said to myself one day "f*ck it. i want the american dream- debt." i have to be honest though. I do have a very good job and still live at home. 3 years ago i was single and didnt give a shit about anything other than my wants. fast forward and im i a serious relationship and since we're planning the next couple of steps together, i definitely would not have gotten it if i was to do it all over again.

ASIC Design Engineer. BMW = Justification for Higher Education. This isn't my first BMW. I've owned an e30 M3 and an E36 M3. I work hard and buy what I like. I let the other poor stiff lease them new and I buy them at a serious discount 2-3 years after new. |

I'm blessed that my dad loves bimmers and has a great job so he got me an '09 E90 as my first car. We got an extremely good deal on it. I paid a 1/5 of it and for insurance. Got the money from savings and YouTube advertising money

I resent your Accord comment, though. I'm still driving my 97 civic. Waiting to receive my offer letter before I buy my 335. |

I graduated, got a job in a oil trading company, a year later, my bonus paid for my 335i... The benefits of education I guess.

4 years in the Army (18 months in Iraq, talk about $$$$$).... Came out, used what I didnt blow on parties and other crap to place a down payment on the 335i. Father co-signed cuz my credits shitty. Making decent payments on my own, working a warehouse gig. Hoping to change careers soon, for the better.

I get treated like crap by salesmen all the time because I am a girl with tattoos, and I guess I don't "look like" someone who "should be" driving a "nice" car. Even though I make more than they do, they think it's OK to judge people who don't look like they work on Wall St. Screw 'em. As far as how I afford my car...Um, I have a job. I found the one I wanted, called my credit union, traded my car in for it and drove it home. I bought a used 335 with remaining warranty and low miles instead of the new one I considered getting first. I have a good interest rate with a low monthly payment and I pocket the savings (who am I kidding...I use them for mods and a trust fund for when my car is out of warranty lol)

Paid off for Audi.
Take car in for routine maintenance at Audi dealership. Service tech ran car into an 18-wheeler. Car was totaled. Dealership denied fault. Legal battle ensued. Test drove cars. Many cars. 5 months later, pick up insurance check at attorney's office. Bought 335.

College, Masters, job.. Pay off loans, save, meanwhile start an online love affair with the E46, then scout, scout, scout and find a killer deal 5 hours away on a used E46 with remaining warranty. Fast forward 4 years, sell said E46 for a good price because it's still in mint condition, then repeat scouting process, find another killer deal on an E92 cross-country, fast forward 1 yr, posting in this thread!!!
