For 26 years, all I've heard from my dad is how great and wonderful BMWs are.

It was his dream car.

When he was in his 50s, after putting 2 of his 3 sons through college (the 3rd son is entering College this fall), my dad finally was able to purchase the car of his dreams: a BMW M3

It changed him a little, made him younger somehow, as if he reconnected with his youth.

There was a new life in him

My younger brother bought a 2004 BMW 330 w/ Sports Package just 3 weeks ago - he was able to afford it a lot sooner than my dad b/c my 23 year old brother doesn't have a family yet and he works as a computer programmer.

Yesterday night, I bought my BMW - not quite as flashy as my dad and brothers, but I love it just as much: 2004 BMW 325i w/ the Premium Package.

I was so excited last night that I almost slept in the car. I couldn't sleep b/c I was so excited. I kept looking out the window to stare at my new car.

Just wanted to share - this looks like a very welcoming place and I am glad to be a new member to the community.

Hello everybody.

Hi dismaldream ,
Just wanted to say congats and welcome.
I bout a 93 320i few weeks ago, I was so excited. I couldn't sleep the night before I got.
so I sure know how you feel and why, not quiet as flashy but if you work hard in life you will get there sooner or later.
Just wanted to say good luck to all of you.

Now, replace every instance of BMW with Honda or Ford. Not quite as meaningful ? Basically, BMW builds vehicles people can be passionate about !

welcome to the board, sounds exactly like my family, my dad has put a sense of BMW into all of us and we just can't appreciate any car as much as BMW with its performance and style, noticed that you are from Orange County and I am too, what h.s. did u go to? i go to Santa Margarita Catholic H.S.....if your anywhere near there...

You guys are lucky. To my dad, a BMW is an overrated piece of shit that breaks down on every corner. Every time something goes in my car because its the previous owner's fault (because those are the only things that went wrong) he just has to say something underlining his theory of BMW being inferior to Japanese cars or something. Why is it the companies fault that my fan clutch went when the previous owner broke one fan blade and made the whole thing disbalanced? and that's just the beginning, I must tell you this though, I will tell my children how great BMWs are and I already tell my friends that they are awesome.

I guess my dad is kind of on a similar page. He used to be a big BMW fan, he went through a BMW 2002 and an E30 3-series (both of which he had way before I was born). He used to love BMW and stick shift but then in the late 80's he switched over to Benz and he hasn't turned back. My dad is just an auto-driving Benz whore now. [thumbd]
