I make $25/ hr and the wifey makes close to $33 /hr. We both work very hard for the things we have and we know how to appreciate them. I paid off my previous car which I traded it in for 12k and put 3k cash..I still financed 45k..but my interest is really low..
I'm probably one of the few here that did not pay cash for the M3.

That's still a very expensive car for someone who makes $25 per hour. I make much more than that and don't feel like I make enough to buy a brand new M3.

I don't think "sucks" is really the correct word. Its more about reality, and if you are spending more on a car than you make in a year, you are certainly neglecting other financial responsiblities and in the long run that always catches up to people.

Ok, ur math is off my friend..

I paid in the low 60k for it. Traded my old vehicle for 12k and put down 3k cash down. I make 45k a year. I financed around 45k with a very very low interest.. How is that 3x my salary??

Your assumption is wrong...The only debt that we have is our house and the m3. Everything else is montly bills. No credit cards. ..
I am 24yrs old and own a 2013 m3..there is nothing neglected about my financial responsabilities..

You're not doing our generation any favors with the text-message spelling

However, that first sentence leads me to believe you're on the red team, so I'll let it slide

What he said was his salary would be 3x your salary, not your car was 3x your salary.

You guys generalize and analyze way too much. Three times your salary this......large down payment that.....! Everybody walks in different shoes, lives a different lifestyle, has a different cost of living, has different priorities, very few to no obligations, etc. There are no hard and fast rules to car ownership. Geez!
