Close, but not quite. It's actually a BMW 335i Sedan. The M3 that I looked at was too expensive. My mother set a limit of $55,000, and the M3 was $61,000. The 335i has almost as much power as the M3, but it can haul more people. So, for me, it was the better choice. Besides, I barely made the price limit with the tax and title, but I did!

I LOVE MY CAR!!!

For That much you could have gotten a BMW M5 2000-2003 basicly any color you could find, and only spend in the $40,000 range.

It would be used, under 50,000 miles but you'd know the price would stick at that point for a while. And you'd get alot of looks

I do realize that, but I wanted an automatic because I'm not the biggest fan of shifting gears all the time, not after what I had to go through one day while sitting in traffic. Besides, I LOVE that brand new car smell.

I do too but I hate that new Car drop, if you get it.

I understand.

I'm just the kind of guy that really doesnt care how old something is, as long as it's the best I can get.

I could never bring myself to lose money on a car that I know would not be a collectors Item.

But what kind of options did you get?

Everything except the sunshades. I hate them with a passion!!!! That's why I went with the red one, it had the sport package, and the blue one didn't.

Is there Idrive? I think that's the reason my uncle didn't buy a new 7-series when his got "old".

Yes. It takes some getting used too, but after you use it for a few weeks, you don't even think about it.

I think he'll have more fun with the Command System. But I used to have a friend whose dad worked for the BMW dealership here then he got his own dealership in Alabama.

I never used the Command System. I've heard good things about it though. I wish I knew somebody who owned a dealership. Maybe I could've got a discount.

That's why I wish they still lived next to me. But he had it made, he got to rent a car when ever he wanted! They let him take home a Porsche Turbo, Lamborghini diablo, and a M5.

Must have been nice.

A price limit of $55K!...holy crap...that's expensive. Is that your first car?

No. I had an old Honda Accord that my uncle wanted to buy, so I sold it to him. That left me without a vehicle of my own, so my mother decided to buy me a new one because she thought that selling it to him cheap was very kind. She also owed me from a bet, so I told her my idea, and she said o.k. I didn't have a problem with it.
