BMW 1 Series

Apologies if one of these already exists, I've done a search and couldn't find one. Thought it interesting to see pics of peoples previous cars and how they got to the 1-Series. I just posted this on another forum so here's mine from the last 10 years:

Had company cars for years, so went down the two car route with a Westfield 1800 Sport bought from the factory in 1999, was one of their ex motor show cars. Sold it back to them around a year later.



Opted out of the Co Car scheme and bought the new bugeye Impreza UK300 limited edition with Prodrive Performance Pack and tarted it up a bit - looks cheesy now I know



One year later I was in the Subaru garage to buy a spare part, saw this STi, test drove it and bought it!



I saw the yellow RX8 at the motor show in 2002? and loved it. Always loved the RX7 and liked the idea of the rotary, so pre-ordered one as soon as I could. Had to wait almost a year for it, and during the time they reduced the spec from 250bhp to 230bhp. Great drive though, just thirsty and could do with more power. Had a Racing Beat exhaust fitted which sounded nice.



Moved out to the sticks and decided I needed a sensible car with AWD. Bought this Audi A4 TDi Quattro 180bhp. Took it to AMD and had it remapped to 210bhp. Nice enough car for cruising, looked good and was practical, but hard ride, numb steering and interfering traction control didn't make it much fun.



Got divorced, moved back to town, had a midlife crisis and bought the 350Z. GT4 limited edition with 300bhp. Kept it 2.5 years, the longest of any recent car and think it was probably the best car I have owned.



Saw the Z4MC up for sale locally. Just went for a test drive, loved it, bought it. Sold it last week for more than I paid for it



Now got the 123D haven't taken any pics yet but planning to do so this weekend.

^^^^Wow! You had some very nice cars.
The only bit I don't get is going from Z4M to 123d?!

I had an Sti that looked exactly like that, brilliant car!
That 350Z looked lovely, I like the look of the new 370Z and would be quite tempted by one of those next time, although I hear the residuals aren't great so the company car rates are high.
I'm not surprised by the Z4M to 123d, I went from an M3 to a 330i to a 123d and haven't been at all disappointed. Cracking performance and 42mpg.
By the way Mark, Will at P-Torque had a black Z4M when I had my map done, not sure if he's still got it or not.

Loved the Sti at the time...wouldn't have one now.

Think the 350Z was probably the best car of the lot. Can't really put my finger on it but loved it.

Looking forward to meeting up with Will soon

Wow nice car collation. I really like it. I this collection my favourite car is BMW and audi because its design and its interior. I like you all car but in other car its interior is not like BMW.
