I feel like I was infected with a the BMW bug from quite an early age, my parents had a 1988 BMW 528i that I learnt to drive on and enjoyed using for the first year of my driving life.
Since then I’ve owned a host of different cars but always have a soft spot for some of the punchier BMW models, alongside the Z4 3.0si I also have a F11 535D touring which is very much a family car, but I like it because it’s got some punch and a hell of a lot of practicality.
My sense is that the further you move away from the latest and greatest the more grounded the owners tend to be (not meaning to offend any of you lucky enough to own the new BMW series).
P.S. I love using my retrofit BMW indicators, they work beautifully!
My partner and I are the complete opposite, we are very late to the BMW party, having owned 13 Volvo's (but found too much one-upmanship was creeping in with that brand), we have to agree with you all here that this is a great forum with only good positive things to say about each others motors, and plenty of free friendly advice.
And now having bought an E86 Z4 last October, we seem to have been bitten by the bug as we have just sold our V60 and moved into what feels a very grown up car, a 2017 335d, what a perfect BMW combination (for us), with no offense taken. Unless anyone wants to correct me.
