Garage List
Definitely hate my 1994 E36 318i, but maybe not as much as the 2001 X5 4.4i I used to own. The build quality in both was lacking, but the X5 gave me a ton of trouble (MAF, control arms, brake calipers, radiator, etc. etc.) before the CPO warranty was up. I traded it at 99K+ miles; did not want to be responsible for that beast off-warranty.

The 318i runs fine, but has many little issues like the pot-metal door pulls that break inside the door, cheap plastic everywhere, and more squeaks and rattles than you can shake a stick at. Plus it's kinda ugly...

The list:
1987 325e coupe (still own)
1994 318i sedan (still own)
2001 X5 4.4i (traded)
2003 325i sedan (traded)
2003 530i (traded)
2007 Z4 3.0si coupe (my baby)

Have only ever owned this one - 3 1/2 years now. Love the car, makes for a great DD that gets tracked a few times each season. Easily over $6,000 in extras on it now (more than I paid for the car) and can't stand to part with it.

Probably won't be owning another BMW for a few years honestly. I was really close to pulling the trigger on an '03 530i after I sold my Chrysler 300C, but opted not to. Next car will most likely be '09 Cadillac CTS.
