I was hooked on BMW the moment I first drove my brother's BMW 2002 back in the early '70s. I owned a '61 VW bug and loved it, but driving that 2002 was just an amazing experience; cornering, braking, fun factor, space, looks, everything!
At the time, I was in college and could not afford one. Then came marriage and kids so my dream was put off a bit longer. Finally in 1988 I bought a new '88 528e when business was good and I could actually afford it. I've been driving BMWs ever since.
Here's a pic of my brother's 2002 back in the day with my wife at the time. Wait, she's still my wife. 50 years this year!
