Back to BMW again after a long long time....will not look back

my first BMW was a E36 318i which I bought back in the 90's at the price of $113,000. I then sold it off at a very low price after few years, which I really felt painful then. But my wife and myself really left with a very good impression on the handling of this 318i and always think of coming back to BMW again one day.

Then I switched to few Japanese cars from then till now because of fuel efficient I need for my work.

Just recently, I traded in my 5 years old Japanese car for a 1 year plus F10 Highline.

I recognize this F10 is my dream car so I made a bold decision to buy it despite the hig price tag now.

Since I have the car, I enjoy every moment I have on this well maintained F10, and the features of all the Highline.

I know I may be making a big loss few years down the line if I do decide to sell it.

But I will not look back.

That's life.

Not very often we can make our dream comes true.

Back to BMW again after a long long time....will not look back

My first BMW was a 1996 E39 523i which I bought second hand in 1999 costing me a whopping $168K. It was a real joy to drive compared to several Japanese cars I've owned before. But I had to sell it when I lost my job due to the dotcom bust back in 2001. Fast forward to today, and I just got a used 1 yr old F10 523i. And I enjoyed every minute behind the wheel. It was like deja vue for me. While the F10 has grown in size and has more high tech gizmos, my E39 had auto rear roller blinds and front passenger memory seat. However the sound system on the E39 really sucked!

AUTO "rear roller blinds??" as in front seat no people, rear set got people, blind activates?
 
Re: Back to BMW again after a long long time....will not look back

toitally agree...the F10 is the most handsome on the roads right now, and same lines as the E39, but better looking

oh btw, the E39 shd be the 2.2 Double vanos inline 6 ......superb car that was...miss mine too

e36 alot died-ed liaozz lah, including mine
even poor Camel chairman E36 will be gone come next year, no thanks to the coe

I really liked that E36, very well built and design nice also.

One of the reason I did not go back to BM after E36 is that none of the 3 series follow that impress me, until the latest F30.

5 series was sort of not on my target list, as I only regard it as a dream car not in reality.

So finally between a F30 and F10, I decided to get a used F10 that fits to my budget instead of getting a new F30 and still dreaming of a F10.

Finally i told myself one day...Why not just make the dream comes true ?!!!

Life is too short not to drive your dream car!!!
