I went car shopping with my 16 year old son today. Of course he was drawn to all the rice rockets but then we came to a 1990 525i and he loved it. It's a red 5-speed with a straight body for $6990. What do you all think about these cars for as a "first car?" I know how safe they are and even though the 525i isn't going to win any drag races it does have good mid-range powwer.
