MY 2005 325it 5spd
My love for BMW's goes back much further than this wagon and I have no clue where my love for wagons comes from.
The first one was called Helga. She was what came from deciding that I wanted to drift again but knowing that I no longer was interested in the S chassis or the ae86. I owned and drifted/ raced both but was ready to re-invent myself as a driver.
The next was the 89 535i. I picked this one up for $700 and it needed a clutch and a tune up. This car was meant to be the daily driver to the track e36. This one needs a head now but we still own it in hopes that one day my dad and I will revive it.
All the while looking for a wagon. I still can't explain that part. But I do know that the best part about this car is absolutely the massive space behind me with the enjoyment of driving a 5spd car. Now I dont thrash on it but I dont drive it like an old lady either. It doesnt leak (shocking at 185,000 miles) always starts, gets me about 24mpg and can drag a 3 day camping setup for 2 families.
This car has taken my Girlfriend on some wonderful adventures and I hope for many more. As long as I can keep it up this car is here to stay as my daily, project,adventure, and labor of love.
