we shit gold nuggets.

[._.]

Self control, patience and a well paying job. I bought my car when I did not have kids (4 doors just in case), modding was a bit easier then. Then the twins came around, now I rely on Christmas and my birthday for mods. Everything else is for my daughters.

Just going to throw this out there...

This thread is so relative in nature that its really making certain folks (who are bitching about this guy's parents' decision to buy him a car and mods for making good choices) look like they are of a socioeconomic status that I'd choose not to publicize. In my opinion, there's less to respect about someone who spends a disproportionate amount of their income on a car and mods above their class (enthusiast or not) than someone who spends a negligible fraction of their salary to provide their child with a reward for behavior that will turn into a self-rewarding career a few years down the road.

But we digress... This thread was going to ruffle feelings from the onset.

Buy used from rich people :P

By putting in 14 hour days at the office, and using specials and coupons when ordering hookers, anyone else out there?

Rich is relative, most "kids" whose parents buy them bimmers probably don't consider themselves rich. Compared to some people in the world, the poorest American is rich. I am middle of middle class and to many, like the 85% of lower earners say people in my income bracket are rich. I don't think so, my lifestyle has always adjusted to my income, never beyond it and that allows me to afford some nice things and keep my wife at home with our kid.

Be fiscally responsible. Budget and save up for extras. While saving, educate yourself on what you want because you may find out you prefer something else. We all have a BMW, to the people who can only afford Hyundai's, we are rich, but rich people buy them too (lord knows why) so be respectful of everyone.

I plan on buying my kid a bimmer someday, probably a used e90 or f30 cause they will be old by then and the 600hp cars of tomorrow will make a 335 look slow.

Discount hookers can give you mods you don't want, and may not be able to remove.

well said.

One thing to consider when buying mods is how it will affect the resale value, and how easy it will be to sell the mods when you're done with them.

Nicely said I liked the way you put it, very unbiased.

Thanks, it may come off a bit too koombaya for some but I didn't grow up with a lot of money and it didn't make me mad when friends parents bought them nice cars. It was a motivation to earn those things for myself and I had fun in the beaters I owned before my bimmers.

We are lucky enough to have a bimmer already.

How do we afford mods? Just the same way we could afford the car.

In my home country, there are some people who say "Cover yourself as far as the blanket can reach" but I'd rather say "let's weave a blanket large enough to cover ourself as much as we want". SO basically, more work to do what we want to do.

[bplewis24]

Not sure why people keep saying it was "well said." Rewarding a kid for not spending money on drugs with a BMW sets a really high reward for a really low bar. Keep rationalizing it all you want, but it doesn't change what it is.

[thenewrick]

I think BMW are good 1st car. They're pretty safe all around.

Work! But if i quit playing golf at $65 a day and buying clubs and golf shoes and golf clothes I could have just bought the dame M3 lol
