Hello again guys, I'm here just clear up a few things:

Starting salaries among all sources: 110-135k

As for my previous comment on "huge salary" I meant that 115k is pretty much -huge- (for me) in PR, where living expenses and pretty much everything else is cheaper than in the US, except for cars.

In PR, you can get a luxurious apartment with ocean view/beach access for less than 2.5k a month.

If you separate, let's say 1.5k a month for a car, including insurance, food and other immediate expenses, let's say it totals to 5-6k monthly.

6k a month, in one year is 72k, so if my job left me 115k, that's a surplus annually of 43,000 for everything else. Which is pretty nice, if simply starting out.

Anywho, salaries are VERY relative. In Texas, earning 60,000 a year is the equivalent of 100k in San Francisco, due to higher living expenses. In PR, I expect less than 115k which reinforces my "wait some years" decision.

All I can hope for is that long term reviews on 2015 M3/M4s turn out positive in 2-3 years, I do not want to be paying so much on a car this early in life, need to travel the world with the wife and like many have said, need to save for unexpected situations.

In any case, I can always buy the 435i the next year, and get "used" to the BMW experience, as an owner of one. And then, with proper savings, jump to the M3/M4 and bask in the upgraded glory!
