    Awesome story, and thank you for your service. That E21 must've made a good impression on you.

    Thanks. It did, and through the 80s and 90s I could only look at BMWs and dream.

    10years ago this month I saw my first E46 sedan (2001 325i) coming off a trailer being delivered to a used car dealer I used to work for, It came from SouthBay BMW and was traded in by the original owner. It was steel grey with ZCP, ZCW and was very clean and straight. It was my 2nd Bimmer at that time (wife had an '06 E90) and my first E46.. 10yrs later and 2 E46's after I still own an E46

    It was 30 years ago, 12/16/1987, that the last E28 5er left the production plant in Dingolfing.

    The very last E28 5-Series to be produced anywhere in the world left the Rosslyn, South Africa plant in December 1989. South African production of CKD (completely knocked down) kit E28s included 96 M5s.

    I bought my second BMW on Father’s Day weekend 13 years ago, 2005. It was a 1999 e46. There’s a funny story behind it.

    I stopped by on Saturday, test drove, and decided to pull the trigger. We agreed on $10,000 OTD. We were completing the paperwork, and suddenly I got cold feet. I told them I decided to pass and walked away. I thought about it for 2-3 days. Went back to the dealer on Tuesday and told them: I’m ready to buy, but can offer only $9,700 OTD.

    They accepted my offer.
