I didn't get a car til I was 18, it was a four cylinder Accord (VTEC yo!) but if I had something fast I know I would have killed myself. 10 years later I finally got an M3, and I'm not insane like I was back then but it's haaaaaard not to get on the throttle. You can be going 70 on the freeway, downshift and punch it to pass someone and then you look down and you're going 110. Everyday I say to myself okay I'm gonna take it easy today and just cruise. Then I get in my car and I'm flying all over the place with the engine screaming and a wicked grin from ear to ear. In i-drive you can set a chime to go off whenever you pass a certain speed. This might be a good idea for a while?
Anyway drive safely! Friends are really the most dangerous thing about having a car like this... they will want you to race everything from minivans to helicopters.
Tip of the day - don't slam your brakes with someone behind you, you will get hit. This is true pretty often actually, but moreso in an M3.
