Yes, my 2001 BMW X5 4.4i was my first BMW....
I own and enjoy both Mercedes-Benz and BMW automobiles, whereas my wife is now exclusively a BMW driver.

In 2016, when the lease on my BMW M6 Coupe ends, for my next vehicle I will most likely decide to get either a 2016 BMW X5M or a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE63 AMG, (which will debut at the 2015 New York Automobile Show this April).

(See my listing of our current/previous vehicles below)
