A 1985 325i in summer 1986. It was owned by a friend of my mother's who volunteered to teach me to drive when she chickened out after having a terrible experience teaching my brother.. It was a lot more fun to learn on than my mom's 1976 Plymouth Volare (3-on-the-tree manual...my brother burned out the clutch 3 times).
I didn't drive another BMW until I got to take a spin in my boss's 1999 M5 shortly after he got it. I've been chasing my memory of the M5 experience ever since.
