Eh I had a 50% chance of getting it right...

Seems like a decent enough place. I ran into some of the guys from their Formula SAE team when I was in Berchtesgaden back in '01.

Yeah. After six semesters of math, endless amounts of free body diagrams, an exam every week for about 5 years, and an intimate relationship with your calculator, would you expect anything less?

whats with the large concentration of engineering types, esp MEs? is it because people who like to fix/tinker gravitate naturally to old bmws? :)

im a comp sci grad myself.. planning to do an mba next so i can bump myself up the career ladder :)

I'm in college, halfway through my B.Arts, after that i'll probably/hopefully be tacking on a few more years of learning for a Masters in architecture.

There definitely seems to be a high concentration of college student e30 drivers. Not really surprising though i suppose.

You know that "generally speaking" the more education you have, the more money you will make over a lifetime...of course that doesn't take into account other factors like parents money, dad turning over his business to you, etc. If memory serves me BS degress average like 35 a year and masters 68?

Went to college for Automotive. Completed gen-ed and good amount of the automotive unit. I made a choice not to work in the automotive industry. Started working for a communications company 6 years ago and never looked back. Would be nice to get a BS in anything. Ive been overlooked for promotion a few time on account of someone having a BS in BS. Get your educations guys.

Noticing the high number of college grads and advanced degrees, one could safely assume they could afford to drive something more expensive. For me, it's not about money. It's about a classy sports car that not alot of people have around here in NM and I can learn and work on it myself. If you do the math most of us could choose to drive something more expensive. I drive an e30 that is worth about 1/20th of my annual salary. My friends drive cars that are about 1/3 their annual salary. Too me, cars are tools, that's it. Have fun and drive on!
