Great answer. Seems like the lesson of PRIORITIES is lost on most other posters. Education should be the only thing on the OP's mind. If he lives on campus he should get by with a scooter. We all want the finest things in life, but first we need to build a very solid foundation before we go out there and get them. $260 a week and $1200 aside is not a foundation. $1200 wouldn't even get a brake job on the E60. This type of thinking is what led this country to its current misery.
Good for you for showing that you are thinking hard about your options. At your age and in your current financial situation, it should be a no brainer and get rid of the car. Once you get the education and a few years of work experience under your belt, you'll be able to REALLY afford an E60 and by that time they'll have even better models out. Then again, you might want to consider securing a house first and then the 5er. It's called paying your dues and it is sweeter when you put your own blood, sweat, and tears toward achieving your dreams of BMW ownership. Something tells me that you will do the right thing and put the money toward your education first and wait for the rest later. Good luck.

They are very drained now and there is no money in the system for FAFSA apps. I know, it happened to a few friends of mine.
