I just went over 30 years of 02 ownership this year, but I'm on my 5th 02 now. First was a 75 Euro spec 1802, second and third were 74 02's, 4th and current are 74 tii. I like square tail light cars, especially with Euro bumper conversion. I'm such a sick puppy I've got into E3's and E30's as well. I've managed to cure my sickness some by selling my Euro spec E12 & E28 in the past year.

You might get her a pair of kidneys for your anniversary

Congratulations.

25 years with my Touring, and almost 40 years with '02s.

The newest car that I have owned (not counting the Wife's) was a '78 525.

Congratulations. I bought my first 2002 in June 1978. Had a few since then.

Congrats! I can think of worse things than living in Bozeman with an '02!

Congrats, and Happy Birthday. I'm going on 18 years of ownership this summer of my '67 1600 "Red". Though, it's been in my life since I was 13. which makes a total of 23 years. I'm 36 now....

My parents still have the '72 Tii they bought new. That would be 40 years next Feb.

Happy birthday. I bought my first one in 1982, 4 main drivers over the years with a few years off for Japanese car therapy.

I just drove my 73 around Flat Head lake to Glacier National Park. Stayed in White Fish and then went down to Missoula. Big Sky Country for sure. Montana is a beautifull state.

Saw a clean looking e21 / 320i driving in Western Montana and we gave each other the thumbs up. Saw very few BMWs at all the rest of the time.

Congrats! That's a long time to keep one car and a long time to be around 02s. I bought my first one back in 1991 when I was 12, a '72 Tii that was going to be a restoration project with my dad. Unfortunetly that car was far too rusted and ended up a parts car. I'm on my fifth 02 now and I've had a number of parts cars too in the 20 years since then.

Hey congrats! Must be real cool to own a car for that long!

I've been driving my Chamonix '75 for 30 yrs. now. It's got 367K miles, with many of the original parts, including original paint.
