Hey man, welcome aboard! I had an old 98 civic before I started buying BMWs. Since then I have never left the club ... patience makes the car even better

get an internship in a bit, and then buy a used bmw...my first one was a '89 735il in my junior year...it was old but man it was awesome. Also because of the big roomy engine compartment I got to work on it as well... Ms are expensive and I would recommend buying a different car till you learn how to drive properly (high performance driving). right now I have a '01 530i which is an improvement over the 735il, however, I still have not learned how to manage the 240 something horses that pull it ... so untill then I am not getting a M or upgrading any performance parts < cold air intakes, superchargers, turbos, etc.
Its always a good idea to upgrade suspension and brakes once you find out what true brake fade is, and how lousy stock suspensions can be. Then you upgrade and realize how big of a difference those new upgrades really make...
.. just my $0.02

haha, wow. i wouldnt get an m as my first high performance car cause i would never be able to handle that so im working on maybe doing something to get some more money so i can get an older one but its probably gonna take a while to actually afford it |
