I acquired my drivers license in the Summer of 1987. I was not given a car, but instead was able to use a family company owned Dodge Truck. My 0.02, trucks are not the ideal first automobile for a new driver. Anyways...after the truck I was given a used 1983 Volvo 240DL, 2 door with a manual trans.
Like Eric, I drove several new 325i(s) and 325is(s) back in the day and this is when I fell hard for BMWs. It certainly did not help that one of my friends received a new '87 325is when he got his license in the winter of 1987. At the time though my family owned a 1986 E28 524td. I took my drivers road test in it. :-)
Edit: BTW, my family purchased my friends '87 iS five years later with 33,XXX miles. The friend had traded the E30 for a '93 E36 318is. The E30 was my younger brothers first car.
