and you think knowing cars is some sort of elite knowledge, cute.

how many bmws have you owned? ive owned 3 over 6 years and never had a single water pump fail.

just stop while you're a head you're new here don't make a bad name for your self now

How many bad things go wrong with these cars?

It's not that things are bad with BMW

Every car has shit that breaks

its just with BMW or any euro car pretty much, when shit breaks, it can get expensive as fuck real quick

and for a 17 year old, thats not practical

This is the only thing I will be having to pay for to be honest though. If shit breaks I will have a extra 5000$ in the bank.

This is the car im looking to get I dont know if its worth it though

would not get that, probably beat to shit

dont look at the 45's look at the 35's

oh god you live in seattle?

i want a bigger engine like a V8. Im going to put a Flowmaster on it probably not the loudest one cause im not a beaner but decently loud.

look if your heart is set on bmw... thing is if you're looking for reliable power in bmw and can't afford to buy brand new.. you dont want a high mileage one thats out of warranty and only a few years old
get a well maintained e36/46 M3 with low mileage with the 3.0 i6, pocket the rest in your bank account and hold some for just incase. if you leave it alone and respect the car you will have all the power u need right now, trust

something like this.

e36 2dr


e36 4 dr


e46

This is where you're not making a rational, intelligent decision.

At 17, you shouldn't put yourself in a situation where you're sinking money into a car. You shouldn't be blowing your savings on repairs.

It sounds like you're able to make pretty good money throughout the year, which is great, but make the adult decision now to save it for the future. It will be so much more beneficial to you than to waste your time impressing your high school boy friends and girls who quite frankly, don't care as much as you might think.

You keep changing your vision of what you want, from dodge to bmw, and you don't seem to know anything about cars.

Buying a car that gets poor gas mileage, that's expensive to insure, while being paired with potential, inevitable repair/maintenance costs, is going to drain your net worth for no real purpose. Most economy cars can still pass cars without a problem.
