What are your biggest pleasures of owning a BMW?

[KiwiTT 23]

Still waiting for mine to be ready, but wanting to build up my excitement.

For me is looking forward to the driving pleasure I felt in the two short test drives, but doing it every day.

What are your biggest pleasures of owning a BMW?

[NZ BMW 368]

A day without a check engine light... 

Personally I like the quality of feel you get from the interior and build as you ride along. It's just a nice, comfortable place to be. 

[huff3r 347]

The solid clunk when you shut the door. The relative quiet on the open road.

All the above plus, 500 hp V10 growl !!

[treone 648]

Driving the 'monster in stealth' after time spent driving the HSV or Monaro. Then you realise what the Germans have got sooo right for sooo long... and the 500hp V10 grow X2l!! haha

Gear box ratios that were chosen to work with the other gears, not chosen to pass an emission test or obtain a fuel ecomomy figure.

Its gone now, but the E36 M3.... that engine is a work of art. Revs like a Honda, but pulls like a freight train. Always amazes me watching the dyno run of my car, it just keeps on revving. It was also the small things, like the driver-centric dash layout, and the solid feel of everything (also applied to my E46 and E39)

The smell. 

[m325i 709]

Classy European skids.

[MD13 494]

Small touches. Example - warning light comes on and tells me the front left park light is out (which is very handy to know thank you BMW). Even better is the box of spare lights in the boot so I can replace it immediately and refill the box later.

Oil filter location.

Not having to indicate ever again

[Autoglym 255]

The ride, the quality of the build & people stopping, pointing at your car & giving the thumbs up

Oh & the engine sound!!

E28 M535i

 

[mynbmr 225]

3 litre v8 leaving a 3.8 litre v6 commodore for dead

[Neal 544]

Tunnels and s54 engines. ?

[BreakMyWindow 1874]

2000rpm to redline.

[Herbmiester 923]

Finally getting a problem fixed even if the next problem is already raising its ugly head. Not positive I know but my BMW life seems to be that way at present

I thought that was just for Audi drivers now.

Edit:  Haha just noticed you also have an Audi.

With one of each I get a clean pass all round  and I can park anywhere I want

Have just signed off on an E60 M5.

V10 limiter bashing ahoy!!

To be honest though, the mix of handling, luxury and x factor (V10, SMG, etc.)

And the joys of bearings failing 

[kulgan 1042]

Just driving it at present. Getting in it after a extended period and taking a deep breath of BMW.

[GorGasm 563]

In theory the warranty should pay for the failure of 1 bearing...  I might just have to fork out multiple excesses if more than one earing fails

 

[M3AN 4016]

Parking in mobility parks, tailgating, brake-testing tailgaters, taking up two fuel pump stations and paying with coins.

I'm in a BMW bitches. Respect My Authoritah.

 

[hybrid 1043]

100kph drop down to third and flooring it and breaking traction for lols.

[Apex 693]

Mine, TBH, the E30 is the only one that was special. I really liked looking at it in the garage, Lachssilber Metallic on a E30 is a nice thing. So the look of a classic BMW.
