We had ours shipped from Fla. My first moment was when I floored it racing my wife home and heard that V8 screaming like a race car...

The second time was when a friend in his e46 M3 was on our bumper and my wife punched it... the M3 could barely keep up.

the third time was running the 1/4 mile at ATCO last fall and beating the firebird in the lane next to me

Great thread.

My first was when we picked up the '01 3.0 brand new in Jan, 2001. Drove it 7 hours home for my mother in law. My wife and I thought we'd really arrived. So nice.



The next was a year later at the BMW Zentrum in SC. We were taking PCD of my wife's 2002 330 and we saw the IIHS crash test unit. That much damage and the test dummy scratched its knees.





Then, a couple years later, necessity called. I'd just made a major career move and we had a baby on the way. We were also remodeling a home we'd gutted down to the studs.



I drove every truck I could find. F150, F250, Chevy this and that, Dodge, all of 'em. I went to the dealer to check on a $299 lease for a 325. I saw what would become my dear old green machine. When we drove it, I knew. Ah-HAH! THIS is the ride in which I want to take my children home from the hospital.



Seven years later in 2011, my next ah-HAH! A LeMans Blue 2004 4.8is with less than 12k miles. I bought it without first selling my 3.0. I wasn't even sure I WOULD sell the 3.0. I just knew I'd have THIS one.



I remember asking her in the kitchen. "Um. Would you divorce me if I just bought another X5?"

"Don't be silly." she said. "I'll divorce you for some other reason." 27 years together this year and she still makes me laugh.

The go fast ah-hah's happen almost daily in this thing, but the most recent one was our 3,600 mile road trip. We had to 'slow' to 80 in some Florida traffic. I told my copilot that you could really tell how fast you'd been going when 80 seemed slow. He asked, "Uhhhh... how fast HAVE we been going?"

While not from that trip, it was 100 MPH and smooth as butter.

Hey- SHE's the cool one. I just try to keep up! And we met young. We've been *together* for 27 years, but married for (only) 16 this year. We had to get out of high school, college, and get some job security before we got officially hitched. But in my head, she's still swaying down the halls in a peach skirt flitting just above her knees.

And you thought my devotion to a car brand was impressive.
