On a side note - I would recommend the N52 engine to you instead. Will still have as much pep or more than your Mini ever had and is nearly bullet proof. Anyone who isn't a car guy will have no idea the difference between the 335 and the 328.

The driver behind the wheel would notice when trying to overtake impressing the ladies.

If you think "overtaking in an automobile" is going to 'impress the ladies', then my friend - you have an enormous amount to learn about women.

99% of women don't give 2 shits about a fast car. It's like designer clothes, they only know the names.

Most chicks do that anyways from my experience, no car needed. You want to cast the largest net, not the 1% smallest one

Unless you have a real high end car, most women will not care. Also, if a chick is with you because of your car, have fun with that materialistic whore. She leave you for the next guy with more...displacement

My girl digs the Cooper and I talk to her non stop about my next car. She must think I'm crazy cause it's all I ever talk about

Little update: listed the Cooper and got a potential buyer interested a day later. In contact with a seller who's got a manual e93 335i and hopefully going up to test drive today (if the weather prevails, supposedly getting 8 inches

). Hopefully the manual lives up to my expectations, can't wait!

Have fun driving a fast car slow. Been there done that.
I decided to drive a slow car fast. That way I get to enjoy rowing through the gears...
I'd keep the mini and invest the rest when the time is right, either education or the market.
Don't waste your money on a 10 year old BMW at age 17. You'll be selling it in 6 months...it'll eat through your account so fast your head will spin.

NEVER buy a car for chicks. Buy a car for yourself. I’d say buy an e36 3 series that’s in good condition. Most likely all the major work has already been fixed over 100k miles. Parts are much cheaper and so are mods. Just make sure it’s not rusting away and has no major issues with it. Stay frugal, stay humble, stay focused and stay patient. Don’t settle for the 335. Get an M series down the road. Not worth going broke over
