My dad bought his first 2002 from Max Hoffman in 1970 I think. He got me hooked and I learned to drive in one of his tii's.

Ahhh... what a question, huh? There were soooo many european sedans that helped fuel my passion of automobiles...
Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Audi, BMW... but I have to say that the Lotus Espirit and the Porsche 911 have won my heart. One day... yes, one day!

My first Euopean car was a Porsche 911. My 2nd was a Porsche 928. My 3rd was a Porsche 944. I moved to an E46 325i from there because I wanted a commuter and all my Porsche friends said that BMW offered the best blend of performance and practical day-to-day driving. They were right - my 325i with sport package was remarkably similar to my front-engined Porsches in handling.

I would say it was Ferrari that got me to pay attention to european cars. The first euro car that really comes to mind is the old old old school S500.

I have to say, Mercedes's whole lineup in general is what got me into Euro cars about five years ago. Then, when my dad showed me his 645Ci, I instantly fell in love with BMW.
