Owner ship

I have had lots of cars in my time both old and new and the best car i have ever owned  has to be the bmw e34 ,that is why i have now gone back to one, not because its all i can afford but because its such a great car in all aspects.

And now i have finaly found one again i plan on getting it as close to A1 as i can i would sooner spend my money on this than going out and buying any other car, im 37 years old now and can not see myself ever selling, unless something really drastic goes wrong with it.

Hence this poll, i was just wondering how many others felt the same way?

Seeing as i have a spares donor car i can afford to keep mine for quite a long time 

I was going to keep mine 3 years...but its looking like it maybe 3 months....we will see. 

I really would like to have mine in 5 yrs time. By then
it will be 20 yrs old and turn more heads that it does
already! I have a shedload of spares, a complete
engine & box I could drop in immediately if needed,
and half an engine to build a 2.7 out of. I know I've
spent �2k+ on it but I love the comfort, handling and
sucurity I have when I drive it. E34's? A future classic
methinks.....

Cheers,

Shaun

I have had my chevette now for almost two years and I love her to bits. Would only sell that if someone offered me a ridiculous amount of money, and even then I'd think twice. Can't see that ever leaving my driveway. The E28 was a cheap purchase, and that hasn't turned a wheel in my ownership as it is still not MoT'd (any day now......). However, on the very brief late night short drives I have had, I have loved the smooth cruising ability and the kick in the back on kickdown.... plus the alarming ability to drink unleaded. My astra will probably have to go in the next couple of months to finance the upkeep of the 525e. Sad to see her go, she was my first car. So, one will never be sold, the second will never be sold, and the third may have to go shortly against my wishes.

 never never never I just love it, its going to cost me ��� but it I think its werth it. at the moment.

i have had my e34 nearly five years and would never sell it, i have done about 60k in it ..the head has been done, which wasnt cheap but worth it.. some people (mainly the missus) think i am crazy spending money to keep it mint and running well but i think it is well worth it ! just flew through another mot with 178,000 on the clock..  

if i was to get another car it wouldnt be anything but BMW and probably e34....

i've never kept any of my BMW's longer than 6 months, because i get bored!! but the sport is staying until i get another E34 M5

the E46 should go within a few months, although i've been loving driving it, this weekend the sport came out! don't want to sell but could be forced by the right car

My first post, and my first BMW! Only owned 1 "car" before this one, a ford fiesta that I passed my test in  

520i SE 1990 was the same car my dad had when I was in my early teens, loved the feeling of being dropped off at m8's houses in something so cool also loved the long drives south in the summer from cumbria, dad used to say he'd never seen me sleep so well as I did on the back seats, so smooth n comfy was the ride

So pleased with it and so is my mum. My turn to drive south now, her turn to snooze in comfort

Message to Speedy!!! thank you for the free spare parts! if i ever pass your way...that drink i owe you will be a very large one

Owned my E34 for nearly two weeks and still very impressed with it and will be keeping it for several years - on my 6th BMW now, having the 528i for two years, E28 520i for nearly three years and two 320i's and a 316.
