Maty, that ride was pretty sharp, esp. with the lowering and 19's. Nice!

Here's my list of previous cars. Went through quite a few in 2001 and 2002, but that was because they were temporary "pool" company cars and not because I kept trashing them
As you can see, once I tasted BMW, I never looked back
private (cheap 2nd hand cars after uni!)
2000: VW Polo
2000: Audi 80
company cars (Audis & Alfa were about a 1-2 years old and the BMWs ordered from new)
2001: Audi A4
2002: Audi A3
2002: Alfa 166 (- piece of junk!)
2002: BMW 320d E46
2004: BMW 320d E46
2006: BMW 520d E60
2008: BMW 525dA E60 (Current ride)
Pics of my E60s are in my signature, apart from that the only pic I could find is of my second 320d M-Sport on its winter rims... I loved that car, in fact I still do

Great thread! Brings back all kinds of car-related memories....
My dad bought me my first car... a 94 Toyota Corolla E100 AWD. It was a great car until I wrecked it in the rain...
By that time i was working and earning enough to buy cars myself, so I went with:
1993 Lexus ES300
1994 Toyota Sprinter SE
1993 Chevy Corsica 3.1 (Don't ask)
2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally (the only car I bought brand new)
2000 BMW Z3 2.3
2004 BMW 530i
2002 BMW Z3 2.5
2004 BMW 645i (current)
2005 BMW 545i (wife's current)
Here are some pics:
