I'm 19 and is driving our E60 quite often. I drove our 535i from when I was 17 
And.. I've never been in any kind of accident (except for one in January where I was hit by a girl who didn't take a look to her right in a crossing). This last year I've probably driven around 15 000 km.

All reputable sources recommend keeping new drivers away from
powerfull cars in the interest of everyone's safety. Do not let him
drive the 545i.

oh wow.... at 12?? and i thought i was "cool" because i learned how to drive stick at 14 in a toyota corolla lol.

My dad put my name under my mom's minivan... but i can still drive all our cars.
. your parents will need to clean up all the $hit if you get into an bad accident (knock on wood) and the limits are exhausted :'(. the other party has the right to go after your parents for additional payments 
. worst case is your parents' assets and properties are now belong to the stranger . even worse is the other party's attorney can take portions of their paychecks and gives the money to the other party...man, i don't even want to continue :'(. so you have to be 200% more careful. you are not only screwing yourself if something goes wrong, your parents, too. if you think of the above, i'm sure you'll drive safely and wisely

How many of you go at more than 5 mph over the limit?

I know all that but maybe you missed what i said before... I do NOT speed (except i go 5 over which everyone does) and i drive carefully no matter what car i am in.
. but (yes, always a but 
) you don't know how others drive. no matter how careful you are, if the guy in front of you drives carelessly, and if you kiss his a$$, you are screwed :'(. or if some punk runs out of the sidewalk and if you hit hit him, even worse :'( :'(. my point is you are careful doesn't mean others are. you know how many more accidents happened after the two 2fast2furious movies? i don't want to sound like your conselor but again, things will happen.

Yea, I understand everything you say, but if it is the other's fault i thought that my insurance won't go up. Is this true?

. first, two insurance companies have to figure out which side is at fault. if the accident involves a third or more parties, even worse 
. probably attorneys are also involved. tons of paperworks, millions of questions, thousands of phone calls, hundreds of doctor visits, etc . man, i don't even want to continue :'(. so even if the other party is at fault, you still won't have sweet dream for awhile. unless...oops, sorry, you are under 18 . no adult jokes here
