I started with BG2, which took me a little while to get into, but then quickly became one of the greatest games I've ever played. Thirsty for more, I hunted down as many Infinity Engine games from Bioware as I could (Icewind Dale, BG1+ToTSC, Planescape Torment etc) but sadly (with the possible exception of PS:T) none could hold a candle to BG2 (I'd clearly been spoiled by it!). I'd therefore recommend running through BG1 first to familiarise yourself with the interface and game rules before going through BG2, otherwise BG1 feels slightly disappointing to play afterwards!
