Info Needed..AGE DEMOGRAPHIC

[rsr racer]

I think a more responsible approach for a young businessman is in order and I highly recommend you consider this:

DO WHAT EVER THE F YOU WANT!!

Dr J's lesson (that would be me): let fear be the deciding factor in deliberation and you'll end up living in inescapable conditions. But pursue your appetites, follow your dreams, work hard and confront both real and imagined adversity and you'll live a life you wouldn't trade anything for.

Now go get the car that YOU LIKE.

:-)

I am 352 years old. The M4 isnt nearly as boyish as the cart my father gave me when we were serfs back in Russia.

Anyway:
1 - who cares?
2 - no, it isnt a boyish racer
3 - anyone who disagrees with #2 is an idiot
4 - my beer glass is empty - hello? Miss? Refill please?
5 - where was I?
6 - really? This is a thread? Where is that guy who complained when we had a happy/congratulatory 'yay F8x' thread? Is he whining about this one?
7 - i was out so missed 4 pages of this but i hope @lups has lit somebody up over this stuff
8 - unless you are in your 50s (or older and trying to look like you are in you 50s), dont get an M5/M6
9 - seriously, is this beer glass gonna fill itself???
10 - anyone wanna talk about 80s video games or german existentialism?

Is this where the Friday night crew come in and completely derail this thread? Because this is what we nolifers do for entertainment while everybody else is actually going out and doing stuff.

Lups... beer. Quick!

I had also entertained the idea of looking into a used Carrera S (991) or a used 4s. But Porsche offers too many options I would want, and the price would exceed that of a new M6, and that seemed crazy to me at this age. The M4 seems like the best bang for the buck, and I may as well take advantage of not having to own a 4 door until i really need it. Hanging up my dry cleaning isn't a make or break issue for buying a 4door vs a 2 door. What else did you consider before pulling the trigger? How did you spec your coupe?

Well, this thread has gone to hell - the three stooges are here - @myzmak, @WAH, and @Lups

I've been prowling the forums for a while now researching and gathering as much info as I can in order to make the best decision upon purchasing a new car in the coming weeks. Long story short, my 335is is going to be out of warranty in November of this year, and I am in the market for a new car. Originally, I was holding out to find a great deal on a slightly used F10 M5. Well, the other day, I test drove a YMB F82 M4 and completely fell in love. I left the test drive smiling like a 5 yr old with a new happy meal toy haha. Anyway, what I am looking for here is,

1) How old are you M4 owners? I cant find any age demographic info
2) Were any of you in the market for an m5/m6 before the M4?
3) Regrets? thoughts? comments?

I am 26 years old, and part owner of a restaurant, and my fear is that if I order an M4, I will feel like it isn't as much of a "mans car" as the M5 is (dumb, but we've all thought it). Last thing i want is to spend $80k and feel like its a boy racer. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!

Regards, and drive safe,

Brochop

I appreciate what you're trying to learn here. Please know I never do this, and that I hope the replies people have posted have been helpful:

Also... The M5 is a fast respectable comfortable car. I've used the term la-z-boy, but that isn't fair. It's a great car for many. In any event of what people think of it versus whatever else, you walked away from your test drive with a huge smile on your face and "in love." That should tell you all you need to know.

Finally... what is this restaurant and when are you buying us all dinner?

Well, I'm not close to drunk enough yet to blow this up, so I will contribute while I am functional...

If you can afford an M4 at 26, then fuck yeah! Go for it!!! It is not boy racer until you start adding some tacky mods. Do it right, and you have an enthusiast's lux-race car. I see the M5 as more of a rich man's trophy car (my opinion)... It is not a bad car by any means, but it is very different from the M4 and attracts a different type of driver. Pick a side and go with it.

My M4 is basically fully loaded minus the adaptive suspension and the CCB. The full leather was added when I saw a pic on this forum and it was breath taking. I considered a F-type S Jag, 911 and used 911 s, GTR used, New corvettes, 6 series, and M6. As for the f type, 911, amd 6 series...I have an issue I need to work on where I cant purchase something where I know theres a better model of out there...f type S, 911, M6...those so those were out of the competition. The other ones just didnt offer enough pros to make me want to buy them over the M4....and the M4 was alot more reasonable. By the time I spec'd the others with the options I would have to have, I was looking at 120k give or take a couple grand. The only hard part now is dealing with this ridiculous ordering and waiting system bmw has in order.

Lol, for some reason my brain was not "nexting" correctly and I thought sure you were going to say, "if you can afford an M4 at 26, then fuck you, and fuck yeah, etc". I'm drunk too though so you know.

Well that too... when I was 26 I was dreaming about the E46 M3, but there was no way I could get into one. So, OP... if you can afford one, FU you lucky SOB! Just do it!

Hey now, lets pretend I at least have a life! Oh hell... Why bother, I hang out with you old dudes.

[1stm3f80]

34 married with a kid, house, and X5.

PS all "boy racer" problems go away when you look in the rear view and see a 16 month old kid and a 15 yr old dog losing half it's hair in your back seat.

I am really young for 352. Most say I don't look or act a day past 340.

Now you kids GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN. Don't make me chase you in my M6!

I could believe the alleged age before you having an M6. We just are not cool enough to pull those through! Sorry Myz.
