This is my first car, and I love it already. I bought it three weeks ago, and I can't legally drive it alone til I turn 18 (April 17th). It's killing me.
1985
535i
E28
Black
Leather, power everything. (not sure what came standard)
Stock everything, as far as I know. Within the month, new struts. Since it currently has stock Metric wheels, I'll be buying more before I need new tires. If I manage to make more than $9/hr soon, I'll consider chipping it.
It's my first car, and thus a daily driver. Also used for cruising to think.
No awards, and it probably wont be winning any soon.
I bought the car recently from a used car lot for $2500. The cool thing is the interior condition, which is immaculate. Everything works, though the windows are a little slow to roll up (A friend owns an e28 528e and his are the same). Before the dealer bought it at a wholesale auction, it was a one-owner car. I wouldnt normally believe that, but the dealer produced the title from 1986, signed off on just months ago by the original owner. I thought that was particularly neat.
I love the car already. Im still getting used to the clutch, but I think I'm doing pretty good. I drove it twice to get some friends home in a pinch (My friend's 320i decided to drop-tranny about a block from my house), and that really helped me climb the learning curve.
My favorite thing about the car? The steering wheel. It feels so right.
Oh, and the full original tool kit in the back is pretty neat too.

I am now the owner of a '98 E39 sport. Black on light grey. 17" bbs style wheels, completely stock rite now, but looking for a lotta cosmetic mods mainly. I previously had and just sold my very trusty '90 E34 M20, had it for four years with a lowered suspension, 18" BMW style 32 replica wheels, cai, and chip, (I was previously under mile hi 5series) but kept forgetting my pass..hehe.

This is my first BMW, but I doubt that it will be my last. My last 3 cars have been Caddys and while I enjoyed them all, this car is quicker and a lot more fun to drive. Rear wheel drive is so much better. Will probably add a cd changer and subwoofer, but not much else.
