Leasing the M3C came out to be a couple hundred less per month than if i were to finance it, with the same down payment, which was only my 1000 deposit.

Ha ha this made me literally laugh out loud!

I'm sure someone will start a thread on that, maybe something like 'Yo, hands up, how many G8x owners got IBS?'

I would say if you only make 100k you probably can't afford this car.

No, but you will need to provide proof of vaccination to post here. Also, we've been trying to reach you regarding your vehicle's extended warranty.

BMW owner is a very generic term. You can lease a 330 in the 400's or an M8 for over 1500 a month. With that being said, I know tons of people with 2, 3 and 4 series who don't make 6 figures. I also know people who make 6 figures a month and drive an Acura or Jeep. A car is literally the worst way to tell someone's financial position, if that's what you're looking at when someone drives a bmw.

I put a lease under my name for $400 a month when I was in college and had almost no income, like 10k a year from working jobs on the side.. lol (I was 19 at the time but had them run my credit for shits... I got tier 1 rates too lolol thought I'd need a co sign)

Lol. This thread is hilarious.

It depends on personal sense of affording the car. I know of people who finance cars worth 150% of their gross yearly salary and others who only buy cars cash and are not comfortable spending so much on a car that won't be as reliable and easy on maintenance as a Toyota.

PS: I buy used.
I've seen hair dressers making like $50K a year driving BMWs. Now, this is because their sugar daddies are making the payments. So really, there's no way to tell how much someone makes based on the car they drive. Hell, in high school I was a service porter for a Porsche dealership. I drove a 959 once, doesn't mean i'm Bill Gates (fun fact, it was his car).

I'm a financial adviser. What I've learned in over 20 years of working with private clients is that what people choose to do with their money after saving for the future varies widely.

My job is to make sure that your investment policy is congruent with your long term financial goals. In other words, behavior aligns with goals. We help people behave according to what they really want, not according to what they want right now.

With that said, some clients have expensive houses, cars, take big vacations, have vacations home, etc. It's all about your perception of value. We, on this forum value driving a BMW M car, for whatever the reason and those reasons differ also.

As far as affordability, that's also a matter of opinion. Some people are content with saving less of their income and plan to work longer. Some save more and plan to retire earlier.

I did not buy/lease an M car until I was 40. Investing in my business/working took priority. I didn't have time to drive for pleasure until I was 40. My situation is of course not universal.

Other than for conversation purposes, it's useless to compare our unique scenarios. We all have our own situations, goals, and values.
