If you have 40k saved and make basically 85-100K with no rent and no kids you can easily afford a used E9X M3. You could probably afford a used 458 Italia if you truly have no other expenses.

can you afford the car with the financial situation you are in? Yes
will you love the m3 after you buy it and be so happy you got it? Yes Is it a smart decision to buy a 40k m3 at your age? No Will you have a lot of fun though? yes not trying to tell you to "yolo", but honestly, it sounds like you are in a situation where you have a lot of discretionary income. You dont pay rent, you dont have another car payment, you didn't mention spending money on anything else. Id say buy a m3, you won't regret it and honestly your at the best age to own a sports coupe. I will say you should get a better deal, say an 09-10 for much less. Take the extra money saved from that and invest in a nice index/mutual fund. |

If you aren't planning on getting married anytime soon I really don't see a critical reason to buy a house asap (my .02). Buy the M, enjoy it, and continue to save (this is key)! I would reconsider blowing away all of your savings on a car though--you never spend all your savings.

^^ This is exactly my thoughts on the matter at hand.

I was in a similar situation as you when I was the same age but I was making even more. Being 35 now with a wife and kids, reflecting on that time, I did have a lot of fun! A LOT of fun in fact!! Having a new M car back then at that young age was an ego trip and a half. lol If I could do it all over again however I probably wouldn't get the M. Probably get something a lot cheaper but still fun. It was a very expensive car even with a full warranty. If I could do it again I would invest every cent I had instead. I can't stress how important that way of thinking is. But, as they say, hindsight is 20/20.
Understand, I definitely don't regret my decision. I'd just do things differently now at 35 looking back at 22. But who wouldn't!? lol
