^ Parents helped them out most likely. Wish I got an M in my teens or early 20's. Couldn't afford one till later in my 20's. First M I bought I was 33, I'm 37 now.

Damn, I must be doing something wrong in life. We got 16 and 21 year old driving the same car. How do you guys afford a 80k car at that age?
I'm following my financial advisor's rule of thumb: Aim to spend less than 10% of your take-home pay on your car payment and less than 15% to 20% on car expenses overall.

31. Just moved over to a 2017 Mineral Grey F80 Competition via an F30 328i and an F87 M2 on Monday. I see what people mean when they say the OG M2 wasn't a real M car. I loved it, but they are just different animals.

49. Got tired of my motorcycles collecting dust because we are always running kids somewhere. Figured I would get more use from a high-performance sedan.

Try to take 3 kids golfing however and the GT3 falls flat . Loving the F80 after 5.5 years of driving it, on and off ramps still make me grin.

The car definitely was dangerous at first. I had some close calls that I learned from and I think the car has actually made me an overall better driver. It’s also good that I got my boy racer phase out of my system in the first 1-2 months of driving the car, and I’ve learned to take it easy when driving. (I also have it tuned to 530hp 😉 |

I had a 2016 before my 2018 M4, so I've been around for awhile now. After obnoxious burbles becoming more prominent, and intake/turbo spool sounds in 10mph parking lots...I've made my mind it's time to move on. |

If you love the car but hate the burbles get them tuned out....easy enough to do. You have what, 1 year of warranty left....
