A couple of ya seem to be having a hard time wrapping your mind around a 55 year old woman driving an M3. Or even thinking that I would would know what one is.

I think it is absolutely amazing that over 27% of M3 drivers are age 16-25!?!? I was still in school and not in any position to buy a $70k car. I was buzzing around my university in a Honda Civic Si(loved that car). Bought my first BMW(318Ti Mtech package) at 26, first house at 28 and then my first ///M a year later. The 16-25 crowd must being doing something right, good for you!

My insurance rate isn't terrible, actually. It is only $400/yr more than what I paid to be insured for my previous car (a 4-cylinder toyota). And it's cheaper than my monthly parking rate! Insurance rates are not necessarily sky-high for under-25 drivers - a lot of it has to do with prior record, personal background, etc. But I absolutely agree, I'm shocked how many //M3 owners there are here under the age of 25. My dealer said I was one of the youngest, as far as purchasing an //M3 is concerned. |

But this also partly why: Quote:
I'm 24 and bought my first house when I was 22. I'm not buying myself a M3 until I have at least half a million in the bank. It's a rather arbitrary amount and not a lot of money to some, but it will be a nice reward for myself. I started out with nothing. Right now the best reward is the satisfaction from the hard work that I'm putting in (usually 70 hours per week). If a parent buys their kid a nice car, that's fine, as long as they recognize that it's their parents' money and they have achieved absolutely nothing. I don't get the people who can't afford it and drive it around to project 'status'. If one wants to live at home with their parents to afford a M3, that's their own business. It's just plain sad from my POV. |

Same here man, same here. I wake up for work 6 days a week at 3:30am, begin my work day at 4:00am, and don't leave work till 4:00pm, so I know what you mean. But like you, I got to bed satisfied and I sleep well!
My moto; Work hard, play hard, give hard (bless others as much as you can). You're absolutely right. Most people only see the glory, but they don't know the story.

I think its turned in to a "Look how good I am" thread .
To those who say the young people with M3s must be doing something right, keep in mind they could be doing something, very, very wrong, haha. Signing your life away is rarely a good investment. I'm interested to see that there are a number of people here who bought an M3 prior to buying a house. I wonder how much of that has to do with where you live. For example, an M3 in small town USA would be one hell of a down payment on a 3000sqft house. An M3 in NYC, not the case.

I was thinking that was well, but I figured I'd give the benefit of the doubt. I wonder what percentage of their income some of these guys are spending on their cars.

I hear what you're saying though. I felt guilty pulling a substantial chunk of cash out of my investment "fun" money account literally the week before sh!t hit the fan in October 2008 to put down on the M3. Losing half of the rest of the money in that account over the next 6 months cured that feeling.
