It was the car my parents brought me home from the hospital in, and when I was a few months old my mom decided she needed a four door, so they parked the 325is and leased a 525i.

That car has never broken down on us once, and truly only needed routine maintenance, which I am religious about. Still have the thing. Other notable BMWs I’ve…
