48 for my first M, but have had a ton of other performance cars in the past (built American muscle cars, Audi S's, VW R's, Mercedes AMG, just not M's).

I'm turning 30 in January and wanted to buy myself a birthday present - in no way is this a midlife crisis deal. I just really love the bodystyle of the current M3s and have always wanted to own/drive one. I work hard for my money and am not a trust fund baby.

Looking to gather some insight across the forum on the age range everyone purchased their first M3. Was it too early/late? If you bought one early on in life, if you had the chance to do it again, would you have waited? Thanks in advance you beautiful people.

It's the only BMW I would ever buy.

F80 M3


it's a guilt free purchase and I can comfortably afford the car.

The car has exceeded my expectations!
