To comment on the O.P's I bought my own car thing. I've been working since I was 14 and i'm the same age as you. I can make 800-2000 a month depending on how many side jobs I do any how much I work and I still didn't have enough income and savings to own/mod/pay for insurance/gas/track my first M3 + the cost of all my other expenses. There's no shame in admitting your parents subsidised the cost of your first nice car until you had enough to take over. That's what happend with my first car and I assume its the same for your first M3.

I said in my post that I'm still paying for the car and that my parents help me out, but absolutely didn't just flat out buy the car for me.Originally Posted by OnURleft
In the peak months in my last job, I was typically making atleast $600 a week. I also had around $4k from my old car + some parts off of it, some money from a job I worked at the marina at Lake Hartwell for one summer when I was 15, and as I said, my parents did pay a couple grand of the car. Plus I sold the BBS RGR's and tires that came with the car for $2,400 and put that towards what I owed. I do still owe them some money on the car, as of course I didn't just have $15k to go buy it ~9 months ago, but it's not like I'm not paying the majority of it![]()
