Ask a brah who bought a 08 530i and picked it up today anything (spoon pics)

[AfflictionShirt]

really not a fan of the styling, it just looks too feminine and bland to me.

Call me crazy, but i think the 3000GT VR4 is much more aesthetic from the outside. Still, girls only care about the badge and series.

[E60M5]

love my 535, but my M5 boner wont go down :< One day....

Do it

[ImAuNatural]

Good job OP worked since age 14 as we'll by age 17 (2 months away from 18) I saved up enough to buy my first car also without parental help. Although I didn't by a Beamer I bought a 2006 civic coupe and it's been a great car. Great on gas,engine will last forever hopefully,and sloots seem to love it as we'll. obviously not as much as a Beamer or anything but still. Good job OP lol at all the haters in the misc.

[MericaBrah]

How did you get a 2008 530i when they weren't even made in 2008.....? That was the change over year when the 525 became the 528 and the 530 became the 535.

It looks like the 2008 530i was only offered in the UK.

[M3some]

How is a 500/month car payment a smart thing? It's actually one of the poorest decisions this dude just made lol. All so he can look cool. While this dude is taking girls on dates to McDonald's because he is broke, the guy in the beat up pickup truck will be taking his woman to michelin star restaurants

Lol @ you judging w/o knowing how much he makes.

[vulgarcriminal]

Nice bimmer, brah. Congrats; hope you enjoy it.

My career is going to be financial consultanting and here are random every day people who aren't studying my major trying to consult me lol!

Jealousy truly shows one of the darkest aspects of us as humans

Constant belittling, putting down, making a person trying to feel like ****, "hating", giving a hard time and using fowl words

All are signs of a person who is showing that they are jealous of someone's success, personal possessions or achievements

I pay no attention to these types of people, what makes it sadder is that they are older than me

In no way am I saying that I am superior or above any individual, merely disappointed by how mature adults respond and react to a younger person with a goal

so your goal is to finance a used 5 series with 80k on the clock?

strong goals

maybe you should set some productive goals

[Ace Thedics]

You ****ed up.

Also, go read your warranty paperwork closely.

No way on earth did the dealer offer to pay for 100% of the problems. Also, for your sake, before buying a higher class vehicle make sure you have money saved up and are actually IN the profession you are studying for.

[Gt3x24x7]

Again, your mentality, personality and type of person you are shows completely unfiltered when you typed these goals

Another sign of jealousy from yet another "adult"

The best you can do is say "strong goal"?

I've heard better and worse insults from kids who shout random **** at me while driving

@Ace Thedics

Know how I can easily tell you are one of those types who just clicks last page/latest post and types without reading a SINGLE word that was posted in the thread?

Quick to jump to conclusions without fully knowing all the details, assuming false facts when you again did not read all the details

I am always respectful when I respond even to the rudest, foul-mouthed, jealous individuals

Dude, I'm not jealous or being disrespectful. You made a bad decision. Period.

Also, as an M5 owner do not make the same mistake and think you can afford it simply because it will be older. The car is a money pit right now, though it is fun.

You are the one trash talking a 19 year old over an internet forum, not me

Self-explanatory I don't need to say anything else

I'm aware of the costs/expenses/maintenance of vehicles such as BMW, my whole family drives only BMW

Do you really think I would purchase a vehicle if I wasn't able to afford it/keep up with payments like the other average dumb asses in this country?

No disrespect but please think logically man

dude you are 19, grow the phuck up lol

do you want us to treat you like a child? that might have worked when you were 12....

[Gt3x24x7]

That is an ironic statement coming from you, especially when you are the one who entered the thread first

No one forced you to click and read everything

If you were truly an adult, you would have not have even opened the thread to post, especially if your intention is to come in and put others down for achieving goals that most other people at their age are completely incapable of doing so

At this point you are only wasting your own time by replying back

[Sounds Good]

How did you get a 2008 530i when they weren't even made in 2008.....? That was the change over year when the 525 became the 528 and the 530 became the 535.

ITT: OP bought the wrong car.

[backintheda]

Hope you can afford that maintenance. lol

While this dude is taking girls on dates to McDonald's because he is broke, the guy in the beat up pickup truck will be taking his woman to michelin star restaurants

Spending money taking girls to Michelin star restaurants is the worse decision of the two. Op will smash with minimal cash spent doing so and gets to enjoy some fine German engineering.

Congratulations op

[1sickZ06]

ITT: OP bought the wrong car.

OP is obviously avoiding the question.

[pwoL]

So wait... Mowing lawns, fixing computers, gardening allowed you to get a BMW @ 19 + Pay for rent in apt in cali + have money to spend and live comfortably in Cali...

not to mention taxes every year, insurance, maintenance, etc... LoL yeah okay. There's better things to do at age 19 than working poverty jobs all day just so you can afford a fancy car.

lol at op being a butthurt know it all teen. I did the same and saved up ~25k cash at age 19-20. I almost spent all of it on a car. Not doing that was the best decision ever, I am so fcuking happy I got talked out of it. But at that time I was just a herp derp teen like OP and thats all I cared about.

Why the fcuk should I or anyone else really care though? do whatever the fcuk you want. If youre ok with the majority of your expenses going towards a depreciating luxury status symbol while living in poverty then more power to you, guess it just comes down to your values.

[PSVita]

That's a lot of money to spend on a 2008 BMW with high mileage for a car that price. I wouldn't of done it myself but you can do whatever the phuck you want.

I personally would of gotten a Volkswagen, VW is considered a much better 'brand' these days. At least in Europe any way.

For that price you could of got a Volkswagen CC. No idea if you have them in the USA though.

You seem rustled bro

you know my 'adult' logic beats the chit out of your childish perspective

since when is it achieving a goal to take on a mountain of debt, and blow 4k cash on a used bmw? sounds like a really dumb decision to me, i guess you'd have to be a naive 19 year old to think that it is something to be proud of

i know that there are plenty of people your age capable of putting 4k down on a used car and making $500 payments from here to valhalla to pay it off - but they arent complete dumbasses and realize their future self will be much happier if they save and invest that money

[VinMichael]

lol talk about trying too hard

lol

[yourname2221]

Hows this for a shorter post OP to show where u ****ed up Mr future financial analyst

You are still in school, you split rent, you put only 4k down on a 6yr old BMW and you work at AT&T.

Oh and you made this thread expecting us to worship the ground you walk on since u got a 5 series.

[Deftone007]

So did you buy a eurospec or what since no 08 530 in US..?

[yourname2221]

In b4 "I know what I bought, its what the title says my brother works at the dealership, even thought I have a lien against the vehicle and don't actually have the title." -OP

[rwclay]

also a bimmer fan, although i never had one at 19, but got my first one, an E46 325 when i was 24, sold it for an E70 X5 (family vehicle) a few yrs later and now i'm going for an 09 M6 vert in June, was pushing for the 08-09 GTR but i just love bimmers minus their depreciation.. lost big on the E46 and most likely X5

[Attaus]

$1300/mo + in apartment and car not including gas

according to the interwebz an AT&T mobile sales associate makes $13/hour.. at 40hr/wk (although you probably work less as a student) is $520 a wk, or $2080/mo BEFORE taxes.

so take home is $1700 ish.. so that leaves you with $400/mo to pay for school, gas, food, cell phone and any other expenses

while parents "drive only BMWs"

strong phrauding *******

Oh well though, good luck to OP on his adventure. If you're gonna go balls out and be stupid might as well have gotten a nicer ride.

Nobody is jealous. We just think its a horrible financial decision. A car doesn't equal success or achievements.

Sorry I was not aware there is a car section, thank you for moving

Figured it would be worth a thread upon first major achievement at a very young age

I'm studying Accounting in college as my major

Personal Budgeting, financial planning and bookkeeping of expenses/costs is my specialty!

This thread is such a mind****.
