as you can tell from the smilies the golf for all it's rattles and faults compared to the quality of the bm's (imo) is still one of my favourite cars that i have had.
iI can still remember picking it up from Bristol and letting it rip leaving the toll gate to go over the bridge (coming from a 1.4 rover aswell )

Right, well here goes my list, not too bad I'd say:

Ps mitch, loving the 325i sport especially if it was an e30!!!

Current: BMW X5 3.0d remapped 2003

BMW mini cooper current.

SAAB 9-3 vector sport 2.0turbo remapped to 210bhp

E36 323i convertible with m pack on it, plus genuine set of m3 staggered alloys refurbed so looked awesome

Volkswagen golf gti 1.8t meh ok but only 150bhp so not quick really

Then my first car an e36 BMW 320i coupe which I loved!!

And that's it!!

No mate it was an e46!

E30 325i sport was without doubt the best car I ever owned, spent an absolute fortune on it getting it up to scratch.

The order may be a little off starting with my first:

Nissan Bluebird
Citroën AX GT
Renault 5 GT Turbo (Raider Edition)
Renault 19 16v
Honda CRX Vtech
Rover Coupe
VW Corrado G60
Toyato MR2 GT Limited
BMW M3 (e36)
-- enter company car phase
Ford Puma
Lexus IS200
VW Golf TDi GT
Toyato RAV4 XTR
-- had enough of company cars
Lotus Elise
Porsche Boxster 986 (current)
X5 3.0d (current)

Loved the GT Turbo...

Some nice cars already mentioned by others...

Starting with my first...

Renault Clio 1.4 RT
Peugeot 306 1.9 DT
BMW E39 530d
Honda Civic Type-R (as second car)
BMW E39 535i Sport
BMW E53 X5 4.8is

Absolutely loved both E39's, they were built so well and never let me down... If I could I would buy a brand new one today!

My old man has an old e39 Turks and went into the stealers a good while back to change it for a new one and they offered him peanuts for it so he said stuff it and kept it and it just keeps going and going virtually trouble free (other than the usuall maintenance issues) and he love it.
