What car did you have before your BMW?

I owned a few Civics and then a few more Honda Accords before having my first BMW.

My first bimmer was a 2000 BMW 530i E39 I bought in 8/2000 and then my current 2005 BMW 530i E60 which I bought in 5/2005.

I'm gonna take delivery of my 2011 BMW 535i M Sport F10 this December.

Basically, I had quite a big jump from a Honda Accord to a BMW 5er. I couldn't get a 3er because it was too small for me and my family.

What car did you drive before having your own BMW?
