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.

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. All vehicles that I have owned/leased include the following: 1946 Oldsmobile 2 Door Sedan Black 1940 Ford 2 Door Sedan Blue 1957 Mercury 2 Door Sedan Maroon 1953 Ford Sedan Blue 1929 Ford Model A Pick-Up Black 1959 Chevrolet Bel-Air Yellow 1964 Chevrolet Bel-Air Green 1968 Jaguar XKE 2+2 Tan 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Green 1973 MGB Roadster Red 1973 JaguarXKE V-12 2+2. Blue 1974 Audi LS 100 Green 1974 VW Rabbit Diesel Green 1974 Jaguar XJ6L Silver 1974 Porsche 914 2.0L Zambesi Green 1976 Volvo 265 GL Blue 1976 Volvo 242 DL White 1979 Alfa-Romeo Spider 2000 Silver 1979 Volvo 265 GL Maroon 1983 Audi 5000S Turbo Diesel Grey 1988 Ford Mustang Convertible Blue 1989 Acura Integra LS Red 1972 Porsche 911T Targa Black 1995 Ford Explorer Green 1995 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 2 Silver 1995 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 4 Silver 2000 VW Passat Wagon Silver 2000 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4 Arctic Silver 2003 Mercedes-Benz E500 Blue 2003 Mercedes-Benz E500 Blue (yes, 2 of them! When I bought the 1st one, MB said if I purchased Navi, which was not available at launch, it would be installed later for free. Then later they realized they could not do this and offered a few options, including giving a brand new MB E500 WITH Navi for no cost. I could not pass it up.) 2004 Lexus LS430 White 2005 Porsche 911 (997) Carrera S Seal Grey 2006 BMW 550i Silver Gray 2007 Lexus ES350 White 2013 Honda Accord Silver 2016 BMW 328i Imperial blue 2019 BMW X3 M40i Phytonic Blue Motorcycles 1980 Yamaha XS 650 Twin Red 1982 Suzuki GS 650 Four (Shafty) Maroon 1984 BMW R80ST, 797cc, (Shafty) Red Last edited by DD694; 08-19-2019 at 04:28 PM.. |

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.

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.

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. |

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.
