Even a 335 is way too much for a kid and probably almost worse than an m3 given the ability to reach its full power much easier than an m3.

Agree completely. Used 128i, used A4, etc. are the perfect kind of car for a kid who comes from affluence, for all the reasons you mentioned. Moderation is the key here. Extravagance is harmful, deprivation is unnecessary.
