Currently have
10 Mazda CX-7 (cross-over SUV)
13 135i that I just picked up two weeks ago

I'm pretty sure I actually owned a few more rx7's but just for parts or short periods of time.

On a side note..... Mazda is developing the next rotary engine --16X
Rumor of a "next" RX7 based off the MX-5 platform but with a 300+ HP rotary in it..

I never even thought about owning a BMW till a great deal got me in my old E60. I remember after the first week telling my GF, I'm gonna be a Bimmer guy for life now.
