Dude do you live with your parents?
Kinda weird to be rolling in an E60 while living with your parents.
EDIT-- just checked your profile. You're 16? And you "earned" your E60. Give me a break. At least your aunt has her head on right, what a ridiculous car for a teenager to be driving. There's something seriously wrong with the Korean American culture when a 16 year old is complaining about driving a civic instead of a $60k BMW.

You are doing this for your dad, not your aunt.
He will remember this gesture as you remember his sacrifices for you; that is why you do it.
Family is more important than property.
Hope your aunt takes care of baby and everything works out.
All the Best!

Has no one ever heard of this brand new service that's really making waves? Erm ... a rental car?
The weekly/monthly rates can be very reasonable, even for something pretty nice like a Chrysler 300. Me thinks a family who can buy a $90K E60 for their son should be able to pony up the funds for a rental car. In fact, if it's a 'branch' of a major rental company, like operating out of a hotel for example, they'll often make a deal given that the rental is being extended for quite some time. It's simply good business and I do speak from personal experience.
And you just got this car, right? What about breaking it in properly? I'd find someone to advise your father about not doing this the right way and the potential damage that can be done for the longterm health of the car. Your aunt isn't going to respect that.
I would do everything I can to keep this from happening, and that doesn't mean you have to be disrespectful about it either. Get some logical options and facts to present to him if you want your way.

Sorry, have to do this: A "shell" is something one picks up from the beach; "she'll" is the casual combination of "she" and "will."
