A lot if younger guys who graduate from college don't have mAny commitments - can easily afford the loan for an m3.

Cost of borrowing is really low right now compared to early 90's. Money is cheap.

M3 Age and Occupation?

yessir - that was my point if i failed at making that clear lol...

there are a lot of people thinking us 20 somethings are not financially capable or responsible enough to handle it... but as someone above pointed out we also have less financial obligation than a lot of the more established family people may have so we can devote more money toward our fun.

Oh, I see what you did there...

llis · 11-16-2010, 05:33 PM

I would have considered the 550 (non-GT) x-drive if its ride was like the M3. The M3 suspension simply feels better. I got seasick driving the 550 ocean liner.

The Z4 is gone traded for the M3 why the Z4 was nice, however a GREAT disappointment on the two rear wheel cracks.
