Would you buy your child an M3 as a first car?

I talked to a guy in the auto business who told me about a wealthy lady looking to buy her son an M3. He's 15 years old with a learner's permit and already lining up serious, high-end, performance mods to be done immediately after picking it up at the dealership.

So I think to myself... the kid is a hotdog with no driving experience of any kind, money to burn... he's gonna kill himself!

The next day, as I'm looking to sell my M3, I think about my daughter who is getting her permit soon. She's a responsible honors student. Mellow. Good kid.

And then I think to myself... man, I really hate to see this M3 go. I should give her my M3 and keep it in the family... but then she'll kill herself!

Am I being over-protective about this idea? Money aside, would you get your kid a warp-capable car like an M3?
