Hope you're a responsible teen. Know of too many who have wrapped their potent toys around a tree or a pole, sometimes with fatal results. I'd NEVER buy my teens a car like that even if I was a zillionaire, but as a teen, I'd have accepted it in a heartbeat too, so can't blame you. Just be careful man, and resist the urge to show off, do stupid things like drinking and driving, etc. We want you safe. Take care.

imballin2day · 06-01-2009, 12:18 AM

Wow man. Congrats on the car. I feel your happiness. Becareful though, the flaming will begin soon.

Welcome to the club! It's not really flaming, it's just people being concerned. Statistics don't lie.

Damn, I'm real jealous! For my college graduation gift, I was allowed to keep the family Camry. Congrats!

ccristM3 · 06-01-2009, 12:40 AM

MrAdams · 06-01-2009, 12:55 AM

cool man have fun and be safe! pics or

!!!!! I got a hundred bucks for my grad from High School. damn mexican parents...

and yes hope your flame suit is new. mines pretty burnt I need a new one... heads up!

r53s65e90 · 06-01-2009, 01:07 AM

OP, you are the luckiest high school grad!! Enjoy your car. Your parents are crazy but you should not worry about that

.

Try keep your young fervor in check and plz try hard to prove WRONG everybody who is rolling their eyes right now about a high school kid getting an M3.

Since money does not seem to be a problem, please convince your folks to send you to the teen driver clinic of BMWCCA and a lot of track days. This will teach you the ways of your new car and make you a better daily driver by providing an outlet for your need for speed.

In general it is not a good idea to drive such a car at this age but now you have it. So do the absolute best with it and enjoy it thoroughly and wisely.

Congrats OP! That's an amazing gift and it's clear that you appreciate it so I'm real happy for you, but also crazy jealous. I'd have loved to have this car in college!

+1 on the BMW CCA driving schools. The experience is helpful in determining how much you don't know about driving

And you get to test out your car in a safe environment.
