What BMW's have you owned?

First BMW was a 1984 325e - bought it when I got my first job out of college in 1987. It was used, 50k miles on it - I put another 100k on it and it was just about a perfect car. I really loved that car, more than any other I have had. Got married a few years later, wife could not drive a manual - I tried to teach her, but just could not watch it in my beloved BMW. BMW was sold and we moved into married life with kids and a long line of a mini van, some Volvo's (wife still drives on and loves it ) and several Lexus's, all very reliable but boring cars. Fast forward to last year and I bought another BMW - X3 - and love it, brought back those old 325 memories. I am so happy with my X3, we just helped our daughter buy a 2025 X1 - she was a Volvo fan also, but I encouraged her to look at other cars and she hands down chose the X1 - loves it.

1984 325e (E30)
2024 X3 (G01)
2025 X1 (U11)

The 325 picture is not of my car, mine was the same except dark blue color.

Bought my first and only BMW in 2022. It's 2005 e90 325xi n52, dark grey, beige leather.
It wat at 290k km. Immediately at 300k got to rattling at higher loads, check engine light on, turns out 3 out of 6 cylinders were busted. Got into salvaging operation, thinking of selling at least for parts to cover my losses to some point.
Still, something drove me to continue to fix it, and after almost two years of getting the right engine block replacement, legal twists with the customs, and mechanic traditionally not having this job as a priority, after all that, and my own o2 sensors replacement as a final touch...
This Bimmer is still alive and kicking, purring like a kitten at 600rpm and roaring like a lion at anything above 2000rpm. Many told me I'm a fool for continuing to fix it, and they probably are right. I got hooked, what can I say.

Unfortunately, these are the few photos that I had on my work computer to share. I do not have any photos of the 323ci, 525i or the X5 35i, I would have to look for those on my home computer.
