So how many ex-/current BMW owners here in BAIC?

Just curious. Don't forget what model and any mods

1988 E28 5.28e (late model). Factory upgraded exhaust, sport springs, upgraded brakes, minor front lip. Nothing too spectacular but I loved it, especially on the highways

I didn't really own it but before I bought the Suby I drove my mom's 1996 328 iS. The only mod it had was a new stereo. I loved driving that car sooo much. tons of torque, easy to do burnouts.

I had an E36. Only mods were some Racing Dynamics lowering springs, racing dynamics intake, and some rims.

I too once had an E24 1985 635CSi

It was a pretty sweet ride, it'd run 120 mph all day long across Nevada, gathered up a few open road racing trophies with it.

But keeping it alive was breaking the bank, when I totalled up how much I'd spent on maintenance and repairs over the 4 years I owned it I relized I could have bought a new M3.
So I went out and got my WRX and sold the BMW.

now that I think of it, the guy that bought it still owes me $800........

Zoeb: you're beamers are/were damn clean!

Myself, I'm thinking of picking up a 1990 325i and just putting some rims and lowering springs on it, using it as a daily driver.
