Hey there! This was my first BMW, the 525e.
Story behind this is I crashed my Ford Fairlane that my father was letting me drive and after the crash I didn't feel safe driving the Ford anymore so with that I had a small $2,000 budget to run out and get a new car.

First dealer I went to there were so many crap cars but this one stood out to me, had a bit of laqucer comming off the roof and heat damage on the bonnet but I saw potential. It was a 5 Series as well which was great as the 3's were always too small for my liking, and too basic on the inside.

With my BMW a few days after I got it. As you can see I was still on my 'P' Plates.
In Australia it tells that you've only been on the road for 2 years max. Although now they've changed them from White to Red for the first 6 months, and Green for the last 1 1/2 Years.

Trip down to Albany (South-West of WA) presented a great photo opportunity.

The interior was clean, simple and a lovley colour.

I did end up putting another antenna in there but I never took another picture of it, you know how it is. You enjoy the moment and forget about looking back.

Small sound system to replace the horrid speakers that were in there. I don't blast my music I just like a clean crisp thump in my base so the basicness did it perfectly for me.

That's it! Be sure to check out my 1992 BMW 525i which is what I'm currently driving and LOVING!

Thanks for the comment! But my 5er is nowhere near as impressive as your E28; and she definitely brings back some fond memories. My sister used to drive a 1981 528e with the USDM protruding bumpers, I always hated those but honestly it was the first car I ever loved. It's comforting to see someone that continues to take care of an almost forgotten beauty. Ah! I'm getting a little jealous!
