 Series - E range - which also does 30 miles on the battery.

What I need to know is does the SE come with:
1. Heated seats
2. Heated steering wheel
3. HARD DRIVE for saving music and USB PORT?
4. Leather Seats

I know the trims are SE / M / M SPORT - my issue is the SE is cheaper than the M and M SPORT models but is the SE basic? My journey to work is a 16 mile round trip - so will the BMW cover 16 miles in electric - while I have on my music - heating etc? Is it nice to drive because having driven LAND ROVERS for 15 years - 3 in total - should I get a BMW 5 series - or just stick with my FREELANDER?

I am thinking of buying a 2018 model - I always buy 2nd hand cars - with low mileage though - under 25,000 MILES and there are plenty available. Another question I would want to ask is - the 2018 SE was 40,000 brand new and in 2022 it is down to 25,000 - why is that?

Many Thanks for any reply - but I am not a BMW owner and would like to what these cars are like - is really worth buying the BMW - M 5 SERIES or will the SE serve my needs!

I purchased my first BMW in September 1985. It was a 635CSi 5mt Delphin Grey/Pearl Beige. I have owned it for 36+ years and it's still going strong. Here are a couple of recent photos --
