Great story man. Now your boy's got a nice looking set of wheels too! Just like papa.

MiloMia · 02-05-2013, 08:53 PM

wish your son the best.

BIGW0RM · 02-05-2013, 09:01 PM

You're a good dad.

AlteredBe4st · 02-05-2013, 09:02 PM

God makes all things possible, my heart goes out to you and your family. YOLO! Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing! Wish you and your family the best!

And1M3 · 02-05-2013, 09:25 PM

Thanks for sharing your life story. This one of the best thread so far. Nothing is more important then family first. Hope your son enjoy his new wheels.

Smokey · 02-05-2013, 09:55 PM

Congrats and you're a great dad

Thanks for helping to remind us of where our priorities should be.

Best wishes to you, your son and family.

sensi09 · 02-05-2013, 10:28 PM

Great story! Thanks for sharing.

And I agree that the M3 like any car loses some of the fun factor or specialness with the daily grind.

exmowner · 02-05-2013, 10:37 PM

What a cute kid! Wish you and your family the best... wont be long until he will be asking you for the 2021 m4 ! lol

IMG · 02-05-2013, 10:42 PM

What a great story my friend,YOU ARE A GREAT FATHER and im sure your boy appreciates what you have done.Wish you guys all the beast.Congrats on the new car and enjoy in good health Bro !

Jbook · 02-05-2013, 10:54 PM

Amazing story from someone that is very clearly a great person. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Even as car guys, we all know there are things that are much much more important than them.

BaLLzZz · 02-06-2013, 12:03 AM

Great Father. I'm sure if he had to make that choice one day he would follow in his fathers footsteps. In the case of the car you still have an ///M and your boy has a strength builder! Sounds like a win to me in every direction.
God Bless you and your Family.

Its_lobelt · 02-06-2013, 12:22 AM

Great story man. Good luck to your kid in his life.

roastbeef · 02-06-2013, 01:43 AM

very nice. glad things worked out for you.

carchrism5 · 02-06-2013, 06:15 AM

This is by far one of the best threads I have ever seen on here, to many of us we think our cars are some of the most important things because we don't have kids and reading something like this really keeps everyone in check. Family is by far more important than any object you can buy. I wish your family the best and many more cars will come and go, but what you have done for your son will last a lifetime.

Motor on! And if you ever miss your 1M and want to drive one you are more than welcome to take mine out if you are any bit local.

jmgM3 · 02-06-2013, 09:01 AM

Fantastic story. We're all guilty of taking simple things for granted.
Like others have said, no car is worth your son's health.
