First BMW, '89 325is, bought from my dad in '97, gave him an excuse to pick up a cherry '90 M3. (The ultimate impulse buy, he saw the car, we went back, I said: "I'll buy the 'is off of you", 2 hours later he had an M3 in the driveway)

Second, CPO'd 1998 318ti, picked up in May 2001 from Passport BMW in Maryland.
