There is nothing wrong with giving a responsible teenager (they are NOT mutually exclusive) a 3er as a first car. I had an e46xi for my first car and I have never had a moving violation, accident, etc. I appreciated, resepected, and maintained my car all myself. I think I came out ok and it made me realize how lucky I was that I was driving a quality/safe machine rather than some 4th hand civic

:thumbsdown: for generalizations.

There's always exceptions but threads like this and others that are way worse makes you scratch your chin a bit...

I'm glad my first car was not a luxury car. College puts a toll on your vehicle, especially when beer bottles get hurled at it.

im not a specialist but why u keep saying xi is slower my 535xi 0-60 times is better that a 535i maybe im misreading but the factr that all wheels are moving should make it faster not slower considering my non sport suspention . dont get crazy because of my comment i said im not a specialist.
and about racing i dont really race but if a dude pulls up next to me in a decent car and shows off i would try to put him to shame ( if there are not many cars around) not all the time tho.
before my bimmer i had a g37 and i had a charger with hooked up exterior pulls up next to me and i was driving pretty fast he pulls up and he says are u trying to race and i knew im gonna dust him it wasnt an srt or even an rt i said not really and as soon as i saied he says good answer and pulls out a badge. hes like you the first one today that wasnt trying to race. i think ewhat he is doing is illegal but he could have been off duty and wanted to act up

Wow that's a crazy story, good thing you said you didn't want to race . I also had a hard time reading and understanding your post heh.

lots of g37's in brooklyn with russian teenagers always trying to race =P lucky for me I know the road well and even though i wouldve lost in a fair race, when the other guy hits a pot hole thats like 1 foot deep they give up real quick and yes my 530i is slowwwwwww, an xi should be even slower so...
