ABSOLUTELY NOT if you love your child. Just watched a report this morning showing teens and their distracted driving habits (they have a lot more distractions between Tweets, IM, FB updates, etc. all behind the wheel.) We may think our kids are responsible when we're with them but the report I saw this morning shows how even the best kids behavior changes for the worst when a parent isn't in the car and degrades much further if you add another teen in the car.

A M3 is a recipe for disaster - primarily to the health of the child and those around him/her and secondarily to your financial health (you'd be shocked at the size of the lawsuit you're going to face when your teen plows into someone in a BMW and a M3 no less!)

My son is 15 now and we'll be looking for a safe reliable barely-fast-enough-to-get-out-of-its-own-way Volvo. He wants an older S40 and I'm thinking much older brick - 240!
