Every time I take my car out to the local track for a school weekend, then blast around track in stock configuration (when I'm too lazy to do tires and pads) , then go home again...How many 4 door sedans can do that?

Mine was driving an E36 M3 through the Ozark Mountains last year, the weather was perfect, windows down, banging through the gears one twist after another, and that sweet straight-six symphony echoing throughout the mountains

they probably didnt even need actors for that video, pretty much spot on lol

definitely was cheesing it here in my cubicle. never had a chance to do European delivery but I WILL do it at least once in my life. I always try to contain my smile so much when I picked up my bmws but i'm pretty sure it shows

ultimate driving machine indeed

1. When my CA cold started it at the dealership to back it out of the showroom when I picked it up -- I was standing behind it, and an indoors cold start....

2. Every morning for the first several weeks when I walked out to the car and could still hardly believe that this gorgeous M3 in front of me was actually MINE.

3. First time I revved it all the way to redline.

I have fond memories of all of the BMWs I owned in the past (320i, 325i, 525i and 740i Sports) as well as my current M3.

They all just made me feel very special.

Thanks!

This 1M is my 10th BMW and the greatest car I ever had(including Impreza GTT, Audi S3, E46 M3 E90 335i and E90 M3) . A smile every mile. The way BMWs supposed to be imho. This weekend we're going to do a bit sideways action @ Mercedes Testtrack ATP Papenburg, Germany.

A song I remember my mom singing in the kitchen when I was a child and it's my 'love' for my oldskool 1M.

And this is for my wonderful wife.

Cheers
Robin

Same here - the first cold start of my 1M at the BMW Welt was just bliss.
