years in a row. Leases also count. Don't hesitate to pose comments.

16 weeks and 3 days, 3200 miles.

Since Feb 97. 318ti and 323i. Only cars I've owned in those 10+ years.

I turned 18 in Feb 1997. Still moving the 318ti?

Since Dec 31st 1996!!

Since 1982, if my memory serves me correctly.

Just under 3 weeks. Got mine on the 10th of July. Loving every minute with it.

Do you count a Z3 as a 3-series?

Bought a 1995 E36 325i in 1998 (coming off a lease)

Sold it to help finance my 2007 E92 328i

Leases don't count? :rolleyes

Hey, Arctic -- I noticed the car in the picture is decked out with painter's tape. An autox, eh? Cool. ;)

The 335i is my first BMW. Drove it off the lot on Mar 13th a little after 9PM, so that's 4 months, 16 days, 15 hours, and an odd number of minutes. :)

Leases don't count? :rolleyes
Yeah they do, providing you are paying for the lease not your company or something.

3 days for 335
previous 318 owner
previous 2002 owner X2 which counts especially if leases count, LOL!

Since around July 1988

320i 325e 325is 325i and now 328i

Leases are the same as financing. The only people that technically "own" a car have the title in a file in their house. So if you "purchased" or leased they mean the same thing.

I've had my 335 for about 3 months now, its the first 3 series I've ever had, but my family has had 2 5 series sedans in the past.

My 335 coupe is my first 3 series. I drove over 100,000 miles in my first BMW, a 525 and over 100,000 miles in my second BMW, a 740. My wife has 60,000 miles on her X-5 and my son just bought himself a 325.

84 325e, gone at 210K.
99 Mcoupe gone at `75K
95 M3 and the 07 335i in the garage.

'87 E30 325es- got in Dec of 1986
'94 E36 325is- traded the 325es at 186K miles for this in August 1994.
'07 E92 335i- got it on May 2007 (still have the E36 325is-has over 250K miles and runs like it's new)

To this day, regretted that I got rid of the E30. LOVED that car. Sport package (sport seats, M3 steering wheel, aerodynamics, sport suspension and LSD)-so nimble and fun.

E36 325is is still loads of fun-not as tossable as the E30, but has better absolute grip. I used to autox and track this car-haven't done it in the last 2 years.

E92 335i is a wonderful car-does everything well and still is a comfortable cruiser. Best of everything to me-quicker than my 325, handles better (compared to my 325 when it was stock) and more luxury items. Gorgeous design in my opinion. When I got my E36, I wasn't 100% enthused. I grew to love it as opposed to loving the looks of my 325es and my 335i immediately.

Isn't evolution wonderful?

My E92 335i is my first BMW. Having a lot of fun with it...well worth the (long) wait.

1992 325 was my first, had 4 since then.

I've driven only BMW's since 16 (I'm 23) with the exception of a year between my yellow M3 and my 535i during which I had a Benz (and hated it) down at school.

535 doesn't qualify as a 3 series :nono, but its nice having an M3 while still at school. I have to work my ass off much into the second half of the century and might not still be able to get a brand new M3 :mad. I'm happy for you though, not too jealous ;).
