Once you get one and COMMIT to it, it's a very rewarding experience (especially with the credit pop culture is giving them these days).
Those classic boxy lines are unmistakeable and still attractive from any angle.
I've owned only two BMW's (both e30's) first was an 86 325es, the second (and current since 2003) is an 88 325is.
I've considered newer models from the e36 onwards, but they keep getting more and more complex and made with cheaper quality parts.
I purchase my vehicles based on how robust and durable they are as they age (performance numbers mean nothing to me) - as a result I'll never own a newer BMW.
