28 first brand new BMW(X3), had some older M3s before and a 328i

[FreeMarcal]

30 y/o here -- first *new* BMW purchased this year.

[_Ascension_]

Younger; my M40i will be my first new BMW at 36, but my fifth BMW overall, first one at 27.

If 56 is the median age, the split should be equal above/below. But, the age on the forum probably skews younger, but not as much as some might think. Us aging baby boomers were the ones building computers in the garage after all.

[daveinmass]

Lots older chronologically - lots younger in attitude....

[Fuzz3D]

I can't vote, as I'm right on the median. Upgraded from my aging 'Yoda to a '19 X3 M40i in January at the ripe (but not old) age of 56. What a difference 19 years of technological advancements makes.

[Barrancos]

First when 45, now i am 47

I picked up my 2019 BMW X3 M40i the day before my 79th birthday in April 2019.

My first sports car was a 1968 Jaguar XKE 2+2 in 1970. It was 18 months old when I bought from a local Jaguar dealer and it had 18,000 miles on it. I paid $3,400! Had it for about 3 years, when I finally blew the clutch. I didn't have the cash for the repairs, which were considerable, so foolishly traded it on a brand new 1973 MGB roadster - one of the worst cars I ever owned.

1946 Oldsmobile 2 Door Sedan Black
1940 Ford 2 Door Sedan Blue

What a history! Your perspective driving the M40i must be quite unique.

[JWright82]

Younger, 37, 5th BMW, 2nd new one (both for the wife, F25 X3 35i and the M40). We currently have two in the garage, her M40 and my E46 M3.

[MADBMWX5MC]

First when 48; now 56

[Slashers 28th/61st]

Median age 56....... Put a 19 in front of that, and that was the year I arrived on 'planet earth' .....First Bimmer & wished I'd got one years back

[vpatel867]

30 first 535 m sport. second x3 m40i at 32.

[nakamuru]

Im 39 but look like 24 and feel like 22. I do graphics for work. I didnt know there is averrage age . Is this for bmw in general or x3? So people probally look at me like im borrowinf dads car or something

[Crypto2k3]

First bmw (2019 X3 m40i) at 39. Lots of cheaper cars before this one! I'm a month into the m40i and I think it's a lot less fun to drive than my Subaru WRX but definitely way more refined. I miss the manual transmission more than I thought I would.

[BuddhaTB]

Bought my first BMW, the X3, at 37.

[gugin]

Younger. 46. With the M40i, I think I am hooked. I love the car. Perfect blend of fun driving and family utility for me. It will be very difficult for me to get anything else but similar M-based X3s down the road, unless BMW discontinues that model or royally messes it up.

[iManu]

Wow the median age is a little higher than I expected. I wonder what's the median age for Benz.
I got my first bmw at 25 I think. I got the X3m40i for my 28th birthday, a gift from me to me haha 😂should've gotten a revenue/rental property tho. All my friends call me Papa Manu because I always had sportier cars and now I got a family SAV. Now the teachers don't look at me weird when I go pick up on rare occasions the kids of my best friend. Sometimes a few mothers will give me the weird look because the cold start makes a lot of noise with the DP.

[b.guggenmos]

Younger barely! I ordered my X3M40I at 55 years old and it came in a couple weeks before turning 56. Interesting thread. This is my first BMW.

[rem40i]

Bought my first BMW (X3 M40i) at 34.

[khaug]

Much Older! 76.
