My first Bimmer was a 1986 524TD ... white w/blue interior. This was my first and only new car. It wasn't long after I bought it that someone came along and smashed into it, taking out the whole front end. I can still hear that BMW emblem clinking along the asphalt after it dislodged from the hood. I thought it was a total loss, but this tank of a car was able to be repaired and was put back into service. My understanding is that they only imported them for a couple of years.
