Before I became an X-enthusiast, I was (and still am) an avid BMW enthusiast. My father got me started at a young age and I now race with BMWCCA and instruct for their high-performance driving events. Until I got my X, my BMW was running double duty as my track car and my daily driver. Now that I have another vehicle to drive to and from work and during the winter, I can reserve my E36 for the track and weekend fun.
