      First car '88 528e lasted about a year, 10k miles roughly 

      2nd '95 318is 6 months, disliked every mile I put on it

      3rd '86 528e had for a year but father owned it for past 4, he put on 45k

      4th '85 528i had it for 10 months, still in way to many different pieces. 

      5th '86 528e technically I've had it 3 months now, put 1500 miles on the rear end only

              I've had my current e46 touring for a little over 3 years and have put over 70k miles on it in that time.

              My e36 M3 has only seen about 5k miles in the 2 years I've owned it :huh:

                    2. 1989 Alpine 325iX auto coupe. Sold off to some dude, about 9 months.

                    3. 1989 Delphin 325i coupe.  Greatest love.  Had for almost two years.  Now Andrew's car.

                    4. 1997 Silver 328iC auto.  WANT TO SELL IT NOW DAMN YOU.  Buy my shit vert Randy.

                    Im not including parts cars, because they were non-functioning from the start.  Ripped up some good ones though.

                                I have had my 328is for almost a year now.  I have put on 11k miles in that time, making it 244k total.  Never a problem, only oil changes and brakes.

                                  Had my 1992 e36 318is for 2.5 years, put 20k on it before I sold it in August

                                  Now I have my 1991 e30 318is, had it for about 2 months so far and probably put only 600 miles on it (It's in storage for the winter now as I am away for school)

                                  1991 318is, 1991 318i, 2022 Bronco

                                          I never had one overly long, but loved them all.

                                          94 325is. 3 years bought with 168,000 sold with 200,000

                                          99 M3.  1 year. Bought with 125,000 lost a fight with a median at 148,000 (heavy heavy rain storm)

                                          89 535i/5. 1 year. Bought with 188,000 sold with 215,000, zero problems zero complaints, just crazy boring.

                                          89 325ix. Bought as project car, finally got it going, put 150 miles on it and parted it.

                                          95 M3. 2009 to present. Bought with 180,000 miles, currently sits at 235,000 strong.

                                          04 M3. 2012 to present, put on 18,000 miles already. 

                                          I plan on keeping the 95 M3 till it dies an honorable as a track day / autox car, and the E46 should be around for a long time as well.
