I nearly drove the whole decade in BMW Compacts, starting with an E36 316i that I bought in Jan 2000, and ended with a 325ti that I finally traded in for a 335d in 2009
What crimes had you committed? Harsh penalty :-)
The crime of being too poor to run M cars at the time!panholio said:

Look like you went down a similar path to me! Peugeot didn't sell a car I wanted to buy after the Rallye/ GTi 6. Must confess you couldn't get 2 different hot hatches - I think the S3 was about 300 kgs heavier! 1998 Peugeot 306 GTi-6

Passed my test October 28th 1999, passed my test in a 106 1.1 which was hard work. First car I got to drive on my own was a 1.6 Renault Megane of my mums, owned a couple of 1.2 Clios until I got to 21 and bought a new Clio 172 which in Autumn of 2003.
Loved that car, had it over two years and used it daily.
