Due to my advanced years (68) I been through a lot of cars, '50 Ford Coupe, '53 Ford 2 Dr, '56 Ford Convertable, '60 Austin Healy, '65 Sunbeam Super Tiger, '67 427 Cobra, '67 Ford 390 Mustang, '71 302 V8 Mercury Comet (Bill Strope modified), '74 VW Siricco, '75 Pontiac Gran Prix, '82 Toyota Celica GTS, '90 BMW 325iS, '91 Nissan 4X2 Pickup, '02 Toyota 4X4 V6 Pickup and '02 M3. The first two my parents bought for me. The rest I bought myself. I won't bore you with the list of motorcycles. Currently I have the Nissan (daily driver) the Toyota 4X4 (my Sunday go to meetin' truck) and the M3 (garage queen for the winter). Best of the bunch? I'd say the Celica by a wide margin. The worst?

Hopefully when I'm 68 I'll be able to throw down as killer as a list as you have. I'm also a bit troubled by how young a lot of the E46 M3 drivers are here. I can understand teens with E36 M3's, since they have dropped so rapidly in price... but E46 M3's haven't dipped below the 35k mark yet, really... and the new ones are still wheelbarrows full of money.

Steve I agree. Insurance must be outrageous for these guys. For those who have M3s at such a young age, what do you do for work? Do your parents foot the bill?

Do your parents foot the bill? don't know if I qualify for young M owner. but I got my first (89') M3 when I was at around 20-21 I guess...... besides my first car (86' 325es from cousin) that was brought from my parents, I paid all of my ///Ms since the first one. and I was working my a$$ off (still is....sadly....) for them, working 60-80hrs/week. :( but at the end, when you looking at those car, you'll tell yourself it's all well worth the hard work!! well, yes, insurence actually is worst than pay the monthly car payment for younger M driver. I remember my first 2 M3 (both E30), my annual insurence rate is about $2500-3000/year, especially after I wreck my first (89') M3 on the track!! man, I could lease for a little Miata for that money.... HDClown 12-09-2003, 09:08 PM Look at the locations of these 16-18yr olds with M3's. All of them California, and I feel pretty safe to say not a single one of them pay for them themselves in any way shape or form except for perhaps gas. Maybe when you hit 18 and are in college, working a job, living at home, and having no other bills, then you could afford to lease an M3 if you put all your cash to that. Lots of young teens do that because they don't know any better, but I'd guess anyone that young with an M3 had mom/pops pay for it. There are very FEW people who get lucky with business and can afford a 50k+ car on their own. I know a guy here locally who got into a business at the right time and he has an RS6 now (was almost 80k) and he's only 23 or so. Personally for me, at 21 I was on m yown paying all my own bills and got my Audi A4 1.8T. Now at 24 I OWN a house and am getting an M3. M3-4-Life310 12-09-2003, 11:19 PM ya i mean no one should be hating on the younger kids that are 16 or 17 with a E46 M3... i mean u would take one too if your mom or dad paid for it wouldnt you? i know i would... well all i gots to say is owning a E46 M3 at the age of 16 or 17 seems a bit much... i myself am waiting for my 17th b-day to get my first car and my first M3. it will of course not be a E46 but a E36 M3. i mean im happy with that but if my parents wanted to buy me a E46 M3 then i would be down with that! well anyways my parents are gonna help me on the costs but i still have to work and pull in the money. well my last thought is that i just hope that these 16 or 17 yr olds just arnt stuck up kids who think they are on top of everyone. power to the 16 and 17 yr olds who have a E46 M3!:buttrock :clap: just dont do anything stupid with your car now :laugh o ya and hi to all the people on bimmer forums for this is my first post in this forum chitown 12-09-2003, 11:37 PM If you own an M3 at age 17, or hell, even at 21, what happens when it's time for a new car? Where do you go from there? Is it unfair to assume that after the M3 is gone, one will want something even better? Or do these young owners assume their folks will buy them another when the time comes? I think having such a kick ass car at such a young age doesn't make one appreciate it as much unless one has worked for it. Shit, I'm 33 and have been driving the same car for almost nine years now- a '95 Integra, and it's only the second car I've owned. HDClown 12-09-2003, 11:40 PM It's the parents fault for giving their childen a car like an M3, or a CLK, or an Porsche, or anything of that caliber, at such a young age. NO 16 or 17 year old is mature enough to handle a car like that. Even if they've been to driving schools, there are things that simply don't come with anything but age and natural maturing that comes with growing up. If my parents got me a car like that, I would certainly take it, but i would probably be telling them how stupid they were for doing so, now that I am older. M3-4-Life310 12-09-2003, 11:49 PM all i gots to say is M3-4-Life and this car will always be mine! its my first car im a keep it :) as for when its time to purchase another car i can wait a long time :D Hit_Apex 12-09-2003, 11:58 PM An internet forum does not draw an accurate representation of M3 owners. Younger folks are more likely to be dick'n around on the internet regarding their cars. The younger kids here not only have M3's but $10k - $20k in mods and represent the small population that are 'born rich'. Read a thread earlier about one youngster's tough decision to either return his leased M3 and assume his dad's M5 with 12k miles or shop for something else. I'm not that old (33) but was born poor, have achieved greater academic success (MBA) and wealth than anyone else in my family. I just bought my dad a 98 Accord V6 because his 84 Dodge Daytona broke down (used to take me to school in a 72 pinto). Driving my M3 brings me greater pleasure than most contributing to this thread will ever know. HDClown 12-10-2003, 12:01 AM I hear ya Hit Apex.. It seems that the younger drivers (of any high dollar car) always come out of the woodworks when someone asks about how old everyone is. They want to show everyone that they are young and drive an expensive car. It happens on every forum, and I read a bunch too fullfil my car habit. M3-4-Life310 12-10-2003, 12:34 AM i dunno wat to say... i think a E36 M3 is fine but when it steps up to a E46 M3... you know its a rich kid. a E36 M3 isnt that expensive if u are puttin most if not all of your money into it. i see your guys views from being 16 or 17 and owning a E46 M3... i mean i feel the same way even though im young also but hey life isnt fair. not all of us were blessed with rich parents. dont worry about whatother people are driving just worry bout yourself :) BTW you all have awesome M3's and anyone in the AZ area on these forums? if so IM me :buttrock Steve@Edge 12-10-2003, 12:44 AM I was waiting for this debate to get fired up. Driving my M3 brings me greater pleasure than most contributing to this thread will ever know. I imagine you will fall back on your disclaimer that "MOST contributing" does not include all, but I still think thats a bit pretentious. Ownership of the car deffinetely gives one a better sense of value and responsibility for a car, but by no means does it mean you will pull more DRIVING pleasure or be any better of a driver. I don't agree with parents buying their kids cars of this calibre and expense purely because a very large percentage of young people wreck cars and die in fast cars. Now I know a few of you 16 year olds are going to say "M3s are safer M3s are easier to drive fast boohoo!" but thats BS and we all know it... kids die in fast cars... faster. And I agree with the argument that "where do you go from here?" That's a good point and it bears consideration on the kids part when they pic a car. There are plenty (LOTS lately) of sub-20k dollar cars that can satisfy a teens urge to kill themselves quickly, like the SRT-4 or even the RSX-S (i know, a bit above 20k, eh?). ya i mean no one should be hating on the younger kids that are 16 or 17 with a E46 M3... i mean u would take one too if your mom or dad paid for it wouldnt you? The term "hatin'" gets me everytime, since it implies that jealousy is the primary motive to someones malcontent. Lots of this isn't jealousy... lots of this is just plain common sense. These people don't LOATHE young drivers for owning such cars, they just recognize that it isn't the wisest thing and even the most mature and well-headed kids will take bad lessons from recieving so much so easilly. That being said, there is some hipocrisy in my post, as I myself was greatly helped by my parents to acquire my current car... a lot of money came out of pocket, but it wouldn't have been possible without my parents. And sometimes I am conscious that even this nearly-decade old car is still "too nice" for a kid of my age... 19... 20 in february. I guess what I am trying to say that in this argument its not wise for the younger side to blatantly brag about the quality of automobile they recieved at a young age and with little imput (which, by no means am I acusing anyone in this thread of doing), and I don't think its very kind for the older, more financially benefited members to hold these kids "luck" and privledge over their heads.

I was against my sister who brought a brand new 03' Boxster for her son's 22 birthday present!! (oh, she's buying him a Cartier Roadster watch for this x'mas!!) what happened? he never appreicate the car at all but do proud to be a Prosche owner for his age! he's not a mean kid or anything like that. in fact, he's a very nice kid. but still, he'll never learn what's the value of anything is if my sister keep buying him all the stuffs..... as his uncle, I really don't want to see this......:dunno m3urthy 12-10-2003, 06:12 AM Well I guess Ill chime in here. Basic (and useless) facts- my first car was a 95 318i (i love this car so much its not even funny). Got my M3 this April. btw, im 18. The way I see it is that younger people these days can't seem to wait to grow up. We want to feel old and well... established like our parents who, im assuming, are sucessful. I do agree that this calibar of vehicle should be off limits to the daily use of younger people, myself included, but attacking their parents for thier decision to aquire such a car for thier children is unqualified. We all express our love in different ways. Some parents like to see a smile on their childrens faces and if that means an M3 for them then thats what it'll be. In Orange County, I see kids in nice cars like clouds in the air- they are just everywhere. Some kids really have no appreciation for money and the hard work that goes along with getting it. Case in point- my best friend who dumped his 2002 IS 300 for a 2003 330ci because every other kid at our former highschool got that car. Anothe example is my buddy Matt, who just bought a Porsche 944T with his own money from working at Jamba Juice these last two years. Some kids get it and some kids dont. Some kids will crash their M3 and within a few weeks, get another one. Some parents take away the keys to their kids cars if they even get a parking ticket. Some parents get it, some just dont. In my situation this is how I see it. I work 3 jobs, college being one of them. I have 14 hour days at school and then work on my free days and weekends. I've been doing this since Highschool. I was saving up for a Mitsu 3000GT VR-4 or an E36 M3. The second i saved up 8k i went car shopping with my father. We tested many E36s in A+ condition and i was ready to commit. He insisted on a new car and told me to save up for one more year or so. I did just that. Had enough to give my father a 10k certified check to be used as a downpayment. He matched this for a total of 20ks. Got the M3. My monthly income covers enough to pay for 3/4 of the payment. Now that im in college i never drive the M3. Dad has fun with it at home. I guess hes having more fun with it knowing im paying for most of it. Oh well, i owe him like a trillion dollars for the first 17 years of my life. themadhatter 12-10-2003, 07:56 AM something I've noticed about many younger car owners - 99% of them are "car poor". ie they work for their car and that's about it. it also goes with that other unique occurance; the $5,000 wheels riding on $39 tires.

I am now 17 (soon to be 18) and every time I talk about wanting more power, my friends, *cough* mike *cough* who get $1800+ for their birthdays while i get a generous $50, keep telling me to blow all my money on my car. There is a reason why it is called a "SAVINGS" account. I worked my ass off for 3 years and i am not about to blow it all on a turbo kit. rule of thumb 50% of your check goes to savings. anyways... if you have parents who will give you everything, good for you. The problem is when the kids become spoiled and do not understand the value of money. I am very happy as to my parents' giving me their 91 535i when they bought a new car for themselves.

Steve JCBMW325i 12-10-2003, 02:04 PM When I first open this I couldn't believe this shit. Don't take thing for granted. Always remember that. I wasn't poor but my brother gave me his 95 Dodge Shadow. I then blew the trans twice on that car. My parents decided to buy a 95 Honda Prelude for 12,000 back in 98. I just sold that car two months ago for $2400 and bought a 93 325i for $2500. I was tired of the rice crap. On the other hand I live with two roomies, got two seadoo HX's, four race production YSR motorcycles, and my pride and joy a 2002 Harley Davidson F-150. I did all this working for the goverment for two years. But I live pay check to pay check and it sucks. I'm think about tradeding the truck and buying a use E46 M3 and sell my 325i and buy an old truck. This BMW stuff is an itch I can't stop. DaveLSB///M3 12-10-2003, 02:37 PM this thread is comical.

If so be sure to tell me.....:boid: INVESTMENT!? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Dammit, if I got inheritance money from a loved one there is no way in HELL that I would blow it on a CAR. My parents, grandparents and relatives have saved their money their ENTIRE LIVES, and if I'm going to blow it all on cars... what kind of son/grandson/nephew would I be. A car is NOT an investment... investments make MONEY little man...

Steve steve, how do you know that he doesn't already have investments? how is it your business what he does with his money anyways? he might be worth millions you don't know that. Maybe his grandma told him to spend it on a car. how the hell do you know? I don't see why it's your business to tell him how to spend his money. themadhatter 12-10-2003, 06:36 PM last time - tone it down and drop the attitudes. :pityfool: Steve@Edge 12-10-2003, 08:00 PM Originally posted by M3Style95 steve, how do you know that he doesn't already have investments? how is it your business what he does with his money anyways? he might be worth millions you don't know that.

I'm done with this thread. Sorry if I offended anyone, but this whole topic pisses me off. It was stupid of me to open my mouth in the first place. Steve einhander 12-10-2003, 08:15 PM You spent your grandmother's hardearned money on an E46 M3? That's pretty cool actually and I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money, afterall, whatever makes you happy... But an M3 is not an investment. Its losing money everyday. A sum of money that size would have been better spent had you opened an IRA or something, or reinvested it. I've inherited a good amount of money in the past few years and the last thing I thought to do with it was go out and spend it. Different priorities I suppose. I'd rather be able to purchase a nice place to live out of law school and have a sizable nest egg in the makings. But then again, what is the point of having money if you're not going to spend it? Poop. M3-4-Life310 12-10-2003, 08:41 PM maybe he loves the car that much to spend all of that money on a M3?who knows?!?!?! everyone has a passion for something maybe he just wanted that M3 that bad! i dont care what he does with his money though but if someone gave me money i would have boughten me a E36 M3 and turbo charged it!:evil2 that would have been enough for me :alright much love too all on the forums MillertimeM3 12-10-2003, 09:26 PM I never said thats all the money she left .... plus I had to buy somethin or i would have ended up with 10g's in taxes so y not? and u know what i dont kno y im arguing about it anyway its my money and i decide how much pussy i want... this is a bimmer forum and if u are so poor and cant afford a BMW theres other car forums u know... thanx dave your car is sick!
