For me it was e36m. Best friends mom bought it for him when he turned 16. Somehow convinced her that bimmers were the safest cars ever made. How could she say no to her son's safety?

Really, if I can't laugh about it, I'd cry about it. I choose laughing. And....you are SO right about the E93!

Ever since I was a little girl, I've liked cars. Dunno why. I don't like mechanical or other 'guy' things... But I love the sensation of control, precision and skilled manoeuvring at speed.
But I wanted to be responsible, so I only drove reliable, boring-mobile, cheap cars until I had graduated from an eternity of school and had worked for a couple of years. Then one day, I saw a beautiful, new E46 ZHP coupe. It was love at first sight: I was able to 'afford' the ZHP back then, but decided to play it 'safe' financially. However, since then, I've lusted after beautiful 3-series coupes... Finally, in 2010, I took the plunge and bought a 335i coupe. I never even considered an M car. I thought the 335i would be more than enough for me! Then I discovered Bimmerpost. I was in a good place financially. And the money I decided to put into my house rather than the ZHP back then helped me reach my goal today: to get one of the last S65's... I hope to pick it up next week. I'm one extremely happy lady.

New York Auto Show (circa 90's) sat in a E36 and was blown away how comfortable the seats were. Then I walked around the car and fell in love with the aggressive look. Still my dream to own one of those, for now the E92 will have to do. :P

Seeing the E30 M3 in a magazine when I was about 4 years old started my love affair for BMW in general. It was Henna Rot. I remember it like it was yesterday.
My first real love for M as a department was the first time I saw press pics of the E39 M5. That was the first time in my life I looked at the car and thought it was PERFECT. I wouldn't change a thing about it. While everyone's dream car was a 911 or Ferrari, I wanted a 4 door sedan with 400hp

To be honest, I was looking for a car to replace my Evo IX and wanted to pick up an E46. Pricks at the dealer did not give me the time of day, so I went somewhere else where the saleman pointed me to the E90...after the test drive I had to have her.

I should have included this tidbit of information. As it played out I was in between colors AW and Sparkling Graphite. Both colors are awesome, but there was something about the Sparkling Graphite that I gravitated to. While searching I found out that they only came out with this color in 2008. E90 in this color was hard to find and out of the question in that time line. In part I am I am also in a point in my life where I no longer need to drive my mom around that often so I can do with a coupe
I'm actually jealous you have an E90 in SG.... |

Started dreaming of the E36 M3 before I could drive (legally). Finally realized my dream in June 09' when I purchased my 96 with 57k original miles. Continuing the trend in June of 12' with the purchase of my 08' E92. I hope to have many more M3's in the future.

Test drove the 08' M3 a couple of times while on R&R leave and that's all she wrote. As soon as I got back to Iraq, I had my 335i up for sale and within a month, I had my M3 on order. Picked it up the next day I got off the plane and put 1200 miles on the car within 3 days, got the service out of the way and was on the Nurburgring. I love my M3 but doesn't mean I have love for M cars.
