Just one for me, currently owned it for the last couple of weeks:

'88 320i 2door saloon Bronze in colour - Totally standard and staying that way but with some future comfort improvements!

Can't see me owning any other car and I don't know why it took me so long to buy one!
Keeping it standard.... someone has too.

'79 T E21 320 bought at age 20 in *cough* march 1988... Killed after 6 long years
'82 X E28 528i Auto bought august 88... part ex'd it to my great uncle for his E12 528i - never got on with the E28
'81 W E12 528i Auto in April 1989 px'd with the last one for cash in my favour - much prefered the feel of the E12
Sold it for the 316, needed a cheaper car. (still had the E21 though)
'83 Y E21 316 late 1990 sold after 2yrs for my first E30 - the E21 320 was scrapped during this time
'85 B E30 320i Auto - 4dr, but beautiful car, bought mid 1992...

Then mid '94 I left home and got a flat with the girlfriend, now the wife. Decided I couldn't afford the BMW and the flat, so the car went. Ran a few fwd Vauxhall turds for 9.5 years, then...

'94 L E30 318i Auto Touring, bought August last year. Missed the E30 too much.
Currently slumming it in an E46 Touring

just 3 and 2 E21s.
I bought my first E21 in '81 - it was a 316 KWG 757P. Boy it was thirsty - about 19mpg. Kept it for a few months and sold it on but I got the bug.
My next one was in '86 which was a 316 - EAS 980X. Then onto the E30s in '87 when I bought a 323i. Still have that one now, some 20 years later.

In '03 bought an E30 316 for £50 including 4 new tyres and a new exhaust. Ran it for 13 months and rust killed it.
Current smoker is a '90 320iSE bought at the new year for £70. abit f work was needed eg 2 tyres and a windscreen plus sorting out the butchered electrics. All done now and going well.

Can't beat rwd.
