I'm just trying to remember what we've had from BMW, from 1986 to 2014:
E30 316 2 door manual - great first BMW.
E34 520 4 door auto - a little dull.
E36 318 2 door manual - nasty.
E39 523i touring - great car, and useful.
E30 325i cabriolet - wonderful to drive.
E34 525 4 door manual - great all rounder
E46 318i 4 door manual - another great daily drive
E46 325ci cabriolet manual - fun
E46 330ci MSport cabriolet manual - fantastic. Had it 9 years.
In between these I had a DB7 (rubbish build quality, rubbish to drive); Merc E350cdi cab (rubbish build quality - went back for full refund!); Audi TTS MkII (OK, but bland); and now Porsche Cayman 981 PDK (the best car I've owned).
Wife's in a '62 Audi A3 Sportback Tdi 140 manual. Great car. Why does she want an X1???
